Grigsby, City Manager Date: February 21, 2013 Initiated By: Michelle L. Crandall, Director of Administrative Services Fred Hahn, Director of Parks and Open Space Matt Earman, Director of Recreation Services Re: Ordinance 18 -13 — Combining PRAC and CSAC Summary A goal in the establishment of all of Council's boards, commissions and task forces is to provide meaningful assignments to the many community volunteers who dedicate their time and talent to the City. Over the past few years, it has become challenging to provide assignments to both the Community Services Advisory Commission (CSAC) and the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission (PRAC). As a result, staff has either brought forward presentations that are "information only" or the Commission meetings have not been held each month. A secondary effect of having an increased number of information only presentations is that it has been difficult to achieve a quorum for several of these meetings. The following is a summary of 2011 and 2012 meetings for CSAC and PRAC showing the number of meetings held, the number of meetings with Council assignments and the number of meetings with information only presentations. Total Meetings Held 18 15 Meetings with Council Assignments 12 12 Meetings with Information Only 1 6 1 3 Total Meetings Held 18 14 Meetings with Council Assignments 1 3 12 Meetings with Information Only 15 12 I Recommendation Staff is recommending that Council combine the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission and the Community Services Advisory Commission into a newly formed Community Services Advisory Commission, retaining the existing duties of each commission and adding a duty of responsibility for reviewing and making recommendations related to community bicycling initiatives. Staff further recommends that current members of both commissions, as well as those whose terms expire on March 31, 2013 and are eligible for reappointment to PRAC or CSAC be given the opportunity to remain on the newly formed Community Services Advisory Commission. Staff recommends approval of Ordinance 18 -13 at the second reading /public hearing on March 11, 2013. 18 -13 (Amended) AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTIONS 32.60 THROUGH 32.61 AND SECTION 32.63 AND REPEALING SECTIONS 32.70 THROUGH 32.78 OF THE CODIFIED ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN, COMBINING THE DUTIES AND FUNCTIONS OF THE PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY COMMISSION AND THE COMMUNITY SERVICES ADVISORY COMMISSION INTO A NEWLY CONFIGURED COMMUNITY SERVICES ADVISORY COMMISSION WHEREAS, City Council has reviewed the duties, functions and assignments of the Community Services Advisory Commission and the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission; and WHEREAS, the efforts and dedication of the current and past members of the Community Services Advisory Commission and the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission were instrumental in the progress they have made toward achieving their goals and mission; and WHEREAS, City Council has determined that it is appropriate to consolidate these two Commissions in the spirit of providing an opportunity to members for meaningful and purposeful service to the City; and WHEREAS, City Council has determined it is desirable to maintain an advisory committee of citizen experts who are capable of advising City Council on matters related to the maintenance and enhancement of the City's public services, parks and recreation services and natural resources; and WHEREAS, City Council desires to amend Chapter 32 of the Codified Ordinances in order to revise the duties and functions of the Community Services Advisory Commission to incorporate the current duties and functions of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission; and WHEREAS, it is necessary to repeal Sections 32.70 through 32.78 (Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission) of the Codified Ordinances of the City of Dublin.
