SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
Introduce Ordinance No. 1583, An Ordinance of the City of Seal Beach
Amending Section 3.10.010 of the Seal Beach Municipal Code, Related to the
Term of the Planning Commission.
BACKGROUND:
At the December 8, 2008 City Council meeting the Council introduced Ordinance
No. 1582, relating to the length and number of terms of the Recreation and Parks
Commission. During the City Council deliberations, it was determined to remove
the limitation on the number of terms that a Recreation and Parks Commissioner
could serve. The City Council also requested staff to review the Municipal Code
provisions relating to the Planning Commission and Environmental Quality
Control Board regarding any existing provisions regarding term limits for those
bodies.
The Environmental Quality Control Board does not have limitation as to the
number of terms that a member can serve (Section 3.10.005.B), while the
Planning Commission has a term limit set forth of in Section 3.10.010.8 as "No
member of the commission shall serve for more than 2 consecutive 4 year
terms."
The proposed Ordinance will amend the provisions regarding the Planning
Commission in accordance with the City Council direction of December 8, 2008
to be consistent with the provisions regarding the Environmental Quality Control
Board and the Recreation and Parks Commission.
