Riley, Assistant City Mana e DATE: February 25, 2009 (CC Meeting of 3/4/2009) SUBJECT: Consider Modification to Council Policy on Requirements for Membership on the Board of Directors for the Moorpark Community Foundation for the Arts BACKGROUND On January 16, 2008, the City Council directed staff to begin the research activity necessary to establish a Moorpark Community Foundation for the Arts. The mission of the Foundation is to raise funds from private sources and private or public grants to support the advancement of the arts in Moorpark including supporting the ongoing operating expense of the High Street Arts Center. In March 2008, staff completed the required Articles of Incorporation (Attached) which were filed with the California Secretary of State's Office on June 5, 2008 to establish the foundation. On February 4, 2009 the City Council approved Bylaws governing the operation of the Foundation including appointment and service of a Board of Directors. DISCUSSION The City Council's current Policies Resolution No. 2007-2636 sets forth the Council policies for citizen appointments to boards, commissions, and committees. Existing City Council Policy regarding residency for appointment to City Boards and Commissions requires that applicants be a resident and a registered voter of Moorpark with two exceptions: A. There is no registered voter requirement for the Teen Council B. A Moorpark Arts Commissioner must reside within the City, the City's Area of Interest, the Moorpark Unified school District boundaries, or own a business within the city of Moorpark. if.)()033 Honorable City Council February 25, 2009 Page 2 The mission of the Moorpark Community Foundation for the Arts includes providing financial support for the Arts Center which depends upon regional audience support from beyond these traditional boundaries. Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council consider deleting the residency requirement for board members of the foundation. It is not unlikely that a future board member of the foundation might have a New York home address but in fact spends significant time in California. There could also be interest in the Arts Center Project from a well known entertainment professional or artist. The requirement to be a registered voter would be difficult to verify for a person residing in another country and should also be deleted. If the Council approves these modifications, when the Council Policies are presented for amendment in the near future, these changes would be included. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact to the proposed action. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approve deletion of the voter registration and residency requirements for membership on the Board of Directors for the Moorpark Community Foundation for the Arts and direct staff to include these changes in the next Update to City Council Policies Resolution.
