RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Review proposed term lengths (Exhibit 1) and direct City Attorney to prepare
documents necessary to implement the proposed changes.
~~
ITEM EXPLANATION
The City Council recently adopted Council Policy Statement Number 47 which limit
appointments to two consecutive terms for Planning Commission, Design Revie1
Board and Housing and Redevelopment Advisory Committee Members. In Januq
1991, the Mayor indicated that it will be his policy to limit appointments to a
Boards, Commissions and Committees to two consecutive terms. Staff was als
directed to evaluate current term lengths to determine what could be done to brim
more continuity to the terms of Boards, Commissions, and Committees. Establish
four year term lengths would bring this continuity to terms. The only exception 1
the four year term length would be the Design Review Board. It is recommended th;
Design Review Board Member terms be increased from one to two years due to t3
staggered terms members serve on their qualifying committee and commissio~ (Members must be serving on either the Planning Commission or Housing il~:
Redevelopment Advisory Committee.) These changes in term length will apply on to new appointments.
If the City Council so directs, City Attorney will prepare documents necessary
implement the proposed changes.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.
