Home My WebLink About09-03-2013 b2 selection of revenue measure advisory com FROM: Katie Lichtig, City Manager Prepared By: Michael Codron, Assistant City Manager SUBJECT: LOCAL REVENUE MEASURE ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEMBER SELECTION RECOMMENDATION Discuss and select the membership of the Local Revenue Measure Advisory Committee. DISCUSSION Background On July 16, 2013, consistent with the work plan in the “Sustain Essential Service and Fiscal Health” Major City Goal, the City Council created the Local Revenue Measure Advisory Committee and adopted guidelines for the conduct of the Committee (Attachment 1). The specific mission of the new advisory body is to: 1) Analyze the City’s stewardship of Measure Y resources, 2) Seek community input regarding their preferences and local revenue measure spending priorities, 3) Develop recommendations specific to the November 2014 General Election regarding alternatives for reauthorization of Measure Y, or the creation of a new revenue measure, and 4) Assist the City in performing community outreach and education. The application period extended between July 19 and August 16. At the close of the application period, the City had received 15 applications (Attachment 2, Applicant List). The applications were confirmed by the City Clerk, and distributed to the City Council for review on Monday, August 19. Selection Procedure The following steps are recommended to select Committee Members. 1. The City Clerk will provide each Council Member with a transparency that includes all of the applicants’ names. 2. The Council will check the box for each member that they wish to nominate. 3. When the transparencies are overlaid on the projector, the City Clerk will identify the names of the applicants that have at least three nominations. 4. The Council will discuss the first slate of nominees. 5. If necessary, additional rounds of nominations may occur until the Council is satisfied with the size of the Committee. B2 - 1 Local Revenue Measure Advisory Committee Member Selection _______ Page 2 Meeting Facilitation On July 16 the City Council decided that the meetings of the Committee and the public workshops should be facilitated by a third-party. Staff reached out to area facilitators to invite proposals and received three. The proposals were submitted by Catalyst Consulting (Dale Magee), Creative Mediation (Steffanie Medina), and Leonard Milstein. The City Manager will evaluate the proposals and provide the City Council with an update on the selection process either prior to, or during, the September 3 Council meeting. Next Steps Attachment 3 includes a process summary for the new Committee. This summary is an outline of the meeting schedule, topics, staff work products needed to support the facilitator and committee, and the facilitator’s role. This is a draft document that identifies one approach towards achieving the Committee’s objectives outlined in the guidelines. Once the Committee is appointed and a facilitator is hired, the process summary will be refined as needed. FISCAL IMPACTS As part of the 2013-15 Financial Plan, the City Council authorized a budget of $50,000 for local revenue measure planning efforts. The City Council authorized an additional $10,000 on July 16 so that the meetings could be facilitated by a professional facilitator rather than staff. With the cost of the facilitator included, expenditures associated with the proposed Local Revenue Measure Advisory Committee are expected to be less than $15,000. There is sufficient budget available to cover these costs. ALTERNATIVES The City Council can provide staff with direction if it wants to use a different process to select Committee Members.

Committee Process Summary T:\Council Agenda Reports\2013\2013-07-16\Local Revenue Measure Advisory Committee (Lichtig-Codron)\Advisory Committee (CAR).docx B2 - 2 ATTACHMENT 1 Local Revenue Measure Advisory Committee Guidelines 1. Introduction The purpose of these Advisory Committee Guidelines (“Guidelines”) is to clarify the respective roles of committee members, staff and others engaging in the citizen advisory committee process to create an accurate set of expectations and an understanding of the overall process for participants, the City Council and the public. The advisory committee process is intended to be collaborative, involving a diverse group of residents who will share their viewpoints, levels of expertise and matters of concern. An effort has been made to cover key aspects of advisory committee operations, such as how appointments are made, the responsibilities of different participants, the role of staff, conflict of interest issues, and meeting procedures. Nonetheless, these Guidelines are not exhaustive, they do not incorporate statutes and regulations which may apply such as the applicable State open meetings law (Brown Act). The Guidelines strive to make adequate reference to these other rules, as appropriate. 2. Applicability These Guidelines apply to the Council-appointed Local Revenue Measure Advisory Committee whose primary mission is to analyze the City’s stewardship of Measure Y resources, seek community input regarding priorities, develop recommendations regarding reauthorization of Measure Y or the creation of a new revenue measure, and to help perform community outreach and education. 