GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council and Park and Recreation Committee review and discuss the City Council-adopted charter for the Town’s Park and Recreation Committee and long range goals and objectives.

BACKGROUND
The City Council discussed Council liaison policy and committee charters at the February 11 Special Meeting with representatives from all Town advisory bodies to strengthen alignment between the Council’s policy direction and the work of the advisory bodies, and reinforce shared understandings of roles, expectations, and broader goals of the committee.

After the initial discussion regarding the role of Council liaisons, Council discussed the purpose, scope, and responsibilities of each advisory body. Council discussed clarifications regarding focus areas for the committees, clarifications of direction from liaisons versus the full Council, and methods for committee members to raise topics to Council agendas. The purpose of this meeting is to continue that discussion related specifically to the Park and Recreation Committee.

ANALYSIS
Committee charters are established through the Resolution Governing Committees (Attachment 1). Charters are defined in this document and Council retains the authority to amend any provision of the Resolution.

At the February 11 meeting, the Council directed changes to the Charter and directed the City Manager to draft amendments based on Council feedback and share the amendments with the Committee for discussion and recommendation back to the Council. The draft amendments to the Park and Recreation Committee charter is below. Attached is the original Resolution as presented

RESOLUTION 26-XX
AMENDS RESOLUTION 23-20
A Resolution of the City Council of the Town of Atherton Establishing and Governing Town Committees
Amended September 18, 2024
The City Council of the Town of Atherton hereby resolves as follows:

Section 1. Establishment of Committees
The following Committees are established for the Town of Atherton:

1. Audit/Finance Committee

2. Environmental Programs Committee

3. Park and Recreation Committee

4. Transportation, Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Committee Section 2. Committee Principles and Rules of Procedure
Principles: All Committees shall follow the City Council Rules of Procedure, the Atherton Municipal Code, the Political Reform Act, and the provisions of the California Open Public Meeting Law (Brown Act). These resources may be found on the Town’s website and/or via the City Clerk’s Office. All members shall attend an education and training session hosted by the City Attorney and City Clerk upon appointment.

The responsibility and accountability for all work necessary to efficiently and cost effectively carry out the advisory functions of each Committee shall rest exclusively with the Chairman or Council Member assigned to the Committee.

A Town Department is assigned to each Committee. Each Department Manager is responsible for providing the necessary staff (in the most cost-effective manner) to prepare for and attend Committee meetings. This includes but is not limited to meeting with the Committee Chair and City Council Liaison in advance of each meeting to create an agenda; prepare the agenda packet; take and prepare minutes; and conduct follow up from meetings.

Committee Agenda Preparation: In general practice, the staff liaison to each Committee shall meet with the Committee Chair and the City Council Liaison in advance of each upcoming meeting to review the meeting agenda. Regular agenda items, such as approval of meeting minutes, followup staff reports, and general information reports shall be added to the agenda as needed. Other items shall be added through one of the methods described below.

One of the following methods may be used for placing an item on a Committee agenda:

1. Council: A majority vote of the Council may direct staff to add an item to a Committee agenda.

Page 7 of 14 ends

ATTACHMENT 1
Resolution No. 26-XX Page 2 of 8 Adoption Date

2. City Manager: The City Manager may receive requests for agenda items from the public, staff, a Committee Member or a Council Member. The City Manager will review the request with the Committee Chair and City Council liaison. The City Manager shall have sole discretion to refer the request to the City Council at the next available meeting, or schedule the item for the Committee agenda.

3. Staff and Committees: There may be a need for routine agenda items which may arise out of Committee meeting discussions; are requested and agreed on by a majority of the Committee as part of Future Agenda Items; or items created from staff follow up of previous Committee and/or staff meetings. These items may be added to a future agenda following an agenda preparation meeting between the Committee Chair, Council Member liaison and staff liaison.

4. Colleagues’ Memorandum: If at least two committee members prepare a colleagues' memo, the staff liaison shall place the item on the Committee’s agenda under a Future Agenda Items Section. A colleague's memo is a written request, no more than two pages in length, presenting an item to be added to a future agenda. Upon review of the colleagues’ memo, the Committee shall not discuss the merits of the item itself; but shall solely discuss whether to add the item to a future agenda for discussion. Upon majority vote of the Committee, the item shall be added to the next agenda or a specific designated Agenda.

Committee Procedures for placing items on Council agenda:

1. Committee Action: Any formal recommendation to Council taken by a Committee shall be placed on a City Council agenda within the next two regular meetings.

The City Clerk has overall responsibility for posting committee agendas.

Advocate: Collectively, Committees are encouraged to advocate positions to the City Council on matters under the purview of their Committee. No Committee or any of its members shall represent itself or themselves as speaking on behalf of the Town, City Council, and/or Committee without prior approval of the City Council. Individual members are not authorized to make public statements or comments on matters within the purview of their Committee outside of the normal Committee process. It could be perceived as using the member’s position to indicate some special knowledge or understanding of the matter, or to confuse members of the public with respect to whether the comments are being made to improperly influence an agency decision. Committee members should refrain from using their title when addressing other boards, commissions, committees, or the City Council to avoid creating an appearance of special status to the public.

