SUMMARY 12/31/06, Ord. #1841 needs to be amended to provide for staggered terms prior to re-
appointment. (City Attorney recommends passage prior to year -end 2006.) Originally the
Committee was set up to have staggered terms, wherein four positions expired one year,
and the remaining three expired two years later. This provides the best option for
continuity of the committee through overlapping terms of service.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Community Parks Committee
FROM: Bev Willison, Sister Cities Staff
SUBJECT: Sister Cities Committee Terms of Appointment
DATE: November 16, 2006
Currently, the appointments of the seven member Sister Cities Committee will all
expire on 12/31/06. Originally, the committee was set up to have staggered terms,
wherein four positions expired one year, and the remaining three expired two years
later. This provides the best option for continuity of the committee through
overlapping terms of service.
In Ordinance No. 1841, Section 2.31.030 dictates four -year teluis of appointment, but
does not make any mention of the necessity to stagger the terms. For that reason, an
amendment is needed to establish the desired staggered term structure as described
above.
