Edelcup, Mayor Lewis J. Thaler, Vice Mayor Roslyn Brezin, Commissioner Gerry Goodman, Commissioner George "Bud" Scholl, Commissioner A. John Szerlag, City Manager Hans Ottinot, City Attorney Jane A. Hines, City Clerk MEMORANDUM The Honorable City Commission Norman S. Edelcup, Mayor Ir~ December 18, 2008 Creation of City Advisory Committee RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached resolution creating the "City Advisory Committee". REASONS: In the past, the City has had individual committees to address topics such as Capital Projectsj Long Range Technical matters; Social Welfare issues; Tourism/Development; Procurement; Ethics; and Public Safety. Individually, these topics were not enough to keep the committees productive. Therefore, I propose that we create a joint committee to address these and any other topics the City Commission deems appropriate in a collective manner. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The City Advisory Committee ("Committee") will consist of eleven (11) members who shall be appointed for a period of one year, but may be reappointed as often as desired. The Mayor shall appoint three (3) members, to include a Chairperson and Vice Chairperson, and each Commissioner shall appoint two (2) members to the Committee. Further, the Committee shall be governed by the Rules and Procedures of the City, and subject to Florida's Sunshine and Public Records Laws and Financial Disclosure requirements. The Committee appointments are outlined in the attached resolution.
