Subject: H-ITEM FOR MARCH 3, 2003 CITY COUNCIL MEETING - ;
FORMATION OF CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE TO REVIEW CITY y
BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
As part of the Council Workshop on February 21, the role of Council liaisons was
discussed. This discussion led to a broader discussion about the number of committees,
boards, commissions and task forces the city has. A desire was expressed by some
Council Members to form a Council Committee to study the issue and address the role
of the Council liaison as well as the possibility of combining some of the boards and
commissions. Both Council Members Houchen and Hardy expressed an interest in
being on such a committee. I offered to bring this issue forward as an H item for Council
action at our next Council Meeting.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
To approve the establishment of a Council Committee with members appointed by the
Mayor, to examine the role of Council liaisons in committees and to make a
recommendation to the entire Council regarding the number of committees, boards,
commissions and task forces currently in existence in the city.
The committee would be an ad hoc Council Committee, which would be disbanded
upon making its recommendations to the Council. p

CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE ON ANIMAL CARE SERVICES .- _
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
In October 2000, the City Council directed staff to prepare a pro -humane animal care service
feasibility study. The study is now complete, and because it was a feasibility study, I propose
that the City Council establish an ad -hoc committee to recommend an animal care service
strategy. I believe careful consideration of this issue is warranted given the uncertainty
surrounding the county animal care system and the fact the several north county cities are
considering withdrawing from the county system.
I would also propose that the committee consist of Mayor Pro-Tem Cook, City Council
Member Boardman, and myself. The committee should provide a recommendation to the
City Council by June 30, 2001.
City staff has informed me that an extension of the contract with the firm hired to prepare the
feasibility study will allow the committee to draw upon the consultant's expertise while it
evaluates this issue. Staff estimates that up to 50 hours of the consultant's time may be
''required to assist the committee. Based on this input, I recommend the City Council
appropriate $6,250 for a contract extension with Meyer & Allen Associates, Inc.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1. Create an ad -hoc City Council committee to make recommendations to the City
Council regarding animal care services by June 30, 2001;
2. Appoint Mayor Julien Houchen, Mayor Pro-Tem Cook, and City Council Member
Boardman to the committee; and
