SUMMARY:  At its March 21, 2022 meeting the District Board decided to make several changes to its Committee meeting schedule and structure.  Changes to committee structure or charge require some modification to either District Meeting Rules or its Rules and Regulations.

 

The Board decided to eliminate the Carmel River Advisory Committee (CRAC) in favor of the continued regular meetings of the Carmel River Task Force, a much broader set of Carmel River stakeholders.  To effectuate the dissolution of CRAC, meeting Rule 7 must be edited as shown in Exhibit 34-A and Attachment 3 to the Meeting Rules (Exhibit 34-B) deleted in its entirety.  In addition, the proposed Ordinance No. 191 (Exhibit 34-C) to delete Rule 120 (Exhibit 34-D) should be given a first reading by the Board.

 

To eliminate the Rules and Regulations Committee, Rule 7 must be edited as shown in Exhibit 34-A and Attachment 5 to the Meeting Rules (Exhibit 34-E) deleted in its entirety.

 

To rename the Administrative Committee to the “Finance and Administration Committee”, Rule 7 must be edited as shown in Exhibit 34-A and Attachment 4 to the Meeting Rules change the name in five locations.

 

It is further recommended that Attachments 4, 6, 7, 9, and 10 be renumbered as Attachments 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 respectively.

 

The Charge for the Ordinance 152 Citizen’s Oversight Panel is recommended to be edited to reflect past practice as shown in Exhibit 34-F.

 

Changes in the meeting times do not require edits or changes to the District Meeting Rules because the committees “meet as required on the call of the committee chair, a majority of committee members, Board of Directors or by the General Manager” per the various committee charges.

 

RECOMMENDATION:  The General Manager recommends the Board adopt the changes to meeting rules described above and in the Exhibits, and to approve the first reading of Ordinance No. 191.
