March 29, 2004 To: Roseville City Attorney From: John Kysylyczyn CC: Roseville City Council RE: Complaint to Council on Pathways Committee violation of Resolution No. 9372 Roseville City Council Resolution No. 9372 addresses the appointment process, reappointment process, and term limits for all city commissions and other related advisory groups and task forces. Recently, the City Attorney issued an opinion which stated that this Resolution is still in effect. It has recently come to my attention that the Roseville Pathways Committee is in violation of this resolution. The Roseville Pathways Committee was appointed approximately 10 years ago, and continues to meet annually at a minimum. Their last meeting was held in January 2004. Their meetings are held at public facilities, and include participation and support by city staff. The members of the Committee are in violation of the resolution for the following reasons: '" They have served for approximately 1 0 years without being subject to reappointment (page 3) of 1 0 years of service exceeds all term limit standards (page 3) The Committee as an entity is in violation of the resolution for the following reasons: . No applications have been accepted in 1 0 years (page 3) .. Opportunities to serve have not been advertised for 10 years (page 2) In addition to the violations referenced under Resolution No. 9372, the Pathways Committee also violates past practice of the Roseville City Council. No other committee has ever existed which has granted members life terms without the need for reappointment, and does not advertise or provide opportunities for new members to apply. In view of these numerous violations, it would be my f'ecommendation that the Committee be disbanded and its members thanked for their service.
