TITLE
Adopt an Ordinance Amending Municipal Code Chapter 2.22 to Align Human Relations Commission Procedures with Previous Council Direction; CEQA status – not a project.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Council adopt the attached ordinance amending Municipal Code Chapter
2.22 to align Human Relations Commission procedures with previous Council action.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
In March 2023, the City Council adopted an ordinance increasing the Human Relations Commission from five to seven members1. However, related code sections specifying the number of members for a quorum, an ad hoc committee, and procedures for calling an emergency meeting were not updated to account for the increased number of members. This ordinance updates the relevant code sections. This ordinance does not make any changes to the HRC’s scope or workplan.
FISCAL/RESOURCE IMPACT
Adoption of this ordinance is not anticipated to require any additional funding or staff resources.
STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
There was no stakeholder engagement for this specific item.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Adoption of this ordinance is not a project within the meaning of CEQA. 1 See Ordinance 5583 at https://portal.laserfiche.com/Portal/DocView.aspx?id=66129&repo=r-704298fc
