5.2C Page 1 REPORT .. T~th..R.l!v.l()pm'flt..A9'fl~YEl()ard . From the Executive Director June 26, 2006 Subject Amendment to by-laws of the Redevelopment Agency naming new Executive Director Recommendation Approve the amendment to the by-laws of the Redevelopment Agency designating the Redevelopment Manager as the Executive Director of the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Redwood City. Background The by-laws of the Redevelopment Agency (Agency) define the officers and their duties. The Executive Director ". . . shall have general supervision over the administration of the business and affairs of the Agency, subject to the direction of the Agency." The original 1982 by-laws designated the City Manager as the Executive Director. However, in 1987 an amendment was approved that designated the Housing and Redevelopment Director as the Executive Director. Another amendment in February, 2003 designated the Planning and Redevelopment Manager as the Executive Director. This amendment simply reflected a change in title for the position held by Mike Church, who had served as Executive Director since 1987. The 2003 amendment to the by-laws also stated that the Executive Director of the Agency would have the same authority to enter into personal service contracts and all purchases of materials, equipment and supplies as then existed or would be thereafter authorized for the City Manager of the City. That authority was increased from $10,000 to $60,001 in November, 2002. Therefore, the February 2003 Agency amendment also granted those same budgetary limits to the Executive Director of the Agency. As stated, Mike Church has served as Executive Director oftheAgency since 1987. In the late winter of 2003, the Community Development Services Department was reorganized and the Planning and Redevelopment functions were split into two divisions. Mr. Church was appointed Planning Manager and Ms. Susan Moeller was appointed Redevelopment Manager. Since Ms. Moeller was managing the day-to-day operations of the Agency, on March 28, 2003, Mr. Church delegated authority to Ms. Moeller to sign for the Redevelopment Agency on all staff reports and legal agreements; in effect delegating the authority to her to function in the same capacity as the Executive Director. Mr. Church is retiring and his last day of work is July 12, 2006. Therefore, the Agency Board must appoint a new Executive Director. It is recommended that the Agency's bylaws be amended and that the Redevelopment Manager be designated as the Executive Director. 1:_REDEVELOPMENTI2006 STAFF REPORTSI06-2006fRDA Executive Director" 1 ..,...."_._-,,-,.----_.~""--,~.....
