MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Jessica Matson, Legislative & Info Services Director/City Clerk
BY: Julie Hawkins, Deputy City Clerk/Communications Coordinator
SUBJECT: Consideration of Appointment to the Downtown Parking Advisory
Board
DATE: February 13, 2024
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Appointment of Kevin Delaney to the Downtown Parking Advisory Board to fill a vacancy.
IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
There is no financial or staffing impact from the recommended action.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the recommendation of Mayor Pro Tem Guthrie to appoint Kevin Delaney to the
Downtown Parking Advisory Board.
BACKGROUND:
City Council policy sets forth appointment procedures for the City’s Commissions, Boards
and Committees. Section 5.2 of the City Council Handbook states that “the Mayor and
each member of the Council shall appoint one representative to each respective
Commission/Board/Committee…, subject to approval by a majority of the Council.”
A vacancy on the Downtown Parking Advisory Board occurred in February 2023 when
former Board members’ terms ended. Due to the qualifications to serve on this advisory
body, it has been difficult to fill the vacancies.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
The Downtown Parking Advisory Board is responsible for advising the City Council and
making recommendations as to how the agency funds assessments from Village
merchants for the maintenance of Village parking shall be used. There is a current,
unscheduled vacancy on the Board with a term expiration date of January 31, 2027. Kevin
Delaney has applied and is recommended for appo intment by Mayor Pro Tem Guthrie.
