Title
Approval of Ordinance 2016-11 to Amend the City of Smyrna Code of Ordinances Chapter 70, Article II, Division I, Section 70-29: Meetings- Days and place designated; calling special meetings.
Body
ISSUE: Recommendation to remove specific requirements for Parks and Recreation Commission meetings on the second Thursdays of February, April, June, August, and December.
BACKGROUND: The Code of Ordinances requires the Parks and Recreation Commission to meet bi-monthly the second Thursday of February, April, June, August, and December. This meeting requirement is the most specific to day and month out of all non-Council meetings established by Code. Staff indicates the designated meeting schedule has been nearly impossible to adhere to, especially due to holidays and school calendars. Staff recommends continued bi-monthly meetings, but on the day, weeks, and months of the Commission's selection.
RECOMMENDATION/REQUESTED ACTION: Staff recommends approval.
