Has There Been Previous Council Decision on This:
Not for this two years cycle; however, these appointments are typically made biennially following a Council election.
Options and Alternatives:
- The Council could choose to revisit its voluntary memberships on some of the agency boards and determine whether or not it wishes to continue with any or all of them.
- The Council could expand the list of voluntary entities that various Councilmembers may wish to serve on.
- The Council could table the action to allow time for further discussion.
There are no consequences to any of the alternatives.
Background/History:
Councilmember appointments to community boards and commissions are typically made following a General Election after new Councilmembers have been elected and sworn into office.
Key Considerations:
Councilmember partnerships through participation on various community boards and commissions provide important historical Council, agency, and community perspectives and important links in the communication process among the City, Council, Coconino County, regional partners, and the community.
Expanded Financial Considerations:
Community boards and commissions provide greater public participation and input, promoting increased communication among regional partners.
Community Benefits and Considerations:
All members of the City Council are elected by the voters of Flagstaff. Because these are Council appointments chosen among the Councilmembers, there is no other community involvement.
Community Involvement:
