MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Commission
FROM~~lcolm Bird, Interim City Manager
SUBJECT: RULES OF PROCEDURE- DELRAY BEACH CITY COMMISSION
!
,
I DATE: March 20, 1990
¡
i
I On August 4, 1989, the sitting Commission adopted rules of procedure, a
, copy of which is attached. These rules include general parliamentary
procedures, local rules, city board, committee, commission, and agenda
appointments. We would ask that you review these procedure and, if
appropriate, make changes for adoption at the organizational meeting on
¡ March 29th. Two key areas requiring immediate attention are .the
i meeting schedule and board, committee appointments.
; !
1. Meeting Schedule.
In the past, the regular meeting schedule outlined in the Rules of
Procedure have proven effective. However, the first meeting of
the new Commission, scheduled for April 10th, Passover.
Previously, the Commission has made adjustments to the meeting
schedule to avoid conflict with holidays and religious
observances. You may wish to consider April 11th as an alternate
date for holding a regular meeting.
Additionally, a proposed calendar listing budget workshop and
hearings is attached for your consideration. While no concrete
time frame exists for these meetings in your Local Rules, this
item falls within the proviso of "special meetings".
Likewise, the Commission should be aware that after Thanksgiving
and before Christmas, there are three consecutive regular
Commission meetings (fourth Tuesday in November¡ first and second
Tuesdays in December) which may conflict with the National League
of Cities Conference which is normally held the later part of
November or early December.
2 . Board Appointments.
According to rules currently in place, nominations for appointment
to advisory board are made using a rotation system in order of
seniority. Based upon the election results and the previous
Commissions decision to defer new board/committee appointments to
THE EFFORT ALWAYS MATTERS --TM ILL
you, Commissioner McCarty is the senior member.
If the provisions of the current rules are to be adhered to, then
she would make nominations for appointments to the Board of
Adjustment, Community Appearance Board, Board of Construction
Appeal, Code Enforcement Board¡ Public Employee Relations
Commission (PERC) , and Civil Service Board. The next round of
appointments would go to Commissioner Andrews, Mayor-elect Lynch,
Commissioner-elect Alperin and finally Commissioner-elect
Randolph.
However¡ the Commission may wish to waive the rotation system, to
allow those deferred appointments to be made by the incumbents
successor (ie. Mayor-elect Lynch would make the appointments
deferred by Mayor Campbell, etc.) and resume using the rotation
system for all future appointments.
3. Appointment of Commissioners to Local Advisory Boards.
Currently, the Mayor and Commission fill positions on several
local advisory boards. The Commission- elect will need to
determine which members will be designated to fill the vacancies
which occurred as result of the election. A list of those
advisory boards and incumbent is attached for your review and
discussion.
