HARC sets March deadline for input, aims to approve annual report by April
Summary
The commission agreed to recirculate the annual narrative and PowerPoint, asked commissioners to submit recommended changes to staff by March, and tasked a small group to harmonize inputs so the commission can sign off by the April meeting.
Commission leadership told members they will recirculate two documents for the commission’s annual report and reauthorization package: a narrative transmittal and a PowerPoint presentation that will be used in the May City Council presentation. Commissioners were asked to submit comments and recommended changes in time for a consolidated draft to be presented at the April meeting for approval.
Jerry, chair, framed the timeline: “Let's think about this in terms of presentation happening in May. So no later than our April meeting, we will have to have stamped our approval on the report and the recommendations.” He asked commissioners to forward comments to Adrian with copies to Steven and the chair; Bob, Steven and the chair will harmonize inputs and return a consolidated draft.
Specifics
- Documents to be recirculated: narrative report and PowerPoint presentation. The narrative should include a transmittal letter from co‑chairs and a listing of current members and representation.
- Composition questions: Commissioners discussed staggering terms to avoid simultaneous expirations and proposed language that would allow a council‑allocated seat to be filled by a non‑council appointee if the council seat is vacant.
- Timeline: Commissioners requested the draft to be circulated immediately; the working group aims to return a consolidated version by March or no later than the April meeting so commissioners can formally sign off before the May council presentation.
Follow up and assignment
Adrian will recirculate the current drafts of both documents. Commissioners are to submit recommendations and suggested policy or structural items; Steven, Bob and the chair will try to harmonize those inputs into a consolidated narrative and PowerPoint.
