The City currently has six commissions, all <br /> established and guided by a specific Chapter of the Mounds View Municipal <br /> Code. They are: the Police Civil Service Commission (Chapter 30) , the <br /> Human Rights Commission (Chapter 31) , the Planning Commission (Chapter 32) , <br /> the Environmental Quality Commission (Chapter 33) , the Parks and Recreation <br /> Commission (Chapter 34) , and the Festivities Commission (Chapter 35) . It <br /> has been suggested that language be added to the respective Chapters of the <br /> City Code to prohibit concurrent commission membership. <br /> The Police Civil service Commission is the only commission with language <br /> that prohibits concurrent commission membership. Section 30. 02 states, "No <br /> commissioner shall, during the term of his membership in said body, hold <br /> any other office or employment under the City, the subdivision thereof, <br /> except the office of notary public or member of a civil service commission <br /> for firemen or other municipal personnel. " <br /> Language for the other Chapters could read, "no member of a City board or <br /> commission shall serve concurrently on another City board or commission. " <br /> (VALlet4 <br /> //:044 <br /> Tim Cruikshank, Asst. to City Admin. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: <br /> Direction is requested on whether to change the city code by ordinances for <br /> the respective Chapters of the Municipal Code so as to prohibit concurrent <br /> membership on more than one City board or commission. <br />
