Changes the student member position from a 2-year term to a 1-year term, and clarifies that the Chairperson and Vice Chairperson shall be elected annually at the first regular meeting following July 1.
2) Removing § 11.06.030 “Compensation of Members” in its entirety.
3) Replacing § 11.06.050 “Officers” with “Quorum” and adds that five members of the board shall constitute a quorum and be necessary for the transaction of business.
4) Revising § 11.06.070 “Powers and Duties” changing the meeting frequency and streamlining the powers and duties of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board as follows:
