6. NEW BUSINESS
1. Draft ordinance reducing the number of members on the Community Development
Advisory Committee
Councilmember Clark supported the change reducing the number of members to twelve.
Councilmember Tolmachoff thought it would be easier for the Community Development
Advisory Committee (CDAC).
Ms. Bower said staff was under a time constraint and the ordinance was required be approved
by the end of February. If there was GSC consensus to proceed with the ordinance, she asked
if the item could be placed on the February 11th voting meeting. The ordinance would be
reviewed by Council at its executive session after the workshop on February 11th.
Councilmember Clark did not see a problem with placing it on the February 11th voting meeting.
Councilmember Tolmachoff said if there was a problem, it could be pulled from the voting
meeting agenda.
Councilmember Aldama joined the meeting at 2:03 p.m.
Councilmember Clark said the proposed ordinance would reduce the number of members on
the CDAC from 13 to 12. She said there would be four representatives of low-income
residents/neighborhoods; four representatives of community groups, organizations or
businesses; and four representatives of Council districts and/or Mayoral Office.
Councilmember Aldama asked the reason for the reduction.
Ms. Bower explained the Arizona Department of Economic Security (DES) had reviewed the
membership of the CDAC and was requiring a tripartite board with members from the three
categories.
Councilmember Aldama asked if Council would be appointing only four members.
Ms. Bower said Council would be appointing all twelve members of the CDAC from each of the
three categories.
Councilmember Aldama asked how the Council/Mayoral representatives would be selected.
Councilmember Clark said any Councilmember could recommend an appointment to the
Government Services Committee.
Councilmember Tolmachoff suggested that the ordinance indicate the appointments were at
large.
There was consensus to proceed with the ordinance with the addition of the words "At large" to
the last sentence of paragraph (a) of Sec. 28-42:
"At large appointments to the committee shall be made by the City Council and shall be
for two-year terms."
2. Approval of proposed amendment to Government Services Committee Policy No.
GSC-03 regarding specific training requirements relating to the Community
Development Advisory Committee
Councilmember Clark said the proposal was to amend the GSC policy regarding training for
board and commission members by adding a requirement for whistle blower training for CDAC
members.
Councilmember Aldama asked where the changed stemmed from and if there was a lot of
reporting.
Ms. Bower said the training was another requirement suggested by the DES for CDAC
members.
There was consensus to amend the training policy.
