Background for Motion:
Background Summary:
Draft Ordinance No. 6663 proposes to modify Section 2.33.010 (Creation) of the Auburn City Code to increase the membership of the Auburn Airport Advisory Board from five (5) members to seven (7) members. Key Result Area No. 2, Goal No. 5 of the Council adopted 2017-2020 Strategic Business Plan for the Auburn Municipal Airport specifies that the Board should annually conduct a review of the current composition and focuses of the Airport Advisory Board to determine potential for recommended code changes. It further identifies that areas of interest could include but are not limited to current number of authorized board members and specific Board focuses. Throughout 2017, the Board discussed the current number of Board members several times, most recently at the Board’s October 2017 and November 2017 meetings. At the Board’s December 20, 2017 meeting, the Board reviewed draft Ordinance No. 6663 and on positive motion action recommended to the City Council the approval of the Ordinance. The Board asked staff to share with the City Council its reasons for supporting the ordinance including reducing potential quorum issues and increasing opportunities for additional member experiences and backgrounds to enhance the Board’s work efforts. The Board also asked staff to share with the City Council that while it is supportive of the increase in the number of members from five to seven, it strongly wants to retain the positive working atmosphere, energy and focus of the Board.
