Subject:
title
MOTION to approve a proposed "Resolution Authorizing Term Adjustments For The Ledyard Beautification Committee" as contained in the draft dated October 19, 2022".
end
Background:
The Ledyard Pride and Beautification Committee was initially established under a Resolution on August 10, 2016.
Resolutions are typically used for temporary or short-term committees designed to address a specific project, which would have a fixed end date such as the Charter Revision Commission; with all members terms ending at the same time.
Because the Ledyard Beautification Committee was a success, as part of the 2017-2019 Town Council Ordinance Update Initiative the Resolution establishing the Beautification Committee was transitioned into an Ordinance to provide for an on-going Beautification Committee and the current members at that time remained in place.
With the terms of the Beautification Committee all ending on October 26, 2022 six of the nine member Committee decided not to seek reappointment, leaving the Committee in a position of not having a quorum.
To resolve this issue, and to provide continuity of historical background on the Committee the Administration Committee proposed a one-time Administrative Adjustment to the terms of newly appointed members of the Ledyard Beautification Committee.
Based on a nine-member Committee the Administration Committee recommends the one-time Administrative Adjustment be as follows:
* The terms of the current three Committee Members, who were reappointed on September 28, 2022, was scheduled to end on October 26, 2025;
* Three newly appointed members terms would be slated to end on October 26, 2024; and
* Three newly appointed members terms would be slated to end on October 26, 2023.
Thereafter, vacancies shall be filled for a three (3) year term in accordance with Ordinance #100-008 "An Ordinance Establishing a Beautification Committee for the Town of Ledyard".
