REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM <br />Agenda Date Requested September 12, 2011 <br />Requested By Patrice Fogarty <br />Department: City Secretary <br />Report Resolution: Ordinance X <br />Exhibits: Ordinance <br />Exhibits: <br />Appropriation <br />Source of Funds: <br />Account Number: <br />Amount Budgeted: <br />Amount Requested: <br />Budgeted Item: YES NO <br />SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION <br />The City's procedure for appointing members to various boards and commissions has been to <br />pass an ordinance. Staff recommends that, moving forward, appointments be handled through <br />Council action without passage of an ordinance each time there is a change to any of the City's <br />boards. It is common practice in other cities to appoint board members by Council action <br />without an accompanying ordinance or resolution. <br />The ordinance before Council repeals the latest appointment ordinance (Ordinance No. 3366) <br />which was adopted on June 27, 2011, as well as all other preceding appointing ordinances or <br />parts of ordinances not repealed by passage of Ordinance 3366. <br />If Council adopts this ordinance, there will be an opportunity to take action to re- appoint those <br />members still in their unexpired terms, and an opportunity for Council to appoint or re- appoint <br />those board members whose terms are expiring or where there is a vacancy. <br />Action Required by Council: <br />Staff recommends Council adopt this ordinance repealing Ordinance No. 3366, and that future <br />appointments to boards be through City Council action without an accompanying ordinance. <br />Approved for City Council Agenda <br />Ron Bottoms, City Manager <br />Date <br />
