Title 2, Administration and Personnel, Chapter 2.40, Appointive Officers, Section 2.40.030,
Definitions, for the purpose of creating the appointive office of Director of Tourism and
Special Events, and for other matters properly related thereto
Mayor Tedford read the proposed Bill title to into the record.
Deputy City Attorney Erquiaga explained that this agenda item is seeking introduction of Bill No.
772. Mayor Tedford just read the title to the Council and that is all the City Attorney's Office was
hoping to accomplish at this time. Along with the introduction by one of the Council members, this
would set the table for the City to create that new appointed position that is really not all that new, but
more a reflection of how this position has historically been treated. This will allow us to begin the
process of seeking a replacement for Rick Gray as he is retiring soon. He reminded that this is for
introduction only at this time.
Mayor Tedford noted that if this Bill is introduced tonight, passage of the Bill would be
considered during the first Council meeting in May.
Deputy City Attorney Erquiaga concurred; with the publication time period, the public hearing
for this Bill would be May 3, 2016. After the public hearing, we would hope to adopt the ordinance at
that same meeting.
