Item No. 15 TO: Mayor, Mayor Pro -Tem & City Council Grayson Path, City Manager FROM: Janice Ellis, City Clerk SUBJECT: PROCEDURES FOR APPOINTMENT OF BOARD & COMMISSION MEMBERS DATE: June 14, 2021 BACKGROUND: Pursuant to policies and procedures, the Paris City Council appoints members of the Boards and Commission at their second meeting in June. STATUS OF ISSUE: On June 8, 2020, City Council approved a procedure to select members to the Boards and Commissions. I have attached to this memo a list similar to those procedures, and a sample ballot for reference. Prior to June of 2020, the City Council made appointments by receiving nominations, and voting on the individuals. We are asking that City Council establish a procedure by which they will make appointments at the June 28 City Council meeting. There are two options as listed below: j tion 1: Follow the attached procedures for the appointment of Boards and Commissions. O tO�r,ion 2: Open the floor, take nominations for appointments and vote on the individuals. BUDGET: This is a budget neutral item. RECOMMENDATION: City staff recommends continuing with Option 1, as it proved to be a successful procedure.
