.4� <br /> � <br /> REPORT <br /> To the Honorable Mayor and City Council <br /> From the City Manager <br /> September 13, 2004 <br /> Subject <br /> Introduction of an Ordinance amending the language for Term of Office for the Civic <br /> Cultural Commission, Park and Recreation Commission and the SeniorAffairs Commission <br /> Recommendation <br /> Introduce an ordinance modifying the description of terms for the above-mentioned <br /> Commissions such that incumbents can continue to serve until their replacement has been <br /> selected and installed. <br /> Background <br /> In the code sections for the term of office of the Civic Cultural Commission, the Park and <br /> Recreation Commission and the Senior Affairs Commission terms end every two years on <br /> the 31 St of May. The terms are established such that the terms of either four (4) or three <br /> (3) commissioners conclude every two years. The language specifically states that the <br /> terms ends on May 31 St . This language could become problematic if Council is not able to <br /> make appointments prior to the end of the term and a majority of the seats on the <br /> Commission are open. In essence, the Commission would go out of business until the <br /> appropriate appointments could be made. Even in the case, where less than a majority is <br /> subject to appointment it may be more difficult to conduct the business of the Commission. <br /> The changes proposed would avoid these situations by allowing existing members to <br /> continue their services until a replacement is appointed. <br /> Alternative <br /> Do not approve the recommended language change. <br /> Fiscal Impact <br /> None <br /> i� � <br /> . ��, � � / � j � � � <br /> Corinne Centeno `-'`" � / <br /> Ed ett <br /> Parks, Recreation and Community Services Director City Manager <br /> Attachment <br /> Ordinance <br />
