Title

Consideration and Possible Approval of Council's Review Committee Report and Recommendations on  Boards and Commissions Work Plans for Calendar Year 2024

Recommended Action

I move that Council thank all Board & Commission members for their dedication to public service and approve the 2024 Work Plans as submitted or amended from the following boards: Arts in Public Places Board, Transportation Board, Lodgers Tax Advisory Board, Planning and Zoning Commission, Personnel Board, Parks and Recreation Board, Library Board, LAC Health Council, Historic Preservation Advisory Board, and Environmental Sustainability Board; with the understanding that this approval does not represent formal Council budget approval of all projects, proposals, or potential recommendations listed in the Work Plans.

 

I further move that Council approve the continuation of B&C annual presentations to Council using the Calendar Year format and direct County Manager to notify the Board and Commission Chairpersons of this requirement and the approval of the 2024 Work Plans.

County Manager's Recommendation

The County Manager recommends that Council approve the motion as presented.

Board, Commission or Committee Recommendation

The three-member Council Work Plan Review Committee recommends that Council approve the motion as presented.

Body

Members of the Council Board & Commission Work Plan Review Committee are: Councilors Suzie Havemann, David Reagor, and Theresa Cull.

 

Excluding the Board of Public Utilities (BPU), the Council Committee reviewed a Work Plan for each Board and Commission. The BPU does not submit a work plan, per se, because it is a board established in the Los Alamos County Charter that includes County Council oversight via budgetary and other mechanisms.

 

The B&C Work Plans were reviewed individually, and comparatively where appropriate. All B&Cs have been notified of the committee's recommendations, questions, and requests.

 

The B&C Work Plan Review Committee wishes to thank all boards and commissions for their hard work and recommends that the following plans be approved by the Council as submitted:  Arts in Public Places Board, Transportation Board, Lodgers Tax Advisory Board, Planning and Zoning Commission, Personnel Board, Parks and Recreation Board, Library Board, LAC Health Council, Historic Preservation Advisory Board, and Environmental Sustainability Board

 

Copies of the Work Plans are attached to this agenda documentation.
