DESCRIPTION: On November 9, 1992, the City Council conducted a
public hearing and discussed the options and the process to be used
for appointing and removing members of the Planning Commission, Park &
Recreation Commission, and Senior Center Advisory Committee, due to
changes necessitated as a result of the Mayor's position being
directly elected.
Resolution No. 128-92 was adopted which established a Nominating
Committee for Nomination of Commission/Committee Appointments. The
Nominating Committee will consist of Mayor Snyder and Councilmember
Moffatt.
Resolution No. 's 129-92 and 130-92 were also adopted which amended the
Bylaws and Rules of Procedure for the Park & Recreation Commission and
the Senior Center Advisory Committee to provide for the way in which
appointments and removals would be made. Appointments shall be made
by the Mayor, with the approval of the City Council. The Mayor may,
without the approval of other Councilmembers, remove a Commissioner/
Committee Member at any time during their term of office.
The Planning Commission Ordinance, as introduced, would state:
"Members shall be appointed to the Planning Commission by the Mayor,
subject to the approval of the Council and shall serve their
respective terms of office at the sole pleasure of the Mayor. The
Mayor may, without the approval of other Councilmembers, remove a
Planning Commissioner at any time during the Commissioner's term of
office.
If the Ordinance is adopted at this meeting, it will become effective-
on December 23 , 1992 . Following the effective date of the Ordinance,
the Mayor will make an announcement related to which members of each
Board will serve 4-year terms and which members will serve 2-year
terms. Any open positions on the various Boards would then be
advertised. At the November 9th Council meeting, Staff was directed
to clarify the Mayor's position and intention that all Planning
Commissioners, Park & Recreation Commissioners and Senior Center
Advisory Committee Members terms would continue without disruption
until the Nominating Committee has met and made recommendations which
the Mayor will announce to the City Council for ratification.
Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing;
deliberate; waive the second reading and adopt the Ordinance.