3. Advisory Committee Establishment The Local Revenue Measure Advisory Committee is being established to advise the City on matters related to the City’s local ½-cent sale tax. The advice provided by the committee is communicated to City staff, which is tasked with taking accurate meeting minutes and reporting meeting updates to the City Council. This task force is appointed by the City Council; its establishment is not specifically required by any State laws or regulations. Therefore, the City Council has discretion to create, modify, and terminate the Committee, its membership, mission statement, schedule, etc. at any time. 4. Committee Authority The Local Revenue Measure Advisory Committee is advisory in nature and has no authority to approve, deny, or require modification to any policy or project under consideration. The committee’s advice and recommendations shall be conveyed to the B2 - 3 ATTACHMENT 1 Local Revenue Measure Advisory Committee Guidelines Page 2 City Council in meeting updates, minutes and in a final report. When recording votes in meeting minutes, members voting for and against items will be reported. 5. Appointment Process and Membership Term Size: The size of the committee shall be established by the City Council upon its creation. The committee shall have an odd number of members; this eliminates ambiguity as to what constitutes a quorum, and minimizes the possibility of tie votes. If a member resigns from the Committee creating an even number of members, the City Council may consider adding a member. Composition: The composition of the committee shall be determined by the City Council at the time of its creation, to ensure that specific community segments and/or other interest groups are represented in the membership. Members who currently serve on Advisory Bodies shall be eligible to serve on this committee. The committee will be created by Council resolution. Application Process and Vacancies: Selection Process: Upon the close of an application period, a copy of each application submitted will be given to the Council for review. Appointment(s) shall be made by the full Council. When considering members, a goal of representation of all segments and interests of City residents, property owners, business owners, and employees should be weighed. All members must be residents of the City of San Luis Obispo. Term of Office: The purpose of the Local Revenue Measure Advisory Committee is limited in term to the presentation of a report. The Council Resolution appointing committee members will also establish the term of committee members. Vacancies: A vacancy or vacancies on the committee shall exist: 1) When the committee is created 2) When a member or members is/are formally removed by the City Council, or 3) When the Council receives and acknowledges a letter of resignation from an incumbent. Vacancies will not be automatically filled, unless directed by the City Council. If a vacancy is to be filled, it shall be advertised by the City Clerk in the same manner as the original appointments by the Council. The temporary absence of members to fill vacancies as described in this section shall not affect the final recommendation by the committee to the Council. 6. Committee Operations Committee Mission and Responsibilities: The specific mission of the Local Revenue Measure Advisory Committee is to: B2 - 4 ATTACHMENT 1 Local Revenue Measure Advisory Committee Guidelines Page 3 1) Analyze the City’s stewardship of Measure Y resources, 2) Seek community input regarding their preferences and local revenue measure spending priorities, 3) Develop recommendations specific to the November 2014 General Election regarding alternatives for reauthorization of Measure Y, or the creation of a new revenue measure, and 4) Assist the City perform community outreach and education. Officers and Rules of Conduct: All Committee Members are appointed to serve the community at large and will represent the community equally. For purposes of meeting management a chairperson or vice-chairperson will be selected at the first meeting of the Committee and will be selected from among the Committee members appointed by the City Council. Presentations, analysis and staff support, will be provided to the Committee. Meetings of the Committee will be facilitated by an independent, third-party facilitator. The Recording Secretary will be the City Clerk or his/her designee, who will take action minutes of motions and make a digital recording of each meeting. At a minimum, these minutes shall clearly convey motions and actions taken by the committee. These minutes are to be considered, amended as needed and approved by the full committee at the earliest possible time, and signed by the Recording Secretary. In addition, the committee may adopt specific rules of conduct and procedure, as long as such rules are consistent with applicable laws, regulations and these Guidelines. Meeting Procedure: The Local Revenue Measure Advisory Committee is subject to the Brown Act, which sets standards for public notice as to meeting time, date and location as well as items to be discussed. Significant implications are as follows: 1) Noticing of all meetings, including time, location and an agenda, must be posted in a public place within the applicable area. Efforts should be made to provide adequate public notice beyond minimum Brown Act requirements of seventy-two (72) hours. 2) All meetings must be open and public. Meetings are to be held in a facility which makes adequate provision for attendance by all interested members of the public. 3) Members of the public are to be given an opportunity to speak to the committee on any regular agenda item at the time it is being discussed. Members of the public will also be given an opportunity to speak to any relevant non-agenda item. All public speakers are subject to reasonable time constraints established by a majority of the committee, and any adopted procedures. All public speakers are to identify their names and relevant business and/or personal interests they are representing for the record. 4) Minutes of committee meetings will be kept on file by the City Clerk. These minutes shall be available for any interested person to examine. 