Executive Summary: |
A product of the City Commission’s strategic plan was to produce greater consistency in how advisory boards and committees operate. At the request of the City Commission, the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board considered increasing the number of members of the board, allowing for more community service volunteerism and input. After discussion, the advisory board recommends increasing the board by two (2) members, bringing the total number of members to seven (7). The term of appointment also needed to be changed from four (4) year appointments to three (3) year appointments to comply with Resolution No. 7224, adopted by the City Commission in 2017.
The Commission also requested consideration of changing the meeting time, which has been held at noon the second Tuesday of each month. At the June 12 Advisory Board meeting, the board changed the meeting time to 5:30 p.m. the second Monday of the month, beginning in August on a 3-0 vote.
The Advisory Board has also been working on new bylaws which will be presented for Commission consideration and approval following adoption of Ordinance No. 9510.
