Creeks Citizens Advisory Committee

In November 2000, when the City’s Creeks Division was formally established, the City Council also established a Citizens Advisory Committee. The City Council appointed citizens to the Creeks Advisory Committee to advise Creeks staff and City Council on matters related to the Creeks Restoration and Water Quality Improvement Division. The Committee provides a public forum for consultation and discussion of Creeks Division objectives, projects, and programs.

The Advisory Committee consists of seven voting members. The Committee is composed of at least one member from the hotel/lodging industry and at least one member with experience in environmental/land use issues. The remaining five members have experience in ocean use, business, environmental issues, and/or provide community-at-large representation. The in-depth and varied knowledge of these individuals forms a highly valuable collective body of expertise and experience.

Public meetings are held monthly in the David Gebhard Public Meeting Room at 630 Garden Street at 5:30 p.m. Meetings are aired on the City’s Channel 18 television station and as of July 2007 are available on-demand on the Creeks Division website. Meeting agendas are available on the City’s web site by the Friday prior to the meeting. The Creeks Restoration and Water Quality Improvement Citizens Advisory Committee is subject to the Brown Act with meeting agendas and supporting documents posted and distributed to interested parties prior to each meeting.  If you would like to apply for a position on the Creeks Citizens Advisory Committee, click here.
