John Szerlag, City Manager <br />Hans Ottinot, City Attorney <br />Jane A. Hines, City Clerk <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: The Honorable City Commission <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />Norman S. Edelcup, Mayor <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />December 13,2007 <br /> <br />RE: Proposed Changes to City's Advisory Committees <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br /> <br />It is recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution terminating, creating, and <br />continuing certain advisory committees. <br /> <br />REASONS: <br /> <br />The City's Code provides that the City Commission may have as many standing committees as <br />deemed necessary and that the City Commission may establish or terminate such Committees from <br />time to time. I have conducted a review of the City's existing advisory committees and have found <br />(1) Community Activities and Health Committee duplicates the work of our Cultural and Human <br />Services Department and (2) the Traffic and Safety Committee is hampered because the major <br />thoroughfares in the city are State or County roads. As such, I propose that we terminate the <br />Community Activities and Health Committee and the Traffic and Safety Committee. <br /> <br />Additionally, I propose that we create a new advisory committee - the "Community Awareness <br />Committee" - to assist us with matters affecting community awareness. I would like to continue the <br />Long Range Planning and Intergovernmental Relations Committee, the Tourism and Development <br />Committee, and the Education/Schools Committee. However, I would like to add a caveat that the <br />Education/Schools Committee sunset upon the opening of the new K-8 school. <br /> <br />ADDITIONAL INFORMATION <br /> <br />The City's Advisory Committees moving forward will be (1) Community Awareness Committee; (2) <br />Long Range Planning and Intergovernmental Relations Committee; (3) Tourism and Development <br />Committee; and (4) Education/Schools Committee. <br /> <br />NSE/pw <br /> <br />To be comPleted bv Department Head To be completed by City Clerk's Office <br />Funding available: Approval: Agenda Item No.: I oK <br />Finance Department City Manager lo1.'J3--bl <br /> Commission Meeting Date: <br /> <br />Cover Memo Advisory Committee Term, Created, Continued <br />
