I1. DISCUSSION OF CITY COUNCIL COMMISSION TERMS AND SCHEDULING OF COMMISSION
MEETINGS {Continued from March 24, 1993) Staff report presented by Jack Lam, City Manager. (0701-
01 COMMISSION)
Mayor Stout stated this has been discussed previously by the Council and felt a decision should be made tonighL
City Council Minutes

Page 9
Councilmember Buquet stated that the Commissions were developed to assist the Council with specific issues. He
felt the Commission structure should be streamlined and a better allocation of staffs resources towards priorities. He
felt the Environmental Management Commission's duties should go to the Planning Commission, along with the
Historic Preservation Commission's duties going to the Planning Commission. He felt the Public Safety
Commission could be eliminated and that a Council subcommittee of two members take on any safety issues that
come up as it use to be. He felt the Planning Commission should stay its current size and continue with their
current functions including the responsibilities of the Historic Preservation Commission. He suggested the Park and
Recreation Commission and the Community Foundation remain as now structured. He stated he did not intend for
the area of historic preservation to stop, but it would just be a matter of scaling down by it being given to the
Planning Commission.
Councilmember Wiiliams stated some of the staff time noted in the study of Commission time spent will still be
used by the Council because of taking on some of the Commission duties; however, she did feel that there will be a
significant savings made in staff time spent. She hoped that this scaling down will bring out people who are
interested to present their ideas on specific issues. She felt some people may have felt in the past that if a
Commission is taking care of something, they did not need to get involved by sharing their ideas.
Councilmembr Buquet stated he felt the Park and Recreation Commission should remain as is with their meeting
frequency for now, but for that Council Subcommittee to keep an eye on it.
Councilmember Williams felt if the Park and Recreation Commission's workload lessened, they should cut down
their meetings to bi-monthly. She added she did not think the Community Foundation should even be considered
with this item since they were not a regular Commission.
Councilmember Gutierrez stated he concurred with just about everything Councilmember Buquet stated. He felt
public access was a very important feature. He felt in the interest of trying to save $500,000.00, that consolidation
could occur with some of the Commissions.
Councilmember Alexander stated he disagreed with the Historic Preservation Commission recommendation by
Councilmember Buquet and felt they should be kept as a Committee status and meet on an as-needed basis. He
agreed that the Park and Recreation Commission should be kept as is for now.
Mayor Stout stated that it was previously discussed at another meeting that all Commission positions be advertised
and go through the interview process. He felt the Planning Commission should remain intact. He felt the
Environmental Management Commission's responsibilities should be given to the Planning Commission. He felt
the Historic Preservation Commission was important to keep and felt that the Planning Commissioners could act as
the Historic Preservation Commission also. He stated the Public Safety Commission should be called a committee
and meet as needed when recommendations are needed to go to the Council. He did not agree that all the City staff
that go to the Commission meetings were needed. He stated he agreed with Councilmember Gutierrez that the cost
savings was important, but did not want to cut the public off on safety issues either. He stated he would go along
with Councilmember Buquet's recommendation of the City Council subcommittee handling safety matters as long
as a public hearing process could occur for public workshops.
Councilmember Buquet felt this would be a more flexible process doing it this way.
Councilmember Gutierrez concurred.
Councilmember Buquet felt that as demands grew, this s.~'ucture could change.
Mayor Stout commented on Commissioner Chitiea's absence from the Planning Commission meetings and
commented that it was due to surgery she had.

Mayor Stout summarized by stating that the Historical Commission would be maintained by cross-designation with
the Planning Commission, that the formal inclusion in the plan that the Council Subcommittee conduct formal
hearings when necessary for public safety issues, that all positions be reopened and readvertised, with the merging of
the Environmental Management Commission and the Planning Commission.
Councilmember Buquet clarified that the environmental issues would be assigned to the Planning Commission and
that the Planning Commission would wear the hat of the Historical Preservation Commission just like the Council
acts as the Redevelopment Agency and the Fire Board.
Andrew Arczynski, Assistant City Attorney, stated they would draft the appropriate amendments to correspond with
the Council's requests.
Jack Lam, City Manager, asked for an effective date this should all happen.
Councilmember Buquet suggested this come back at the next meeting for the Council to consider. He felt staff
should go back and pull all of this together to move it forward as quickly as possible with the intent to suspend
meetings of the current Environmental Management, Public Safety and Historic Preservation Commissions by July
1, 1993.
MOTION: Moved by Buquet, seconded by Gutierrez to approve the suggestions of Mayor Stout and Councilmember
Buquet. Motion carried unanimously, 5-0.
