RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Parks, Recreation and Community Services (PRCS) Commission (1) draft a PRCS Commission Biannual Report to the City Council, including accomplishments during the period January through June 2026, and the PRCS Commission’s 2026 Scheduled Activities Plan; and (2) authorize transmittal of the report to the City Council.
BACKGROUND
City Council Policy 3002, City Commissions, Boards and Committees; Appointed Representatives to Outside Agencies and Boards (CBC Policy), Section VI (page 7), states (in part): “Periodically, but no less than biannually, each CBC shall submit to the City Council a written report on their respective activities.” In order to prepare for this requirement, the City Clerk’s Office has directed staff to place this item on the agendas of all CBCs for their upcoming June or July meeting.
The written report to the City Council must list the PRCS Commission’s accomplishments during the previous six-months and the 2026 Scheduled Activities Plan. Upon transmittal of the report, City Clerk’s Office staff will then compile all of the work plans, draft a City Council staff report, and place it on the agenda as a “Receive and File” report. The previous report (Attachment 1) was presented to the City Council on February 23 2026, along with those of the other CBCs.
DISCUSSION
Accomplishments During the Period January through June 2026
