REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: 12/15/2008 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: CS08-029 Analysis: Huntington Beach Municipal Code (H.B.M.C. Section 2.106.020) specifies that the composition of the 4th of July Board consist of between nine and fifteen members. There is currently one remaining member on the 4th of July Board. Adding the seven members listed above will bring the board to eight. The need for new board members was advertised on HBTV 3 and in local newspapers. Interviews of candidates were conducted with past board members, staff and council liaisons. The 4th of July Board has experienced significant turnover for the past several years. Due to the enormous work load required of individual board members, many members who come onto the board find that they are unable to provide the amount of time required to fully participate. In 2007, City Council revised the municipal code to allow for additional board members in an effort to spread the workload. This proved to be initially successful, however, many Board members dropped off after completing one or two years. In an effort to provide for continuity and restore the 4th of July Board to a more viable organization, the Community Services Department has hired two past board members Patricia Stier and Stacey Newton as part time employees. These two past Board members, who have carried a significant part of the work load during times when the Board membership was falling off, will work with the Special Events Coordinator to insure that the event runs smoothly for the Centennial year and that new Board members are not overworked so that the Board can be expanded to accommodate future event needs. Strategic Plan Goal: Appointing at -large community representatives to the 4th of July Board would meet Strategic Plan Goal E-1, increasing community involvement, dialogue, and outreach by educating residents about opportunities for involvement and assure that the community is well represented on this Council -approved board. Environmental Status: Not applicable.
