RECOMMENDATION Approval of the Resolution BACKGROUND Since Resolution No. 12033 was passed and approved on December 13, 2010, a recruitment process was conducted to fill the Board with community representatives. The application process proved to be a challenge in getting interested citizens to apply for the specific Board membership categories. Following a Council discussion at the April 25, 2011 City Council meeting, members of the Administrative Staff reviewed the Resolution. Following a complete review and the need to Activate the Board of Directors, the following changes are recommended 1. Open all Board positions to any City Resident (At-Large); 2. The Board will remain at a total of seven (7) members with staggered terms; 3. Initial Staggered Terms will be decided by the City Clerk according to the time when applications were received (earliest received will receive longer terms) 4. The Parks Department will reach out to the area elementary, middle and high school’s Student Councils in order to encourage involvement on the Board allowing interested students to serve as an “Ex-Officio” member of the board; and 5. It will be a Goal of the Board to eventually consist of both at-large citizens and a majority large neighborhood representation. FINANCIAL IMPACT This is a volunteer Board and Members will serve without compensation.
