Executive Summary: |
A product of the City Commission’s strategic plan was to produce greater consistency in how advisory boards and committees operate.
When the Lawrence Recreation Commissoin was terminated by Senate Bill No.115 of the 1965 Session of the Kansas Legislature establishing a recreation system in the City, the Governing Body of the City appointed all the members of the Recreation Commission to an advisory board, which is explained in Ordinance No. 3470.
While the advisory board had general direction from the ordinance as to how it was to operate, there were no formalized by-laws established on record. Resolution No. 7224, adopted last year, established policies and procedures related to advisory boards, committees and commissions. The proposed Parks & Recreation Advisory Board by-laws are necessary for the Board to comply with Resolution No. 7224.
