Regular City Council Meeting Monday,July 13, 2015 Page 31 Individual Commission Chapters Mayor Roe noted the need to correct each individual Chapter in reference to Chapter 201 to indicate"Chapter,"rather than"Section" in all references throughout the individual Chapters. Mayor Roe also suggested finding a better way to address that initial reference would be in Section 202.01: Establishment and Membership: by adding language such as (e.g. Chapter 202 Planning Com- mission): "A City Planning Commission for the City is hereby established, [which shall be subject to Chapter 201 of this code J..."and then striking those redline areas from individual chapters. Chapter 205 Human Rights Commission Councilmember Etten questioned if"Section 205.01: Establishment and Member- ship"was the area to add language to appoint one new commissioner; with Mayor Roe responding that added specificity. Councilmember Laliberte noted some commission language included appoint- ment of youth commissioners, and asked if that specificity was desired across the board. Mayor Roe noted that Chapter 201 talked about youth commissioners for all commissions. Councilmember McGehee opined it was dependent on the interest of students. Discussion ensued, with the consensus to strike the entire sentence referencing youth commissioners from Chapters 204 (Parks & Recreation), 205 (HRC), and 209 (CEC), as that language was addressed in Chapter 201, Section 03.B. Mayor Roe noted that the language stated, "may," and therefore was not a man- date for the City Council to do so unless appropriate and applicable. Based on the Council discussion, Mayor Roe directed staff to bring back another draft, and after discussion on the anticipated meeting to review that draft, consen- sus was for staff to have it available at the August 10, 2015 meeting. e. Twin Lakes Infrastructure TIF Bonding Discussion As detailed in the RCA, City Manager Trudgeon noted mandatory timing until September 3, 2015 for the City to spend tax increment financing (TIF) dollars in Twin Lakes District 17 at which time any future expenditures will be significantly impacted, creating the need to spend funds by that date or lose the ability to use the majority of funds going forward. Mr. Trudgeon advised that, if the City pur- sues the bonding process, the funds would qualify as spent. Given the tight timeframe, Mr. Trudgeon noted staff's intent to bring this forward at the next meeting for City Council consideration for initiating the process of issuing bonds; and given the tight timeframe, it would be necessary to take action one way or an- other at that meeting to meet bond issue requirements.
