SUBJECT: Morros Plan Advisory Committee CAO RECOMMENDATION By Motion: 1) Appoint the Parks & Recreation Director to serve as the City representative on the Morros Plan Advisory Committee. 2) Actively encourage citizens within the community to apply for positions on the committee. DISCUSSION The County of San Luis Obispo Parks & Recreation Commission is now accepting applications for the Morros Advisory Committee (Attachment A). The committee will be responsible for determining Morros protection mechanism and the content of the draft Morros Plan. The committee will consist of a cross section of representation: Public land owners, private land owners, agricultural organizations, environmental groups, business organizations, at large members and a city representative from Morro Bay and San Luis Obispo (Attachment B). The project manager has requested that a staff member be appointed as City representative (Attachment C). A staff member would have knowledge of City budget and operational matters, which is important in preparing the Morros Plan. If authorized to apply, the Parks & Recreation Director will be charged with representing the City's position on the Morros Plan by seeking direction from City Council on a regular basis. The Morros Advisory Committee represents an opportunity for the Parks & Recreation Director to meet and interact with many individuals involved in the City's open space and green belt areas. As the Morros Advisory Committee will consist of 12-18 members it is important that the City be well represented. It is appropriate that residents be encouraged to apply for positions, such as the representatives from business or environmental groups. With Council's authorization, I will contact the project manager and inform him of your concern that the City be properly represented on the committee. ATTACHMENT A.
