The <br />purpose of such a referral is to assist the Council in gathering all pertinent facts. The request <br />will be referred to the commission in writing by the Mayor and will include a specific time <br />period to complete the study. <br />The Council would request a written report from each commission with regard to each such <br />referral. The report should set forth all the pertinent facts and detailed recommendations <br />from the commission. The report should be submitted to the City Clerk the Wednesday <br />before the Council meeting so that it may be included on the agenda. <br />Any time a commission report comes before the Council, one representative of the <br />commission should be present to make a presentation and answer questions. In the event <br />there is a difference of opinion on the commission, a minority report written by the <br />commission may be presented in the same manner. <br />Commission Requests to Council <br />Any commission request or recommendation for Council action should be communicated <br />by letter from the Chair to the Mayor, giving a full explanation of the background of the <br />matter. Along with the letter, the commission should submit or refer to the pertinent portion <br />of its minutes on the subject. <br />The letter to the Mayor should be delivered to the City Clerk on the Wednesday before the <br />Council meeting. A presentation for commission should be made by a representative from <br />the commission. A minority report may also be presented. <br />S:~Public Bodies~Boards~Board and Commission Handbook~New Board and Commission Folder~Appointment <br />PolicyADOPTEDREV l.doc <br />
