Council to place resolution dissolving Civic Engagement Program on consent
Summary
Staff proposed repealing Resolution 30‑14 to formally dissolve the Civic Engagement Program, saying it has been largely inactive since December 2021 and many functions have been absorbed by a paid boards-and-commissions staffer; staff requested the item be placed on the Sept. 8 consent agenda.
Blanccia Lindsey, the city’s boards and commissions program administrator, presented a resolution to repeal Resolution 30‑14 and dissolve the Civic Engagement Program, which she said was created in March 2014 and has been inactive since December 2021. "When the program was established in March 2014, there was not a boards and commissions program administrator," she said, adding that many program functions have since been absorbed by paid staff. Lindsey said the city met with stakeholders and recommended dissolution as an administrative step.
Council members asked whether citizens would lose opportunities to observe and learn about boards; Lindsey said citizens remain welcome to attend board and commission meetings and can contact her office or the website to apply. Council members agreed to place the resolution on the Sept. 8 regular‑meeting consent agenda.
