Every two years, after the General Election, the Scotts Valley City Council elects a new mayor. Then the newly appointed mayor selects individual council members to serve on “interjurisdictional” committees, standing local committees, and project-specific subcommittees.
Standing local committees are publicly noticed committee meetings that fall under the Brown Act (open government laws) and are open to the public.
Project specific subcommittee meetings are not subject to Brown Act and therefore are not open to the public and do not require advance notice.
This is because project-specific subcommittee meetings are of a limited duration and meet infrequently.
Subcommittees are designed to be formed for one year or less depending
on the subject matter. Typically, these meetings include the appointed council representative, staff, and if needed, external individuals.
If any subcommittee includes more than two council members in attendance, then it has to be an open meeting, under state law, because it includes a majority of the council.
Council members include: Mayor Randy Johnson, Vice Mayor Jim Reed, and council members Donna Lind, Jack Dilles, and Stephany Aguilar.
For information about agendas and meeting times for the public committee, call City Clerk Tracy Ferrera, 831-440-5600.
