Title
Approval of Council's Review Committee Report and Recommendations on FY21 Boards and Commissions Work Plans.
Recommended Action
I move that Council thank all Board & Commission members for their dedication to public service and approve the FY21 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 FY21 Work Plans.
County Manager's Recommendation
The County Manager recommends that Council approve the FY21 B&C Work Plan Review Committee Report as requested.
Board, Commission or Committee Recommendation
The 3-member Council Work Plan Review Committee recommends that Council approve the motion as presented.
Body
Members of the Council Board & Commission FY21 Work Plan Review Committee are: Councilors Pete Sheehey, James Robinson, and Katrina Martin.
Excluding the Board of Public Utilities (BPU) and the County Health Council (CHC), the Council Committee reviewed a FY21 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 CHC was just established in January and is still finalizing their work plan for FY21.
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.
The B&C FY21 Work Plans were reviewed individually, and comparatively where appropriate. All B&Cs have been notified of the committee's recommendations, questions, and requests.
The FY21 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, Community Development Advisory Board, Environmental Sustainability Board, Historic Preservation Advisory Board, Library Board, Lodgers' Tax Advisory Board, Planning and Zoning Commission, Parks and Recreation Board, Personnel Board, and the Transportation Board.
Copies of the FY21Work Plans are attached to this agenda documentation.
The Review Committee recommends that the boards and commissions continue with their annual presentations to Council using the existing format.
Alternatives
Council can vote not to approve/accept the FY21 B&C Work Plans;
Council can add additional recommendations/comments to any of the FY21 Work Plans;
Council can identify items from the FY21 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 FY21 budget.
