Title
East Gainesville Sprout Project Task Force Guidelines and Procedures (B)
Explanation
At the December Task Force meeting, staff recommended amending the Task Force Guidelines and Procedures to extend the lifespan of the committee. The Task Force was due to sunset in 2000. There is a need to extend the committee's lifespan to ensure public involvement through the completion of the project. The Task Force has provided valuable advice to the City on the Sprout Project and this service should be maintained. Members also sought to reduce the number of regular meetings held and continue to receive project updates. The committee wanted to assemble quarterly unless urgent business requires convening more frequently. Staff has incorporated the desired changes within the Task Force Guidelines and Procedures and obtained Task Force approval to submit the changes to the Office of the Clerk of the Commission.
On November 11, 2000, the City Commission referred the question of the membership of the Task Force to that same committee and requested staff return to the City Commission with a recommendation. At the December 2000 Task Force meeting, members discussed the possibility of adding new members, but the discussion concluded without a formal motion to change the membership. Staff will revisit this issue with the Task Force at the next available meeting.

Recommendation
