SUMMARY
Agenda Item No. ~
Meeting Date: August 21, 2007
SUBJECT AND ISSUE
Accept the resignation of Luke Lam from the Technology, Information and Communications
Commission (TIC C) and decide whether to fill the vacancy or change the number of members.
BACKGROUND
In February of this year, the City Council increased the membership of the TrCC from five members
to seven. In July, Charles Ahern resigned, and Council directed staff to leave the position vacant
until January 2008, when interviews will take place for all scheduled commission vacancies.
Mr. Luke Lam's resignation creates a second vacancy, so the City Council may wish to consider
returning the commission membership to five members, in which case there would be no vacancies
on the TICC.
The commission's staff liaison, Rick Kitson, indicates that the TrCC members have no objection to
returning to five members. Except for the Teen Commission, all other city commissions have five
members.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Accept the resignation of Mr. Luke Lam
2A. Direct staff to prepare an ordinance to return the Technology, Information, and
Communications Commission membership to five members; or
28. Direct staff to fill the vacancy in January, 2008.

Hello Andy and Rick,
Fortunately for Amston Builders, business is ramping up quickly. Unfortunately for me, that business growth demands so much of
my attention, In addition we also welcome a new baby to our family. These demands put me in a position where I don't think I
can fulfill my obligations to TICC.
As a result, I have decided to resign my position as a commissioner on the TICC, effective immediately.
As Charlie says, "my impression is that there are better qualified and motivated candidates available to TICC, who should be able
to fill my position. I expect that one of them will be a more productive member of TICC than I have been." Couldn't said it better
myself. Thanks.
Cheers,
