Title
Approval of Council's Review Committee Report and Recommendations on FY20 Board and Commission Work Plans.
Recommended Action
I move that Council thank all Board & Commission members for their dedication to public service and approve the FY20 Work Plans as submitted or amended from the following boards: Arts in Public Places Board, Community Development Advisory Board, Environmental Sustainability Board, Historic Preservation Advisory Board, Library Board, Lodgers' Tax Advisory Board, Parks and Recreation Board, Personnel Board, Planning and Zoning Commission, and the Transportation 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 current format and direct staff to notify the Board and Commission Chairpersons of this requirement and the approval of the FY20 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 B&C Work Plan Review Committee recommends that Council approve the motion as presented.
Body
Members of the Council Board & Commission FY20 Work Plan Review Committee are: Councilors Antonio Maggiore, Randall Ryti, and Katrina Schmidt.
The Council Committee reviewed the FY20 Work Plan for each Board and Commission, individually and comparatively where appropriate. Attachment A contains the resulting committee report. The Utilities Board 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. Also, other boards that have a specifically defined area of responsibility such as the Valuation Protests Board and the Labor Management Relations Board are not asked to prepare work plans. All B&Cs have been notified of the committee's recommendations, questions, and requests and revisions were incorporated into the draft work plans (Attachments B-K).
The FY20 B&C Work Plan Review Committee wishes to thank all boards and commissions for their hard work in preparation of these work plans.
The Review Committee did not recommend any revisions to the work plan template for FY20.
The Review Committee recommends that the boards and commissions continue with their annual presentations to Council using the existing format.
Alternatives
Council could not approve/accept the FY20 B&C Work Plans;
Council could add additional recommendations/comments to any of the FY20 Work Plans;
Council could identify items from the FY20 Work Plans that warrant additional Council discussion.
Fiscal and Staff Impact/Planned Item
None noted. Each board or commission was reminded during the work plan preparation phase that any budget impact resulting from items in their work plan should be included in the appropriate departmental budget. County support of boards and commissions is included in the FY20 budget.
