The advisory body can create ad hoc committees that are limited to both a defined task and a duration that is less than a year. The Commission for the Arts currently has several committees, described in the attached Subcommittee's List, that either need to be converted to ad hoc committees or approved by City Council to conform with the Rules of Procedure.

COMMISSION FOR THE ARTS STAFF REPORT ITEM NO. 5.1 DATE: November 19, 2024 TO: Chairperson and Members of the Commission for the Arts FROM: Theresa de la Vega, Management Analyst II SUBJECT: Discussion of ad hoc committees and subcommittees. RECOMMENDED ACTION Staff recommends the Commission for the Arts review the list of subcommittees that will need to be terminated or forwarded for Council approval to become standing subcommittees. SUMMARY The Commission for the Arts has a list of Subcommittees that need to be reviewed to be compliant with the current Council Rules of Procedures for Subcommittees. Staff recommends the Commission for the Arts review the list of subcommittees that will need to be terminated or forwarded for Council approval to become standing subcommittees. DISCUSSION Under Council Rules of Procedure 16.2(3)(b), an advisory body is not authorized to create a standing subcommittee, one that has a continuing subject matter jurisdiction and/or extended duration, without prior City Council approval. The advisory body can create ad hoc committees that are limited to both a defined task and a duration that is less than a year. The Commission for the Arts currently has several committees, described in the attached Subcommittee's List, that either need to be converted to ad hoc committees or approved by City Council to conform with the Rules of Procedure. The current Commission for the Arts Rules of Procedure also needs to be updated to be consistent with the Council's Rules of Procedure on this subject. Staff recommends the Developer-Initiated Art Subcommittee be recommended as a standing subcommittee for Council approval, and the rest of the subcommittees either be sunset or ad hoc committees that are limited to both a defined task and a duration that is less than a year.
