Item No: 07B <br />Meeting Date: November 28, 2016 <br />Type of Business: CB <br />Administrator Review : ____ <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br /> To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br /> From: Desaree Crane, Assistant City Administrator <br /> <br /> Item Title/Subject: First Reading of Ordinance 929, an Ordinance Amending <br />Chapter 405 of the Mounds View City Code to Decrease the <br />Membership of the Parks, Recreation and Forestry <br />Commission from Nine to Seven Members <br /> <br />REVISED AS OF 11/28/2016 AT 4:00 P.M. <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />In 2013, the City Council passed Ordinance 877 to increase the members from seven to nine <br />on the Parks, Recreation and Forestry Commission. This was also recommended by the <br />Parks, Recreation and Forestry Commission. <br /> <br />At the October 27, 2016 Parks, Recreation and Forestry Commission Meeting, the <br />Commission requested a code amendment to decrease the number of members from nine to <br />seven members. This is due to the challenges of filling vacant positions on the Commission. <br /> <br /> <br />Discussion: <br /> <br /> Attached is Ordinance 929, which amends Section 405.02 of the Mounds View City Code to <br />allow seven members to be appointed to the Parks, Recreation and Forestry Commission. <br />This is due to the challenges of filling vacant positions on the Commission. Changes to this <br />section are highlighted in red and blue. <br /> <br /> <br />405.02: MEMBERSHIP; OATH; COMPENSATION: <br /> <br />Subd. 1. Appointment of Members: The Commission shall consist of nine (9) seven (7) <br />members appointed by the City Council and based on the recommendation of the <br />Parks and Recreation Commission, from the applications submitted.
