Background and Analysis:
On September 13, 2016, the Olympia Municipal Park District (OMPD) Board adopted an Advisory Committee Charter to guide the work of the OMPD Advisory Committee. On November 1, 2017 the Advisory Committee voted unanimously for four proposed minor “clean-up” type changes to the charter to improve clarity (attached). The changes include:
• Changing the word “board” to “committee” when referring to the “Advisory Committee”. This will help reduce confusion between references to the Advisory Committee and the OMPD Board.
• Adding language about the Committee electing a chair and vice-chair
• Currently in the section on the duties of the Committee, there is a reference to the annual report to the Board being about “adequacy of funding levels.” This is proposed to be changed to “the City’s compliance with the funding levels.” The proposed language is the language used in section 4.1.3 of the Interlocal Agreement which describes the duties of the Advisory Committee.
• Added an additional duty of the Advisory Committee to report on any proposed amendments to the Interlocal Agreement (as per section 6.3).
Options:
1. Move to approve proposed minor “clean-up” changes to Advisory Committee Charter
2. Do not move to approve proposed minor “clean-up” changes to Advisory Committee Charter
