EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Clerk's Office annually prepares a manual for members of boards and commissions which
includes membership lists,descriptions of each board and commission,meeting schedules,conflict
of interest guidelines,appeal procedures,and general information regarding membership limitations,
attendance policies and other responsibilities. On July 17, 1990, Council adopted Resolution 90-

the Manual have been approved through the adoption of Resolutions to amend the Manual.

to boards and commissions have occurred. Because of the extensive nature of these changes, staff
recommends adoption of the 2001 Boards and Commissions Manual in its entirety.
Following is a list of the significant changes made to the 2001 Boards and Commissions Manual:
New Sections:
♦ Introduction to City Government --This information is being presented at training
sessions for new boards and commissions members, and has been added to the
manual as a reference tool.
♦ Periodic Review Process -- This is a new process resulting from the recent boards
and commissions review and Council direction at the January 25, 2000 Study
Session.
♦ Staff Liaison Role -- This description was developed to clarify the role of staff
' liaisons.

During an executive session, the board or
commission cannot make final policy decisions,
pass resolutions, or take other formal action. If
a board or commission does attempt to take
formal or final action in an executive session,
such action would be void and of no effect.
Courts are empowered to issue injunctions to
prevent the violation of the open meetings law
and may impose costs and attorney fees in the
event that a violation of the law is found to
have occurred.
Information received by board and commission
members in an executive session should be
kept confidential by the members. A member
could become criminally liable for misuse of
official information if a member used
confidential information for his or her
personal pecuniary gain or aided another in
achieving a pecuniary benefit. Disclosure of
confidential information could also result in
the loss of liability protection under the
