Roseville Public Works, Environment and <br />Transportation Commission <br />Agenda Item <br />Date: October 23, 2012 Item No: 6 <br />Item Description: Uniform Commission Code Proposal <br />Background: <br />The Commission asked for a discussion on the uniform commission code proposal that was <br />presented to the City Council earlier this year. <br />Roseville currently has six standing commissions. Each of the commissions was established at <br />different times in response to different needs of the community. As a result, commissions have <br />been established in a piecemeal fashion, and do not have consistent language in city code. <br />The City Manager's office researched other cities to see how commissions are organized. Staff <br />found that many cities have a uniform policy on establishing commissions followed by <br />ordinances addressing specific needs of the specific commission. <br />The City Manager's reviewed language establishing commissions and found many common <br />themes and structures. Using the common language, staff developed a uniform code to establish <br />boards and commissions. This includes Establishment; Purpose; Membership; Terms; <br />Compensation; Organization; Meetings and Reports; Rules; and Bylaws. <br />The attached draft does not reflect feedback from Commission Chairs that was requested. <br />Recommended Action: <br />Discuss proposal <br />Attachments: <br />A. Draft ordinance <br />B. Minutes of council discussion <br />
