An ordinance of the City of Gainesville, Florida, amending sections of the Code of Ordinances relating to the City Beautification Board; providing directions to the codifier; providing a severability clause; providing a repealing clause; and providing an immediate effective date.
Explanation
At its meeting of September 5, 2019, the City Beautification Board requested that the City Commission reduce the number of members of the board from 15 to 9 because of low attendance and in order to more efficiently conduct the functions of the City Beautification Board. The City Beautification Board also requested that the duty of sanitation be removed from the official duties and functions of City Beautification Board because the City Beautification Board no longer serves this function. The City Commission directed the City Attorney's Office to draft an amendment to the Code of Ordinances to reduce the number of members of the City Beautification Board from 15 to 9 and to remove the function and duty of sanitation. In drafting the Ordinance, the City Attorney's Office also removed outdated provisions governing the term of board members who served from 1996-1997.
The City Beautification Board requests that the City Commission approve revised Rules for the City Beautification board which reflect the above changes. The City Beautification Board has approved the proposed Rules.
Fiscal note
No fiscal impact is expected.
Recommendation
The City Commission: 1) adopt the proposed ordinance; and 2) approve the revised Rules for the City Beautification Board.
