MEMORANDUM 09-72

 

TO:                   HOMER CITY COUNCIL AND WALT WREDE, CITY MANAGER

 

FROM:              PORT & HARBOR ADVISORY COMMISSION

 

DATE:              MAY 1, 2009

 

RE:                   PORT & HARBOR ADVISORY COMMISSION BYLAW CHANGES

 

Background

 

The Port & Harbor Advisory Commission reviewed several bylaw changes at their February 25, 2009 meeting (approved, excerpted minutes attached) and voted at their April 22, 2009 meeting (unapproved, excerpted minutes attached).  A Resolution is attached with bylaw changes to amend how agenda items are added for Regular and Special Meetings, namely “at the request of staff or individual commission members” and adding a Student Representative to the commission. The discussion and motion follow from the April 22, 2009 meeting:

Commissioner Hogan verified the process for recommending and approving the changes to the bylaws and if they could add any additional changes. He wanted to include adding a Council member as a member of the Commission. Deputy City Clerk Krause advised those new changes would have to go through the advisement period and meetings as stated.  

ULMER/VELSKO – MOVED TO ACCEPT THE BYLAW CHANGES.

Chair Kilcher responded that they note the change and City Council could make the decision since they would probably make their own tweaks to these changes. Deputy City Clerk Krause requested more clarification on the additional change to the bylaws. Commissioner Hogan responded and added was not sure he wanted to include this change with the others. Commissioner Ulmer suggested a rotating Councilmember as a representative. Commissioner Hogan suggested the Commissioners just start attending the Council Meetings. 

VOTE. YES. WEDIN, KILCHER, ULMER, VELKSO, CARROLL, HARTLEY, HOGAN 

Motion carried.

Recommendation

Please review the attached Resolution for bylaw changes for the Port & Harbor Advisory Commission.