Statements of previously approved City Council policy may be made without additional City Council approval. When there is a question, a Committee member shall consult the City Manager for advice. Members of Committees may attend meetings of other Committees and the City Council; however, members shall not present opinions of their own Committee at such meeting unless the position is previously approved by their Committee. A quorum of a Committee may attend such a meeting, but they may not discuss among themselves Town business, nor comment or discuss the matter under consideration unless authorized to do so by the Committee to avoid a possible Brown Act violation.

Resolution No. 26-XX Page 3 of 8 Adoption Date
Educational Materials: Committees may provide approved educational materials to the public regarding the functions and actions of the Committee but shall not engage in advocating to the public any particular position which is contrary to City Council policy. Any educational materials sent to the public shall be approved by the City Manager and shall follow the Town’s procurement process. It shall be the City Manager’s discretion on whether the educational materials need Council approval beforehand.

Meetings: The Committee shall establish a regular meeting schedule on an annual basis in July.

The Department assigned to the committee shall update the website to reflect the meeting schedule.

Changes in the dates or time of meetings from the established schedule may be made by majority vote of the Committee.

Minutes: Staff shall prepare action minutes for all Committees. Action minutes shall be presented to the City Clerk within 7 days following the meeting or as soon as feasible if there is a reason not to produce them within that timeframe. Finalized minutes should be sent electronically to the City Clerk for posting, after the Committee has approved them. The City Clerk will share appropriate information received from the minutes with the City Manager and City Council.

Reports: If desired by the City Council, an annual report shall be created and approved by the Committee and provided to the City Manager, City Clerk and City Council of Committee activities for the preceding year.

Special Meetings: The Chair or a majority of the Committee may call a special meeting at any time in accordance with the Brown Act.

Website: Any website created for a Committee by the Town shall be incorporated into the Town’s website. If created, websites shall be developed in accordance with the “advocate” section of this resolution.

With the exception of the Transportation, Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Committee as described, all appointed members shall be Atherton residents. Members shall serve at the pleasure of the City Council, or until the expiration of their terms set out below. The terms of Committee Members shall be the standard 4-year term; however, the Council retains the option to appoint members for 1-year or 2-year terms. Vacancies in any Committee arising from any reason, including expiration of term, shall be filled by temporary appointment of the City Council, or by annual recruitment.

The Committee Chairperson or staff assigned shall notify the City Clerk of resignations and vacancies. Each Committee which cannot fill at least 50% of its seats shall be postponed until the Town can recruit at least a quorum (50%+1). During that time, the City Council shall continually recruit qualified individuals and town staff shall continue to advertise periodically.

to which they are appointed. A member may be reappointed to the Committee following a minimum two (2) year hiatus. However, if a seat is vacant and no one applies, City Council may grant an exemption. The Council is under no obligation to appoint any applicant to a Committee to which they have applied.

The Mayor may select City Council representatives to serve one (1) year terms as Primary and Alternate Council representatives on Committees. Appointed City Council Members (primary and alternate) shall not serve as voting members to Committees. Alternates serve in the absence of the primary appointed Council Members. However, alternates may attend all meetings provided they do not actively participate. For each Committee, unless otherwise directed by the City Council, one City Council member shall be appointed as a primary liaison and one as an alternate. Members shall coordinate attendance to ensure appropriate representation.

Committee Members who intend to be absent from a meeting shall alert the chairperson and/or staff person assigned. The Chairperson shall state during the meeting, under roll call whether the member is excused (notification was given) or absent (no notification was given). Unexcused absences of members, other than City Council Members, from two or more consecutively scheduled meetings shall result in the automatic vacation of the member’s office. The staff person assigned to the Committee shall work with the Chairperson to alert the City Clerk of consecutive absences. The City Clerk shall alert the City Manager who shall decide how to inform City Council. City Council has the authority to override this rule based on the information received.

Chairperson and Staff: Each Committee shall have a Chairperson. The Committee shall select its Chair on an annual basis in July. Council Members shall not serve as Chair or Vice Chair of Committees. The Department assigned to the Committee shall have the authority to appoint staff member(s) to serve Town Committees. Any requests by a Committee for staff work, information, or assistance from Town staff shall be made to the City Manager.

Section 4: Funding for Committees
Committees do not have authorization to expend Town resources. In the event funding for a Committee activity is desired, a budget shall be prepared and presented to the City Council for review and approval as part of the Town’s regular budget process. The Committee shall follow the guidelines set forth by the Town’s purchasing and expenditure policies. No Committee member shall use his or her own personal credit card. For approved expenditures under $150 a Committee member may request a cash advance and then come back to the Town with itemized receipts. For approved expenditure items over $150, a Committee member shall complete a check request from the Town or have the Town purchase the goods/services.
