Boards and Commissions CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT FOR COUNCIL MEETING OF January 20, 2004 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Ron Kenny — Community Services Director � SUBJECT: Parks & Recreation Foundation Request to Fill Board Member Director Positions DATE: December 16, 2003 BACKGROUND: The Parks & Recreation Foundation is currently at work for the citizens of Colton. Recreation Division Scholarships are being awarded to Colton's youth, and fundraisers are on-going to see that future scholarships are possible. The Foundation is operated by a Board of Directors. Two members of the current Board are Council Members, who serve 2 -year terms. Mayor Pro Tempore Chastain currently serves as the Foundation President. She and Mayor Bennett have been instrumental in reviving the Foundation as Board Members, however their terms of service have expired. As a result, the Board of Directors is requesting that the City Council give consideration to re -appointing members to these positions for a two-year term. According to recently amended Foundation By-laws, the Foundation Board of Directors shall include one City of Colton Council Member as a Board Member, and one Council Member as an alternate, who is invited to all Foundation Board meetings, and only assumes voting rights in the absence of the seated Council Member. DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: The Foundation has amended its by-laws to include one Council Member as a Director, and one Council Member as an alternate. This was done to facilitate the busy schedules of City Council Members. The Foundation has become a functional entity in Colton, and the Board of Directors is confident that on-going regular business can be accomplished with the participation of a single Council Member.