5) Meetings shall be facilitated by a professional facilitator, who will work with staff to ensure coordination of the substantial amount of information to be presented with the presence of issue area experts on the related topics. B2 - 5 ATTACHMENT 1 Local Revenue Measure Advisory Committee Guidelines Page 4 6) Quorum: A majority of the members of the committee constitute a quorum. Decisions are made by a majority of the members present and voting. No business may be transacted if fewer than a quorum is present. Formal votes by a committee are to have a motion and second, prior to allowing further discussion and a vote. 7) Members of the committee shall not vote on issues which involve a legal or ethical conflict of interest or duty (See Conflict of Interest below). 8) Subcommittees: Subcommittees may be established to focus on issues or subjects meriting more detailed work outside of normal committee meetings. Subcommittees are made up of Local Revenue Measure Advisory Committee members only, and must number fewer than a quorum. Subcommittee meeting arrangements may be set by either the staff or the committee. Such meetings are not legally required to be noticed or posted, but every effort should be made by a subcommittee member to notice and/or post the meetings, as they are open to any interested member of the public. Information about their time and location is to be made available through the City Clerk. Subcommittees may choose a Recording Secretary for preparing informal minutes. A report from any subcommittee meeting shall be made at the next full committee meeting. Staff support for subcommittee meetings may be provided, but is not required. Attendance: Committee members shall make every effort to attend regular meetings. Any member who is unable to attend any meeting shall contact the City at least seventy-two (72) hours prior to the meeting. Three (3) absences by a member shall be grounds for dismissal from the committee, subject to the discretion of the Council. Appearance on the committee’s behalf: Any member of the Local Revenue Measure Advisory Committee may speak for the committee at any applicable public hearing or other meeting as authorized by a majority of committee members. Individual members of the committee not so designated, who do testify at a public hearing or other meeting, shall clearly identify themselves as speaking individually, and shall clearly indicate that they are not authorized to speak for the full committee. Timely adjournment of evening meetings: To encourage public participation, evening meetings will be organized, agendized, and run so as to finish at a reasonable hour. Conflicts of Interest: Committee members are not considered to be “public officials” as defined in § 82048 of the California Government Code, and therefore are not subject to the State Political Reform Act and its disclosure provisions (Government Code §§ 81000 et seq.). Nevertheless, members shall remove themselves from all discussions and votes on matters in which they have any direct personal financial interest, or where the member’s professional allegiance and/or personal bias cannot be set aside to allow the member’s fair consideration of the issue(s) at hand. In gauging such extra-legal conflicts of interest and/or duty, each member shall exercise careful judgment and introspection in giving priority to the interests of fairness and B2 - 6 ATTACHMENT 1 Local Revenue Measure Advisory Committee Guidelines Page 5 objectivity; if there is any reasonable doubt that the member has a conflict, the member shall refrain from participation in deliberations and vote(s). Should a member not refrain voluntarily, and should the member’s participation specifically be challenged by another member, staff, or the public, the member’s participation on any item of official task force business may be prevented by a two-thirds majority vote of the full committee (i.e., at least two-thirds of the total incumbent membership, including the member in question). Pervasive or recurring conflicts of interest and/or duty should lead a member to resign voluntarily from the committee, and may be grounds for a dismissal by the Council. 7. Advisory Committee and Staff Responsibilities Committee Member Responsibilities: The responsibilities of the individual committee members include: 1) Punctually and fully attend all regular and special meetings of the committee and all assigned subcommittee meetings, to the maximum possible extent; 2) Come to all meetings fully prepared, having reviewed the agenda and all related written/graphic material available before the meeting; 3) Conscientiously follow high ethical standards in putting the broad public interest ahead of any personal interest and/or bias, and to abstain from all discussions and votes where this is not possible; 4) Promote full and open discussion of all matters of official business; 5) Support committee members and staff in maintaining order, keeping discussions relevant to the business at hand, and following proper procedures, while giving primary attention to matters of substance. 6) Be cognizant of the time frame and scope of work assigned to the committee, and strive to engage other committee members and staff on the information presented in a productive and expeditious manner. 7) Deliberation towards solutions and clear recommendations with other committee and subcommittee members that reflect the direction of the committee’s majority, rather than the particular opinions of individual committee members City Staff Responsibilities. Staff responsibilities in supporting the committee include: 1) Completion of background reports and information to be presented to the committee well in advance of meeting dates so that the materials can be distributed in advance, allowing committee members and the public to become familiar with the information that will be presented and discussed ahead of time. 2) Schedule all committee meetings, make arrangements for all facilities, distribute written/graphic materials, notices, and agendas, for such meetings, and coordinate necessary staff participation and guest speakers.
