REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br /> Date: April 16, 2012 <br /> Item No.: 13.d <br />Department Approval City Manager Approval <br />Item Description: Consider a Uniform Code for Commissions <br />B <br />ACKGROUND <br />1 <br />Roseville currently has six standing commissions. Each of the commissions was established at <br />2 <br />different times in response to different needs of the community. As a result, commissions have <br />3 <br />been established in a piecemeal fashion, and are not consistent. <br />4 <br />Staff looked to other cities to see how commissions are organized. Staff found that many cities <br />5 <br />have a uniform policy on establishing commissions followed by ordinances addressing specific <br />6 <br />needs of the specific commission. <br />7 <br />Staff reviewed language establishing commissions and found many common themes and <br />8 <br />structures. Using the common language, staff developed a uniform code to establish boards and <br />9 <br />commissions. This includes Establishment; Purpose; Membership; Terms; Compensation; <br />10 <br />Organization; Meetings and Reports; Rules; and Bylaws. <br />11 <br />PO <br />OLICYBJECTIVE <br />12 <br />Create a consistent policy to establish boards and commissions <br />13 <br />FI <br />INANCIALMPACTS <br />14 <br />None <br />15 <br />SR <br />TAFF ECOMMENDATION <br />16 <br />Review the proposed ordinance and discuss benefits of establishing a uniform code for all <br />17 <br />commissions. <br />18 <br />RCA <br />EQUESTEDOUNCILCTION <br />19 <br />Review the proposed ordinance and discuss benefits of establishing a uniform code for all <br />20 <br />commissions. <br />21 <br />22 <br />23 <br />Prepared by: [Name,Title] <br />Attachments: A: Draft Uniform Commission Code <br />Page 1 of 1 <br /> <br />
