Presenter: Mike Applegarth
Body
Description/Background:
December 2018 was the last time that the Council made assignments for Council member liaisons to external and special committees. With the intent for liaison assignments to follow the calendar year, the Council may assign new Council liaisons to any of the committees listed in the attached resolution should it so choose.
External committees refer to a committee, board, or commission that is not operated or organized by Sandy City, but instead by a group or organization external to the City. These committees, boards, or commissions sometimes host liaisons or representatives who are appointed by the Sandy City Mayor or Council (the Council in this case).
Special committees are standing groups of Sandy residents, business owners, experts, or other individuals who are jointly appointed by the Mayor and City Council to advise them on matters of importance to the City. Special committees are created by joint resolution of the Mayor and Council and operate in accordance with the Special Committees Policy and Procedural Manual adopted through Resolution 18-40C on 9/11/2018. At this time Sandy Special Committees include: the Arts Guild, Civic Center Architectural Review Committee, Community Development Block Grant Committee (CDBG), the Historic Committee, and the Public Utilities Advisory Board (PUAB). Should additional special committees be created in the future, the Council may appoint a liaison to said committee at that time.
Recommended Action and/or Suggested Motion:
Recommendation
1. Make changes to Council Liaison appointments
2. Motion to adopt Resolution #20-02C with the new appointments as prescribed by the Council
