Background: Several months ago, City Clerk Rachel Clark noted that several of the City's boards and commissions had no members, and were no longer active. It was suggested that some of these inactive boards and commissions should be formally eliminated from the City's Municipal Code, in order to reflect current practice. This matter was referred to the Legislative Review Committee for further analysis. On September 8, 2004, the Committee discussed the matter, and recommended that the Central City Advisory Board, Cemetery Commission, Commission for Disabled Persons, Central City Parking Place Commission, and Main Street Advisory Board be abolished for the following reasons: ♦ The Central City Advisory Board's main role was to provide recommendations to the Mayor and Council concerning the use of Area Tax revenues derived from downtown businesses. That tax has since been eliminated. ♦ The Cemetery Commission has been inactive for approximately 15 years. The Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Department has assumed responsibility for Pioneer Cemetery, so the Parks and Recreation Commission and Senior Affairs Commission may discuss cemetery issues as needed. ♦ The Commission for Disabled Persons has been inactive for 7 years. Its functions are necessary, but they can be handled by the Handicap Accessibility Appeals Board through a resolution. ♦ The Central City Parking Place Commission has been inactive for many years. The parking district bonds have been paid off, and the parking district tax has been eliminated. The Main Street Advisory Board has been inactive since the Main Street program was assumed by the Economic Development Agency. On September 20, 2004, the Mayor and Council referred this item back to LRC for further discussion. At the October 5 LRC meeting, staff recommended that the Central City Parking Place Commission be preserved since a number of issues related to downtown parking have recently arisen, and will need to be discussed in the coming months. The Committee agreed and recommended that the ordinance be referred back to the Mayor and Council,with a modification to retain that commission. Financial Impact: There is no direct financial impact as a result of this action. Streamlining boards and commissions is likely to result in savings in potential staff time that would be associated with staffing and supporting these entities. Recommendation: That said ordinance be laid over for final adoption.
