HANDBOOK FOR APPOINTED BOARDS, COMMISSIONS AND AUTHORITIES

end                                                        

 

SUMMARY:

                                          

The Handbook for Appointed Boards, Commissions and Authorities is designed to provide a standardized operating procedure for all of Council appointed Boards, Commissions and Authorities, unless otherwise dictated by State Law, i.e. Pension Boards.

 

A Standardized Rules and Procedures manual for each board is currently being developed by staff, with the handbook serving as guidance.

 

The goal of the handbook is to, where possible and practicable, mirror City Council’s Rules and Procedures with individual adjustments, where dictated, by the nuances of an individual Board, Commission or Authority.

 

Recently, a set of Rules and Procedures were adopted by both the Redistricting Commission and the Charter Review Commission.

 

Coinciding with the approval of the Handbook, when presented for Council Consideration, will be amendments to the enabling ordinances, where required.

 

PRIOR ACTION:                     

 

June 11, 2020 - City Council discussed the handbook and provided input for suggested changes, additions, and deletions
