BACKGROUND
The City of San Pablo has two City representatives who actively serve two-year staggered terms on the San Pablo Economic Development Corporation Board of Directors.
Councilmember Rich Kinney is serving a two-year term nominated by the City Council and approved by the SPEDC Board for period February 2019 - January 2021. Ms. Genoveva Garcia Calloway, a public member, has been serving as the other City representative and has completed her third and final term in January 2020 pursuant to the SPEDC adopted by-laws Article II, Section C, subpart 1.
SPEDC Executive Director Leslay Choy notified the City Manager via e-correspondence dated January 15, 2020 of the vacancy on the SPEDC Board and outlined the formal procedure for the City to make a nomination of a new City appointee for subsequent SPEDC Board approval at their meeting scheduled on February 19, 2020. That meeting has been rescheduled to February 26, 2020 to accommodate the City Council’s process this evening.

Per the required deadline, the City Manager reports that one application from Ms. Patricia Ponce was received by the City Clerk’s Office (See attachment).
