City of <br />Elk - <br />River <br />To <br />City Council <br />Meeting Date <br />March 18, 2024 <br />Request for Action <br />Item Number <br />10.4 <br />Prepared By <br />Cal Portner, City Administrator <br />Item Description Reviewed by: <br />Parks and Recreation Commission Ordinance and Cal Portner <br />Conflict of Interest in Multipurpose Facility Advisory Joe Stremcha <br />Commission Ordinance Tina Allard <br />Action Requested <br />Receive information and provide staff direction. <br />Background/Discussion <br />Staff has reviewed ordinances for commissions and boards and attempted to simplify and improve the <br />consistency of each commission ordinance that enables the commission and directs their duties. One result is <br />operational bylaws, the basic meeting procedure and schedule, which have been removed from the ordinance <br />and added to a new template for each commission to set and be approved by the council. This will allow for <br />schedule changes that don't require an ordinance amendment. <br />The City Council reviewed these changes at their last regular meeting work session. At the time, we were <br />missing the Park and Recreation Commission as we wanted the commission to review their assigned duties <br />and ensure they were still applicable. The Park and Recreation Commission ordinance was last amended in <br />1982. The commission did not meet last month due to a lack of quorum. The commission did meet on March <br />13 and recommends several updates to the ordinance. <br />Secondly, Mayor Dietz inquired regarding our Conflict of Interest Ordinance and the setting of fees by the <br />Multipurpose Facility Advisory Commission. The question was posed to the city attorney for direction. <br />Financial Impact <br />N/A <br />Mission/Policy/Goal <br />Attachments <br />I. Park Rec Ordinance Redline <br />2.
