Subject:
TITLE
Consider Adopting Schedule for 2025 Park and Recreation Advisory Board Meetings.
BODY
Action Requested:
The Northfield City Council is being asked to approve the attached Resolution adopting the 2025 schedule for City of Northfield boards and commissions.
Summary Report:
City Code establishes that board and commission meetings "shall be held at a fixed time, on a fixed date and in a fixed place as shall be determined by the council (Sec. 2-287)." In 2022 the City approved a monthly calendar that established a day of the month that every board/ commission would meet, with minor adjustments made throughout the year. In addition, the start time for most meetings moved to 6:00PM and the meeting location for most meetings moved to the City Hall Council Chambers. Following recent code changes tied to board and commission governance work, the City Council will now approve the meeting schedules for most City boards and commissions.
The City Council approved the 2025 meeting dates for the Heritage Preservation Commission, Housing and Redevelopment Authority, Arts and Culture Commission, Library Board, Environmental Quality Commission, Planning Commissions, Economic Development Authority, Human Rights Commissions, and Northfield Alliance for Substance Abuse Prevention at the November 12, 2024, City Council meeting. The Park and Recreation Advisory Board meeting dates were not approved at the time to give the board a chance to review the calendar due to a shift from the 1st Monday of the month to the 3rd Monday of the month. The Park and Recreation Advisory Board will review at their meeting on Monday December 2. Staff has reached out to members in advance and no members have indicated opposition to the change. Additional information on the December 2nd meeting will be included in a supplemental.
