Parks and Recreation Board ordinance to be updated; Council to nominate board members by July 1
Summary
Parks & Recreation staff said they will propose an updated ordinance to reframe the board as advisory, set staggered terms for seven members, and recommend candidates for appointment in time for July 1 term starts.
Barrett Albright of Parks and Recreation told the Council the department is preparing revisions to the Parks and Recreation Board ordinance that will emphasize the board’s advisory role and clarify appointment and term structure.
Albright said the updated ordinance will create a seven‑member board with staggered terms so that some members serve one, two and three‑year terms to create rotating membership. He said appointments are made by City Council and staff will provide suggestions for potential board members; under current ordinance terms begin July 1 so staff intends to have the ordinance in place and members assigned by that date.
Councilmember questions focused on term lengths and the staff explanation confirmed three‑year terms with staggered assignments established by council at appointment time. Albright said detailed ordinance language and candidate suggestions will be provided to Council in the coming months for formal action.
The presentation was informational; no formal action was taken at the work session.
