RESOLUTION 14-046

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF HOMER, ALASKA, AMENDING CHAPTER 2, SECTION 2.2(A) OF THE CITY OF HOMER PROPERTY MANAGEMENT POLICY AND PROCEDURES (LEASE POLICY) REGARDING COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP.

               WHEREAS, The City Council has been reviewing all City Boards, Commissions, Committees, and Task Forces to look for ways to reduce expenditures, redundancy, and overlapping responsibilities; and

               WHEREAS, The Lease Committee can be eliminated in its present form because other existing Commissions can advise the Council on Lease Policies and lease proposal evaluation, negotiation, and administration is more appropriately handled by the City Administration, consistent with the City Code; and

               WHEREAS, It is recommended that the membership of the Lease Committee be changed back to its previous form by eliminating public members and making it an Administrative Committee; and 

               WHEREAS, The reasons for abolishing the Lease Committee in its current form have been summarized in Memorandum 14-066; a copy of which is attached and incorporated herein.

               NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Homer City Council hereby finds that it is in the City’s interest to change the membership of the Lease Committee by eliminating public membership and returning the Committee to an Administrative Committee.

               BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Chapter 2, Section 2.2(A) is deleted in its entirety and replaced with:

The City Manager shall establish a Lease Committee that will at a minimum, consist of the Finance Director, the City Planner, and the Port and Harbor Director. The Lease Committee may consult with other department heads such as the Fire Chief, Police Chief and Public Works Director, the City Attorney, or outside professionals as needed and appropriate.  

        PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Homer City Council this 14th day of April, 2014.
