DISCUSSION:
This matter was continued from the August 21, 2012, City Council meeting. In March of this year, the City Council consolidated the Community Services Commission and the Senior Citizen
Services Commission into the Community and Senior Services Commission. The Community and Senior Services Commission aids and advises the City Council on matters pertaining to the needs
of the citizens of West Covina relating to public recreational services, cultural activities and special events, senior services, youth services, and public transportation. Commissioners
are also instrumental in assisting the City with the development of the City’s annual Community Development Block Grant and Capital Improvement Project budgets.
An appointment to the Community and Senior Services Commission is necessary due to resignation of former commissioner John Hughes. Proper legal notification was given inviting interested
residents the opportunity to apply for the position. The appointment to this position will be for the unexpired term ending March 31, 2013.
