Background Information
The City Commission at its regularly scheduled meeting of June 27, 2017, discussed the merits of adding alternate members to its advisory boards. The Commission discussed the benefit of having the maximum amount of citizen participation in the advisory boards as well as the ability of the City’s advisory board business to not be delayed for lack of a quorum. The Commission voted 4-0 in favor of directing the City Attorney to draft an ordinance amending the administrative code to allow for two alternates on all advisory boards and for the alternates to automatically convert to regular members when a seat becomes vacant.
The City Attorney drafted Ordinance 2017-30 and has approved it as to form and correctness.
