Park and Recreation Commission Meeting Date: 04/13/2023 Submitted For: Mark Riverblood, Engineering/Public Works By: MaryJo Warner, Engineering/Public Works Information Title: Nominate Chair and Vice -Chairperson of the Park and Recreation Commission 5.3. Purpose/Background: Each year, City Council makes appointments to their various subcommittees, with commissions and boards also expected to appoint a Chair and Vice -Chair for their respective entity. The purpose of this case is to establish the Commission's Chair and Vice -Chair for 2023 into 2024. In terms of process, staff proposes nominations for first the Chair, and then after approval by the majority of voting Commissioners, the Vice -Chair position also administered in the same manner (It may be pointed out that, in that there is no official protocol for this process, the Commission may perform the nominations and/or the voting by paper 'ballots' forwarded to the Ex Officio as part of this case, if desired.) The Terms of Boards and Commission are from April 1st through March 31st of the respective year(s). In recent years, the Commission has reaffirmed the Chair and Vice -chair as the same individuals by unanimous support from the membership. However, earlier this year City Council has enacted a policy affecting eligibility to hold the Chair position for the Planning and Park & Recreation Commission, as well as the Economic Development Authority and the Environmental Policy Board, and is summarized as follows: The City Council desires to offer members the opportunity to grow their experience on the commission; therefore, following a maximum of two consecutive terms as Chair of the respective commission, a new Chair will he selected. The outgoing Chair may be appointed to Vice Chair role —they would need to sit out for at least one term then, (not as Chair) to be eligible once again. Notification: Observations/Alternatives: Funding Source: n/a Recommendation: Action: Motion to designate Chair, and Vice Chair of the Park and Recreation Commission from April 2023 through March 31, 2023.
