RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Parks, Recreation and Community Services (PRCS) Commission adopt motions to (1) appoint / reappoint PRCS Commission Members as liaisons to various outside associations and City Committees; (2) appoint / reappoint Members to serve on PRCS Commission Ad Hoc Subcommittees; and, (3) provide updates, if any.
BACKGROUND
At the beginning of the new fiscal year, the PRCS Commission traditionally appoints Members to represent the Commission on various outside Associations and on City Committees. In addition, the Commission reviews the list of Ad Hoc Subcommittees and appoints/reappoints Members, as deemed appropriate. Over the past several years, as the Commission has considered its appointments to PRCS Commission Ad Hoc Subcommittees, it has been mindful of the requirements of the Ralph M. Brown Act (Brown Act) and the important differences between a “Standing Committee” and an “Ad Hoc Subcommittee.” Standing Committees are required to comply with the provisions of the Brown Act (including public notification and public participation). Ad Hoc Subcommittees are not subject to those requirements. As provided for in the Brown Act, a standing committee has a continuing subject matter jurisdiction, or a meeting schedule fixed by charter, ordinance, resolution, or formal action of a legislative body. Whereas, in general an “ad hoc” subcommittee serves only a limited or single purpose, it is not perpetual and is dissolved when the specific task is completed.
DISCUSSION
While discussing each appointment, staff recommends the Commission provide any updates.
Staff recommends that the Commission refer to the attached list of current appointments (Attachment 1) to appoint or reappoint members. The motions listed below may be repeated as many times as the Commission deems appropriate.
