20. First Reading of Ordinance No. 132, 2012, Amendinq Section 2-237 of the City Code Relating to
Membership of the Golf Board.
The Golf Board currently consists of nine members appointed by the City Council. At the end of 2012,
the terms of three members will expire. Two of those members are eligible for reappointment but did
not reapply for reappointment. One member did apply for reappointment. This provides an
opportunity for Council to consider changes to the size of the Board without negatively impacting any
current members. This opportunity was presented to the Board by staff, and the Board voted to
recommend that the Council reduce the size from nine to seven members. This Ordinance amends
the City Code to reduce the size of the Board to seven members.

to create a Planning, Development, and Transportation Service Area, reflecting changes in roles and
reporting relationships.

Code.
The Colorado General Assembly amended certain statutory provisions this legislative session relating

is consistent with state traffic laws.
