City staff presented a draft ordinance revision consisting mostly of housekeeping <br />items as there were inconsistencies among the organization of the various commissions <br />outlined in the ordinance. New items noted and discussed with City Council included: <br />1. Bylaws would now be required by each board to be reviewed and approved annually. <br />a. The Clerk's office would supply a template that can be used by each board. <br />b. Each Commission can set their schedules and certain items without needing an <br />ordinance amendment. <br />2. Information that applied to every board was removed from individual sections and <br />added to its own general section. <br />3. Sections are reorganized so all commissions follow the same section headings. <br />4. Clarification on reporting requirements to the City Council for all the boards. <br />Article V, Division 5 references our Public Utilities Commission. On request of the city staff, <br />ERMU staff have reviewed Division 5 and recommend the redlined changes noted on the <br />attached draft ordinance. <br />Attached documents provide only the relevant portion of the code. <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />• City Code -Article V, Division 5 —Public Utilities Commission - Redlines <br />• City Code -Article V, Division 5 —Public Utilities Commission -Clean Copy <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />57 <br />
