BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
California Government Code § 54970 (commonly referred to as the “Maddy Act”), declares that “a vast and largely untapped reservoir of talent exists among the citizenry of the State of California, and that rich and varied segments of this great human resource are, all too frequently, not aware of the many opportunities which exist to participate in and serve on local regulatory and advisory boards, commissions, and committees.” Therefore, in an effort to provide opportunities for residents to contribute back to their communities through their backgrounds, experiences, perspectives and talents, California Government Code § 54972 directs local government jurisdictions to provide transparent and sufficient notice to members of the public regarding opportunities that may exist to participate in local regulatory or advisory boards, commissions, and committees. The Maddy Act requires legislative bodies to prepare an appointment list, on or before December 31st of each year, to provide notice on upcoming term expirations of members of boards, commissions, and committees that are appointed by the legislative body. The legislative body for the City of Lodi is its City Council. The list shall contain the following information:
§ all appointive terms which will expire during the next calendar year,
§ the name of the incumbent appointee,
§ the date of appointment,
§ the date the term expires, and
§ the necessary qualifications for the position.
The 2025 Local Appointments List is attached and the document will be posted on the designated official posting boards at City Hall, Carnegie Forum, and the Lodi Public Library.
