Summary
On April 17, 2024, and May 15, 2024, the Council Legislation/Environmental Committee reviewed and provided direction to staff for changes to Chapter’s 3.02 and 3.03 of the Council Policy Manual. Those changes are presented for the City Council’s consideration for adoption.
DISCUSSION
Background
At the May 15, 2024, Council Legislation/Environmental Committee meeting, proposed changes to Chapters 3.02 and 3.03 were discussed by the Committee and recommendation forwarded to Council.
Chapter 3.02 language regarding recruitment for applicants to Boards and Commissions contained outdated language and did not reflect best practices. Updated language is reflected in the attached redline policy (Attachment A).
Chapter 3.03 regarding the attendance policy for Boards and Commissions needed clarity to ensure better governance. Language was updated to further define absences, meeting types, process for addressing violations, and provide clarity regarding boards that were an exception. These changes are reflected in the attached redline policy (Attachment B).
Present Situation
In accordance with Council Legislation/Environmental Committee recommendation, Staff now presents proposed redlines for Council Policy Manual Chapters 3.02 and 3.03 for adoption.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY
There is no financial impact from approval of these changes.
