Title
Consideration and Possible Approval of Council's Work Plan Review Working Group Report and Recommendations on the Boards and Commission Work Plans for Calendar Year 2025
Recommended Action
I move that Council thank all Boards and Commission members for their dedication to public service and approve the 2025 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 and direct the County Manager to notify the Boards and Commission Chairs of this requirement and the approval of the 2025 Work Plans.
County Manager's Recommendation
The County Manager recommends that Council approve the motion as presented.
Board, Commission or Committee Recommendation
The Council Work Plan Review Working Group recommends that Council approve the motion as presented.
Body
Members of the Council Board & Commission Work Plan Review Working Group are: Councilors Theresa Cull, David Reagor, and Randall Ryti.
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 Working Group wishes to thank all boards and commission 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.
