B CK ROUNDIJ TIFICATIoN:
The City Council discussed at their meeting on 25 November 2013 possible changes to the bylaws for
various advisory commissions regarding membership eligibility. The bylaws for each of the City's
advisory commission established in Section 3 of the City Code currently require that members be
resident property owners. Eligibilityfor all advisory commissions is determined by the City Council and
appointments made based on criteria and process at their discretion.
The consensus of the City Council at the 25 November 2 13 meeting was that the Heritage
Preservation Commission should allow for one person that is a non-resident, non- property
owner to serve based on that person having a demonstrated interest and expertise In historic
preservation.
There was not a consensus to change the bylaws for the Parks and Recreation Commission
aithough the idea of aIlowing an official with one of the athletic associations that the City
effectively partners with to provide for recreational programming to be appointed. Anofficial
under this policy could be a member of the board of the association or a person appointed by
that association as a liaison to the City and accepted by the City Council.
in The police Commission was discussed as part of the broader topic of advisory commission
eligibility. It is noted that the current bylaws limit membership on the Police Commission to
resident or business property owners and would exclude residents within rental housing. There
may be value in having the perspective of a resident in rental housing to be a member of the
Police Commission based on the City's existing housing stockr potential future development of
multiple family uses.
The Planning Commission bylaws are limited to resident property owners based on eligibilityto
male zoning applications being limited to property owners by Minnesota Statutes. No change
to the Planning Commission bylaws is proposed.
A draft ordinance amending the byiaws of the Parks and Recreation Commission, Police Commission and
HPC based on the considerations outlined above has been prepared by City staff for further discussion
by the City Council.
