Council creates separate Golf Course Commission, adds Trails to new Parks commission
Summary
Council directed staff to draft and implement an ordinance splitting the former golf/parks commission into a standalone Golf Course Commission and a Parks, Aquatics, Recreation and Trails commission; the ordinance will take effect March 1 to allow recruitment.
The Kingman City Council voted to create a separate Golf Course Commission and a Parks, Aquatics, Recreation and Trails (PART) Commission by directing staff to prepare an ordinance to implement the change.
Council directed staff to draft language that separates the golf-related commission functions from parks and recreation, adds trails to the parks commission charge and aligns the new commissions’ formatting and authorities with existing city commissions. A staff member said the ordinance will take effect 30 days after passage, and the city set an effective date of March 1 to permit recruitment and an initial meeting schedule to be set by resolution.
Council discussion included a reminder from a council member that any commission recommendations that would require new spending should identify funding sources; the councilor urged the new commission to consider revenue options such as user fees to pay for improvements.
Ending: The council approved the direction and staff said they will return with recruitment materials and a resolution to set meeting dates and times.
