Currentlythere are five members with two open <br />seats. One seat has been vacant since November 2009 while the other seat has been vacant since February <br />2010.Over the years it has been difficult keeping this commission full with seven members despite <br />utilizing various advertising sources and seeking members through other sources such as the Oliver <br />Kelley Farm and the I~storical Society. <br />Staff is proposing to reduce the commission to five members due to the difficulty in keeping the seats <br />filled. Staff liaison Rebecca Haug discussed this issue with the HPC and theywere amendable to moving <br />forward with the change. <br />State Statue X471.193 states that members must reside in the political subdivision regulated by the <br />ordinance establishing the commission. Therefore, the ordinance has been updated to complywith state <br />law. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />^ Roster of current HPC members <br />^ Ordinance <br />ACtlon Motion by Second by Vote <br />Follow Up <br />N:\Public Bodies\City Council\Council RCA\Boazds\2010\HPC Reduction.doc <br />
