Informational update to the Parks and Recreation Commission. <br />BACKGROUND <br />The second term for Commissioner Abruzzese, the first term for Commissioner Hipp, and the <br />one-year term of Commissioner DeLong Miller are expiring December 31, 2023. Commissioner <br />Hipp and Commissioner DeLong Miller have requested to be reappointed. Commissioner <br />Abruzzese has decided to not seek reappointment. <br />With the above changes, there will be one open seat for a three-year term on the Parks and <br />Recreation Commission. <br />Currently, there have not been any applications received for the Commission, but there have <br />been two applications received for the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission will <br />likely only have one seat available so staff will be discussing with the applicants if they are <br />interested in the Parks and Recreation Commission during the interview process. <br />After the interviews have been completed, the interview committee will make a recommendation <br />to the City Council for appointments that will be acted on at the December 20, 2023, City <br />Council meeting. Additionally, the Parks & Recreation Commission Ordinance calls for the <br />Mayor to make a recommendation for the Parks & Recreation Commission Chair. The Mayor <br />will make that recommendation at that December meeting as well, with the Council making the <br />actual appointment. The Commission will select a Vice-Chair at the first meeting in January. <br />TIMELINE <br />Timeline for 2024 Appointments Process: <br />December 4 – December 8, 2023 Interview with new applicants with Committee* <br />December 15, 2023 Staff report to City Council with recommendations for <br />Commission appointments <br />December 20, 2023 City Council meeting for official Commissioner <br />appointments and appointment of Commissioner Chair <br />by City Council <br />January 4, 2024 Parks & Recreation Commission appoints a Vice-Chair
