RECOMMENDATION FOR PLANNING
COMMISSION CHAIR AND REAPPOINTMENT OF
DICK KUYKENDALL
JUNE 17, 1996
DATE:
INTRODUCTION:
The Planning Commission bylaws require that the Chair be
appointed annually by the City Council upon
recommendation of the Planning Commission. Additionally,
Dick Kuykendalls' term expires on July 1 and he is eligible
for reappointment under the term limit policy.
DISCUSSION:
The bylaws provide that the Planning Commission is to
annually recommend a new chair to the City Council. The
Commission has recommends William Criego succeed Dick
Kuykendall as Chair.
The Planning Commission discussed the issue of annual
terms for the Chair and concluded that a longer term might
be more appropriate. Members felt that a year allowed the
Chair only enough time to learn the job and then face the
prospect of turning the job over to another member. They
felt that 18 months was a more useful length of time as it
allowed the Chair more time to exercise the skills gained
during his or her term.
As noted, Dick Kuykendalls' term expires on July 1 and he
is eligible for re-appointment under term limits. Attached is
the meeting attendance record for the Planning Commission
for the last year and one half. Dick Kuykendall has attended
just over 70% of the scheduled meetings.
