City Manager’s Report, Update on Restructuring Boards & Commissions (Slides 1-7 of this powerpoint presentation) This is a proposal to replace the existing system of twenty City Advisory Boards with four new ones. The report describes a plan to convene a working group made up of community members, which will start meeting sometime in April. City Council will also take this matter up at their May 10 worksession, where they will potentially approve a “pilot” project. We would like to know more about the proposed “pilot” that City Council might approve in early May, and why this process is slated to move forward before the community working group has had a chance to work together on possible refinements to the plan. We are concerned that there appears to be pressure to move this radical restructuring forward quickly, and that this won’t allow for important community input.
