BACKGROUND Currently, the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board (PRAB) has eight board members who serve two year terms with four positions being renewed each year. In reviewing the terms and number of members of other City Council appointed commissions, boards and committees, a combination of different terms and number of members depending on their responsibilities was found. The Planning Commission, Environmental Concerns Committee, and Arts Council all have nine members serving for three year terms. After reviewing this issue, City Attorney Kit Williams recommended in addition to increasing the terms to three years, the number of members should be increased to nine in the event a tie needs to be broken by the PRAB Chair. DISCUSSION For the past several years, PRAB members have discussed it takes about two years to fully understand the diverse responsibilities of the Parks and Recreation Division. Changing the terms from two to three years would help provide them with the experience needed to serve on this board. In addition, instead of possibly changing the composition of half the board each year, there could potentially be only three members, or one third of the members changed with having nine members. As the parks and recreation system continues to grow, this would add more consistancy and also allow for more citizens to be involved. PRAB recommended changing the ordinance creating the Board to increase the board members to nine and the terms to three years at their July 7, 2008 meeeting. BUDGETIMPACT There is no budget impact with this change. Attachments: Code of Fayetteville §33 .018 Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. ORDINANCE NO.
