RECOMMENDED ACTION:

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