Subject: CC mtg Agenda item on boards/commissions update/review To: Burns, Pat <[email protected]>
Councilman Burns,
I wholeheartedly support your agenda item. There needs to be clarity on what has been implemented since the 2021 consolidation of city boards and commissions. A review of existing bylaws, manuals and guidelines commenced in 2021. What were the results?
There needs to be clarity on the roles, authorities and responsibilities of boards/commissions and their members.
Is it the intention of the council to have appointed individuals have input in the appointment process of members of their own boards? (Historic Resources Bd bylaws) If that is the case should the council extend that formal appointment input to other boards and commissions? Lastly, to the extent possible there should be public online access to board/commission bylaws/guidelines/manuals. I queried staff about this in December 2022 and ultimately asked Mr. Zelinka who advised me in February 2023 that this was in the works.
Our boards and commissions should be an open book. Mr. Zelinka seemed to understand that basic concept which somehow gets overlooked.
Thank you for bringing this matter forth as an agenda item.
Pat Quintana
