7.a)1) Staff Report-PRC Chair and Vice Chair Terms and Selection DatesSCANDIA
Staff Report
Date of Meeting: March 17, 2015
To: City Council
From: Judi Negus, Office Assistant
Re: PRC Chair and Vice Chair Election Date and Term Expiration Date
Background:
Ordinance 91 provides that the Chairperson and Vice Chairperson of the Parks and Recreation
Committee are appointed by the Commission from among the members of the Commission, subject
to approval by the Council, for a term of one year. Furthermore, the bylaws of the Parks and
Recreation Committee provide that election of officers will be held at the first meeting of February of
each year.
Issue:
Should the Committee's bylaws be revised to reflect a change in the election date for Chair and Vice
Chairperson? Should the term expiration date for Committee members be changed to coincide with
the proposed election date change? Should Ordinance No.91 be amended likewise?
Proposal Details:
The Parks and Recreation Committee is recommending the election of Chair and Vice Chairperson
be held at the first meeting of March of each year, rather than the first meeting in February. In
addition, the Parks and Recreation Committee is recommending the Committee member term
expiration date be changed to the last day of February. The Committee is making these
recommendations to eliminate potential conflict with Vinterfest obligations by Committee members.
Fiscal Impact:
None.
Options:
1. Approve Ordinance No. 160 and the amendments to the Parks and Recreation Committee
Bylaws as recommended.
2. Do not approve to revise the Parks and Recreation Committee Bylaws and ordinance as
recommended.
Recommendation:
Option 1.
