Title
Approve 2023 Board and Commission Annual Work Plans
Report
DISCUSSION
Council appointed boards and commissions have developed proposed annual work plans for calendar year 2023. These work plans are submitted annually for Council approval. Work plans identify policy issues the board/commission will be acting on during the year.
2023 work plans (Attachments 1 through 8) also list:
* Board and Commission meeting dates;
* Routine and special assignments specific to each board or commission;
* Continuing Study Issues; and
* Annual review of policies and reports.
New study issues, ranked by Council at the February 16, 2023 Study Issues and Budget Proposals Workshop, will be added to the board and commission work plans. Updated work plans are provided to the board/commission as an "Information Only" item.
The Personnel Board typically addresses appeals under specific duties instead of addressing policy issues. This Board does not operate under an Annual Work Plan.
At their November 29, 2022 meeting, City Council dissolved the Board of Building Code Appeals. City Council will serve as the Local Appeals Board as set forth in the California Building Code Section 1.8.8.1. At the same meeting, City Council created a Human Relations Commission. The Commission's Work Plan will be submitted for Council's review after the Commission is constituted. The Council Subcommittee on Boards and Commissions will draft an initial set of Work Plan items.
