CITY OF CARLSBAD
1200 ELM AVENUE
CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA 92008
June 1, 1988
ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. W
TO: ALL DEPARTMENTS
FROM: City Manager
SUBJECT: DISSEMINATION OF PUBLIC INFORMATION TO COMMISSIONS
REFERENCE: (a) Carlsbad Municipal Code
(b) Commissioners' Handbook, March 1988
PURPOSE
To establish a uniform policy and procedure for dissemination of public
information to commissions.
BACKGROUND
The City Council is increasingly using citizen commissions to provide input to
the City government of Carlsbad. The primary responsibility of these commis-
sions is to advise and make recommendations to the City Council; other duties
and powers are specified in the Municipal Code or relevant resolution.
Implementation of the following procedures will help ensure that each
commission is used effectively, efficiently and for the purpose it was
designed.
PROCEDURES
1. REQUEST FOR INFORMATION - BE RESPONSIVE. This is true whether a request
comes from a commissioner, citizen, the press, or staff member.
2. DISTRIBUTE RESPONSES to all members of the commission. These bodies are
designed to work together toward a common goal and therefore need to
share the same information.
3. NEW PROJECTS. Commissions/commissioners should not and cannot direct
City staff to work on new projects without the approval of the City
Council. Therefore, if a request for information begins to look like a
"project", if it is "sensitive" in nature, and/or you have doubts,
discuss the request with your supervisor for direction.
