Ordinance # / Resolution #: Ordinance 2024-1926
Contact Person / Sponsor: Dennis Marstall / Administration and Ginny Merck-Dupont / County Attorney
Department: Attorney
Date Requested to be on Agenda: 8/26/2024
Council Action Requested:

Review and adopt the ordinance providing for "general provisions" to apply to all Boards and Committees created by County Council.

 

 



Strategic Plan Focus Area Alignment:

Points to Consider:

The County currently does not have any "general provisions" dealing with all appointed Boards, Committees and Commissions; however, the County Council Rules of Procedures do apply to all Board and Commision where a majority of the membership is appointed by County Council.

 

Some Boards and Commissions may statutorily require that they adopt their own Rules of Procedure (i.e. Board of Zoning Appeals).

 

County Administration is recommending the inclusion of "general provisions" for all Boards and Committees to bring clarity and specificity and address uniformity to the following:

 

  • General Powers and Duties
  • Residency
  • Length of Tems
  • Attendance
  • Conduct
  • Service and Removal
  • Training
  • Filings with the Clerk to Council
  • Disestablishment


Funding and Liability Factors:

There are no funding and/or liability factors regarding changes to general changes for procedures for Boards and Commissions.



Recommendation:

Approve the Ordinance.
