COUNCIL ACTION STAFF REPORT .; For over a year the Ceme~ry Commission has been unable to achieve a guorum at its meetings. It was recommended that the commission be dissolved. Since the problem seems to be difficulty in appointing Cemetery Commissioners, the Legislative Review Committee has recommended that council members be allowed to appoint Cemetery Commissioners from the City at large, rather than having to appoint residents of ~heir wards thereby giving council members a larger pool to draw from. The proposed amendments to the municipal code excepts the Cemetery Commission from the requirement that each member must be and remain a resident of the ward of the nominating council member, and allows them to be nominated from the-City at large. 75.0264 - """" /~" -' 1 2 ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO AMENDING SECTIONS 2.17.040 AND 2.44.020 OF THE SAN BERNARDINO MUNICIPAL CODE TO 3 PROVIDE FOR EXCEPTIONS TO THE REQUIREMENTS FOR APPOINTMENT TO COMMIsSIONS SO THAT A MEMBER OF THE CEMETERY COMMISSION NEED NOT 4 RESIDE IN THE WARD OF HIS OR HER NOMINATING COUNCIL MEMBER. 5 6 7 8 ORDINANCE NO.
