Subject:

Consideration of an Ordinance increasing the Traffic Commission from five to seven members. (Action Item)

Date:10/25/2016

OBJECTIVE

To present an ordinance to the City Council for first reading and introduction to increase the membership of the Traffic Commission from five to seven members.

BACKGROUND

Because of the change to District elections and the increase of the City Council membership to six council districts and an at-large elected mayor, the City Council gave direction for staff to make sure that all of the City's citizen commissions be composed of seven members.  All citizen commissions currently consist of seven members except for the Traffic Commission, which currently consists of five members.  

DISCUSSION

The attached ordinance amends Section 2.70.010 of Chapter 2.70 of the Garden Grove Municipal Code to increase the membership of the Traffic Commission from five members to seven members.  Once adopted after second reading, the ordinance will become effective in 30 days and all citizen commissions will consist of seven members.

FINANCIAL IMPACT

None.
RECOMMENDATION

Introduce the following Ordinance read by title only:

 

  • AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GARDEN GROVE AMENDING SECTION 2.70.010 OF CHAPTER 2.70 OF TITLE 2 OF THE GARDEN GROVE MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO THE TRAFFIC COMMISSION.
