The City of Santa Clara is seeking volunteers to serve on a City Charter
Review Committee (CRC).

The purpose of the CRC is to make advisory recommendations to the City
Council, who will then determine if existing City Charter language
requiring competitive bidding for Public Works projects can be modified
to allow for focused, limited use of a design/build process not subject
to competitive bidding in some or all of the construction of a National
Football League stadium.

The committee will consist of 16 members: each Council Member will
select one individual (7), one member is to be appointed by the
Citizen’s Advisory Committee, one member will be appointed by the
Chamber of Commerce, and seven at-large members are to be selected by
City Council through an application/interview process. Selection of the
at-large members will be accomplished by advertising the vacancies in a
manner similar to that used for Board and Commission vacancies.

Interested parties, including those directly recommended by individual
Council members, will be required to submit a letter of interest and
qualifications to the City Clerk’s Office no later than August 12, 2009.
The complete roster of committee appointees is subject to approval by
the full City Council. Interested applicants must be Santa Clara
residents and registered voters, as is required for all City Boards and
Commissions.

The deadline to receive applications is August 12, 2009 at 5 p.m.
Informal interviews will be held on August 18 at 5:30 pm, with selection
of members immediately following at the Council meeting.

The initial meeting of the CRC will take place on Thursday,
August 20, 2009, 5:30 – 7 pm in the Council Chambers. Subsequent
meetings (all to be held in the Council Chambers from 5:30 – 7 pm):
Thursday, September 3, 2009
Thursday, September 17, 2009
Thursday, October 1, 2009 (if necessary)

Committee members are expected to attend all of the meetings.

If you are a registered voter, a resident of Santa Clara and are
interested in serving on this committee, or just want more information,
contact the City Clerk’s Office, 1500 Warburton Avenue, Santa Clara, CA
95050.
