a role in some of the recent public comment and council discussions about old policies which are
out of date and need to be modernized.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council consider discontinuing, the Park and Recreation Commission
for a period of 2 years. The recommended action will streamline city processes, reduce costs,
improve efficiency and provide more time for existing staff to focus on Community Services
policies, plans, projects, programs and operations. At the end of that time, a follow-up report
would be brought back to the City Council for review and further discussion. The suggested action
could be accomplished by not filling the current three vacancies and thanking and excusing the
two remaining commissioners. If the City Council desired to go this direction, staff would
recommend keeping Chapter 2.52 so that the Park and Recreation Commission could be brought
back in the future, if so desired. There is precedent for such a decision as the City Council has
in the past discontinued the Public Safety Commission and combined the Historical Preservation
Commission with the Planning Commission.
With respect to the Trails Advisory, with a minor modification, the membership could go from 6 to
3 members, by eliminating the 2 Park and Recreation Commissioners, reducing by 1 the Planning
Commission members, and having instead a 3-person committee consisting of 1 Planning
Commissioner and 1 Equestrian Community member and 1 Bicycle Community member. Staff
would recommend also keeping the Senior Advisory and Sports Advisory Committee's; these are
and would continue to be regularly attended by staff and the minutes, recommendations and
discussion from each could go direct to the entire City Council instead of to the Park and
Recreation Commission. Similarly, the Park and Recreation Commission appointment to the
Public Art Committee can be replaced with another public member to ensure the membership
stays at five (5) members. If the Park and Recreation Commission is discontinued for a period of
2 years, the City Council Community Services Subcommittee could meet as needed to address
community services related issues and provide recommendations for action directly to the City
Council. Inasmuch as this is a Brown Act Subcommittee, their meetings are open to the public
and minutes are kept of all meetings.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Discontinuing the Park and Recreation Commission would result in a minimum saving of 400
hours per year in staff time plus additional administrative costs as well as significant
improvements in workload and process for the Community Services Department.
COUNCIL GOAL($) ADDRESSED:
Begin the multi-year process of revising and/or implementing major City documents and systems.
The aforementioned recommendation relates to revising and streamlining current City processes
to increase efficiency and reduce costs.
