SUMMARY/DISCUSSION
Members of the Native American and Archaeological Resources Technical Panel (“Panel”) are appointed by the County of Monterey Planning Commission after staff receives a Statement of Interest form filled out by the interested party. At the October 31, 2024, meeting staff provided the existing form (Attachment 1) to the Panel for review and the Panel requested revision of the form to include request for information on qualifications (Attachment 2).
The Panel also put forth a request to confirm if the County would be able to send out a solicitation letter. Staff confirmed with County Counsel that sending a solicitation letter is an appropriate action for staff (Attachment 3). Staff included the Bylaws of the Panel (Attachment 4) and Monterey County Code Section 2.95 (Attachment 5) as part of this report as both documents will be included as enclosures to the Solicitation Letter.
Staff recommends that the Panel receive and review the revised Statement of Interest, and receive and review the draft Solicitation Letter.
