AGENDA ITEM 4.1
MEDINA, WASHINGTON
AGENDA BILL
Tuesday, January 17, 2023
Subject: Parks and Recreation Board Meeting Change Proposal
Category: Park Board Business
Staff Contact: Ryan Osada, Public Works Director
Summary
City staff has reviewed the Parks and Recreation Board meeting dates over a two-year period
and has determined the park board could reduce the number of meetings per year from 10
meetings to 6 meetings per calendar year. The park board cancelled 3 meetings in 2022 due to
lack of a Quorum or lack of Park Board business. This change would reduce board members and
staff time but still allow for Park Board business and events to be done effectively and efficiently.
The proposed meetings schedule would be January, March, May, July, September, and
November. Park Board would keep with the current schedule of meeting on the 3rd Monday of
the proposed meeting month at 5:00 p.m.
Attachment
1. Proposed Meeting Calendar and Park Board Events for 2023
Budget/Fiscal Impact: None.
Recommendation: Approve.
Proposed Park Board Motion:
“I move to approve the proposed Parks and Recreation Board meeting date change from 10
meetings per year to 6 meetings per year starting in January 2023 and forward this
recommendation to the City Council for a Code Amendment at the February 13, 2023, City
Council meeting.”
