Overview: The Council Committee on Boards and Commissions has recommendations to refine some seat categories on several boards and amendments to the advisory board membership policy.


Recommendation(s):
That the Council adopt the attached resolution to authorize the Town Manager to act on the Council Committee on Boards and Commissions recommendations and call a public hearing to amend the Land Use Management Ordinance (LUMO).

Summary of Potential Amendments: For Council approval of the recommendations, a two-step process is necessary to make amendments regarding length of term, and board member attendance for the Board of Adjustment and Historic District Commission, which includes a public hearing to amend the LUMO. For this reason, approval of the remaining changes would occur in the second step to make the changes effective at the same time for all advisory boards.

During the second step, amendment to the advisory board membership policy and Chapters 2, 6, 12, and 23 of the Code of Ordinances would adjust the length of term, and board member attendance for the remaining advisory boards.

In addition, during the second step, amendment to the advisory board membership policy would adjust seats on the Parks, Greenways and Recreation Commission, Environmental Stewardship Advisory Board, and Community Design Commission.
