Subject:
Resolution No. 09-021, Appoint members to the SPIN
Standing Committee.
Action
Requested:
ApproveResolution No. 09-021, Appoint members to the
SPIN Standing Committee.
Background
Information:
The City Council will be considering approval of this item on
nd
2 Reading of Ordinance No. 598-C which governs the
SPIN program. Due to revisions to the SPIN Map which is
Exhibit “A” of that ordinance, it is necessary to reappoint all
SPIN Representatives:
“Members of the Standing Committee shall be appointed by
a majority vote of the City Council for a term of two (2) years
and shall serve until their successors are appointed and
qualify. Members who are neighborhood representatives
shall be appointed to positions identified by place number.
Neighborhood representatives appointed to odd-numbered
places shall be appointed in odd-numbered years, and
neighborhood representatives appointed to even-numbered
places shall be appointed in even-numbered years,
provided, however, that the initial term of the even-numbered
places shall be one (1) year. All members who are appointed
to at-large positions shall be appointed for terms of two (2)
st
years which expire on May 31 at the end of their second
year of service. Terms of office for all members of the
st
Standing Committee shall commence on June 1 and expire
st
on May 31. Any prior appointments will automatically
st
extend through May 31 of the final year of said
appointment. If a member fails to complete the term to
which he or she was appointed, a successor shall be
appointed to complete the unexpired balance of his or her
term.”
According to the boundaries as proposed on Exhibit “A,”
there are now 11 SPIN Neighborhoods. SPINs 1 and 11 do
not currently have representation and based on attendance
records, SPIN does not recommend reappointing the current
Youth Representative. Therefore, SPIN is recommending
that council appoint nine neighborhood representatives as
well as the Senior position.
