Council adopts ordinance setting Park Commission size and makes liaisons voting members
Summary
Council adopted ordinance 20251015-01 to set the Park Commission at seven members and then moved that council liaisons to Park and Planning Commissions be voting members; the ordinance and the liaison change passed after debate about double voting.
Staff introduced ordinance 20251015-01 to define the Park Commission at seven members and to allow the council liaison to be a voting member. The presenter said the change would align Park Commission language with other boards and noted the student liaison historically would no longer be a voting member.
Council debated whether a liaison should vote (some members said a liaison may have two votes when the commission then goes to council). After discussion the council adopted the ordinance; a follow-up motion to make the liaisons to the park and planning commissions voting members passed 4–1.
