The Parks & Recreation Advisory Committee seeks an exemption allowing it to recommend candidates for committee appointments, a role currently prohibited by city policy. This change would increase the committee's influence over its own composition and decision-making structure.

Review Parks Committee's citywide board-appointment exemption

Why now: Vice Chair Cronnon volunteered to draft the resolution at the 2026-04-08 meeting, and after 4 appearances since 2026-03-11 it passed second reading unanimously with no documented legal review in the record.

What to do: Pull the legislative history behind City Code Section 10.1.6(B) before Council votes on this — the resolution language was drafted by PRAC's own Vice Chair, not staff or legal counsel, and would carve this committee out of the citywide rule that blocks boards from recommending their own replacements.

Act before: After City Council votes on the Code amendment

Ask why Parks Department skipped its promised citywide response

Why now: May 13, 2026 minutes state PARD Staff would respond by the June 10 second reading; the June 10, 2026 minutes record 'no official response' from Parks & Recreation Leadership despite noting they support the Resolution.

What to do: File a records request for internal Parks and Recreation Department correspondence on this item — the committee was told a formal PARD Staff response would be delivered for the June 10 second reading, but the minutes instead note 'no official response' while claiming staff support.

Act before: After records request response (typically 10 business days)
