SUBJECT/ACTION: ADOPTION OF BOARD RULES OF
PARLIAMENTARY PROCEDURE
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt, by motion, Robert's Rules of Order as the Oversight Board's rules of
parliamentary procedure.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The Oversight Board to the Successor Agency to the dissolved Huntington
Beach Redevelopment Agency has been appointed pursuant to Health and
Safety Code Section 34179.
In addition to the Oversight Board's required compliance with the Ralph M.
Brown Act, staff is recommending the board, by minute motion, adopt Robert's
Rules of Order as the governing parliamentary procedure for the Oversight
Board. Although staff expects the Oversight Board to operate in a relatively
informal manner, parliamentary rules are appropriate to guide the making of
motions, taking votes and other Board procedures. For ease and simplicity, staff
is recommending the Board refer to Robert's Rules for its parliamentary
procedure.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
The Oversight Board may desire to adopt an alternative form of parliamentary
procedure.
Oversight Board of the Huntington Beach Successor Agency
to the Redevelopment Agency
MEETING DATE: March 26, 2012
SUBJECT/ACTION: APPROVE REGULAR MEETING SCHEDULE
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Establish by minute order the regular meeting schedule for Oversight Board
meetings on the second Monday of April, and on the second Monday of October
of each year, at 4:30 p.m. at Huntington Beach City Hall.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The Redevelopment Dissolution Act, AB 1x26, signed by the Governor in June
2011, was upheld by the California Supreme Court on December 29, 2011. The
court set the date of February 1, 2012, for dissolution of all California
redevelopment agencies. The City of Huntington Beach has elected to serve as
the Successor Agency to the dissolved Huntington Beach Redevelopment
Agency.
The Dissolution Act requires that each successor agency have an Oversight
Board composed of seven members appointed by specific governmental
agencies.
The Oversight board is subject to the Ralph M. Brown Act, California Public
Records Act, and the Political Reform Act. For the Oversight Board to operate in
accordance with the Brown Act, including public noticing requirements, it will
need to establish a regular meeting schedule. Meetings are to be held with the
City of Huntington Beach.
Therefore, staff is recommending that regular meetings of the Oversight Board
be held on the second Monday of April, and on the second Monday of October of
each year, at 4:30 p.m. The recommended meeting location is the City of
Huntington Beach, City Hall, California.
