SUMMARY
Each year the City Council appoints commissioners to various city boards. This year, the following
positions were open for appointment; two seats on the Planning Commission, two seats on the Parks and
Recreation Commission, one seat on the Utility Commission, two seats on the Port Authority, and one
seat on the Environmental / Sustainability Task Force.
In addition, Council has opted to add two positions to the Parks & Recreation Commission. An
Ordinance amending Title 2, Chapter 2 of the City Code and an amendment to the Parks and Recreation
Commission Bylaws are necessary to make that possible. Staff recommends that one of the new positions
term end in two years (2019), so that there is not a 4-member shift in 2020.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of above three motions.
