BACKGROUND
City Charter section 1003 states that each of the boards and commissions of the City shall hold regular meetings as required by ordinance. City Code section 2.120.030 states that each board or commission shall hold regular meetings at the times and on the days indicated by resolution of the City Council, and that such resolution may be amended from time to time by further Council resolution. Resolution No. 5195 (Attachment 1), which was adopted by the City Council in 1987, states that the Parks & Recreation Commission shall hold meetings on the third Tuesday of each month at 7:30 p.m.
DISCUSSION
At the January 15, 2019 Parks & Recreation Commission meeting, the Commission recommended the proposed Parks & Recreation Commission meeting schedule for 2019 (Attachment 2), which includes 12 meetings on the third Tuesday of each month and recommended modified start time of 7:00 p.m., beginning in February 2019. A proposed resolution, which would amend the previously adopted Resolution 5195 in regards to the Parks & Recreation Commission scheduling of regular meetings is attached to this report (Attachment 3) for Council consideration.
