This advice and detailed studies are often catalysts for innovative programs and improved services. Serving on a Board or Commission can be a rewarding experience for community service- minded residents. It is an excellent way to participate in the functioning of local government and to make a personal contribution to the improvement of our community. Effective government depends on the participation of a dedicated and diverse group of Board and Commission members. Your participation helps to maintain effective and responsive local government. On behalf of the City Council, I wish to thank the members of each Board and Commission for their service and extend an invitation to all residents of the City to consider serving on a citizen advisory board. Sincerely, Kari Linder City Recorder 503-534-4225 klinder@lakeoswego.citv Table of Contents Lake Oswego's Form of Government 1 • Mayor • City Council • City Manager Types of Commissions, Advisory Boards, and Ad Hoc Committees 2 • Commissions • Advisory Boards • Ad Hoc Committees Board and Commission Summary 3 Coordination with Council, Staff and Others 5 • Communications to Council • Reporting Work Completed • Council Meetings and Agendas • Council Liaison Role of Committee Support Staff 6 • Committee Support Staff • Relationship between Staff and Committee • Training Process for New Members Process for Board and Commission Work Plans 7 Public Meetings 7 • Meetings • Requirement to Meet in Public • Requirement to be Accessible to Public • Wheelchair Access • Communication Access • Notice of Meetings • Closed Meetings • Public Hearings, Public Forums and Workshops • Meeting Minutes Ethics Requirements 9 APPENDIX Council Liaisons - 2022 10 Administration (Chapter 12.50 and 12.51 of Lake Oswego Code) 11 Board and Commission Descriptions 27 Guide to Bodies Subject to Public Meetings Law 49 Public Meetings Check List 50 LAKE OSWEGO'S FORM OF GOVERNMENT The Lake Oswego City Charter establishes a council-manager form of government, which vests policy authority in a volunteer City Council and administrative authority for day-to-day operations in an appointed, professional City Manager. The Lake Oswego City Council consists of a mayor and six councilors who serve four-year terms. Mayor The Mayor serves as the City's political head and chairperson of the Council. He or she is elected by the city at large on a nonpartisan ballot for a four-year term of office. The Mayor does not receive a salary. The Mayor is the formal representative of the City. City Council The City Council, Lake Oswego's legislative body, has seven members (including the Mayor). The Councilors are elected on a nonpartisan ballot for four-year terms. Like the Mayor, City Councilors are not paid. The Council sets City goals, enacts legislation, adopts policies and plans, and determines the services the City provides. The Council adopts the City budget, which specifies how much money can be spent for each City service. The Mayor and Council also appoint citizen committees to advise the City on a wide range of issues. The Council elects one of its members to serve as president for one year. The president presides over the Council in the Mayor's absence and can represent the Mayor and Council on special occasions. The Council takes official action at regular council meetings, which are held on the first and third Tuesdays of each month. Check the City website for exact start times. The Council may conduct special meetings on other days as needed. Council meetings are held in the Council Chambers at City Hall unless otherwise noted on the website and agenda. All Council proceedings are open to the public, except for properly called executive sessions. Council agendas are posted on the city website on Wednesday afternoon preceding the meeting. Agenda information is also published in the Lake Oswego Review as well as posted at City Hall, the Library and the Adult Community Center. Citizens may subscribe to the Council Agenda list sery to receive notices of agenda posting by visiting the Email Subscriptions and Notifications page on the City website. City Manager Under the council-manager form of government, the Council appoints a City Manager who manages the City's staff and departments. The City Manager is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the City of Lake Oswego. 1 TYPES OF COMMISSIONS, ADVISORY BOARDS, AND COMMITTEES The Council has created three distinct types of committees: Commissions, Advisory Boards, and Ad Hoc Committees. These committees originate from three different sources: City code, Council action, and State statute. Commissions A Commission is a standing committee that is required by state law or to which the Council has delegated final decision-making authority. The Commissions include: • Planning Commission (also serves as Commission for Citizen Involvement) • Development Review Commission Advisory Boards An advisory board is a standing committee that is not required by state law (with the exception of the Budget Committee). It is appointed by the Council to advise and make recommendations to the Council regarding topics as specified in the Board's enabling provision. The Advisory Boards include: • Budget Committee • Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Advisory Board • 50+Advisory Board • Historic Resources Advisory Board • Library Advisory Board • Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Advisory Board • Planning Commission (also serves as Commission for Citizen Involvement) • Sustainability Advisory Board • Transportation Advisory Board • Tourism Advisory Committee Ad Hoc Committees An ad hoc committee refers to a temporary committee appointed for a specific term to accomplish a specific task or project. Ad hoc citizen committees shall be established by resolution of the Council. The resolution identifies the term of the committee, the task or project to be accomplished, the timeline for completion of the task or the project, and such other direction as the Council deems appropriate. 2 BOARD AND COMMISSION SUMMARY The Council appoints all of the members to the City's boards, commissions, and committees. All terms for regular members are three years, except the Planning Commission which are four years. Youth members to advisory boards are appointed for one-year terms, which may be renewed for one additional year. Position vacancies are advertised in the City's newsletter, Hello L.O., on social media, and the City's website. Additional information about City boards, commissions, and committees or their meetings is available online. Budget Committee The Budget Committee reviews the City and the Redevelopment Agency budgets. It has seven citizen members in addition to the Mayor and Council. Development Review Commission The Development Review Commission reviews development proposals and administers procedures and standards to assure that the design of site and building improvements are consistent with applicable standards. It has seven members. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Advisory Board The DEI Advisory Board will collaborate with the community, Council and staff to implement the DEI Task Force's recommendations and create long-term DEI goals; advise the Communications Team on methods of inclusive outreach and communicating to diverse groups; promote the City's efforts to engage diverse populations within the boards and commissions, neighborhood associations and other civic volunteer structures; and participate as voting members of interview panels for boards and commissions recruitment. It has seven members and two members under 18 years old. 50+Advisory Board The 50+Advisory Board reviews the needs and interests of City residents who are 50 years of age and over, and makes recommendations relating to current and potential services, programs and facilities intended to enhance the quality of life for City residents who are 50 years of age and over. It has seven members. Historic Resources Advisory Board The Historic Resources Advisory Board promotes the historic, educational, architectural, cultural, and economic welfare of the public through identification, preservation, restoration, and protection of Lake Oswego's structures, sites, objects, and districts of historic and cultural interest. It has seven members and one member under 18 years old. 3 Library Advisory Board The Library Advisory Board recommends written policies to govern the operation, use, and programs of the Library, and makes recommendations with respect to services and facilities. It has seven members and one member under 18 years old. Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Advisory Board The Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Advisory Board advises and assists the City Council and staff in the provision, operation, conservation and protection of the City's parks, open spaces, recreation facilities, community centers, programs and opportunities, natural resources and environmental quality for the health and well-being of the residents of Lake Oswego. It has nine members and up to two members under 18 years old. Planning Commission The Planning Commission holds public hearings and makes recommendations to the Council concerning Comprehensive Plan and Development Code amendments; applications for Plan and Zoning Map amendments; special district plans; neighborhood plans; review of the Capital Improvement Plan for consistency with the Comprehensive Plan; conducts studies and makes recommendations to the Council regarding matters such as growth management, transportation, protection of natural resources, etc.; and encourages citizen involvement in land use matters. It has seven members. The Planning Commission also serves as the Commission for Citizen Involvement charged with reviewing citizen involvement practices related to land use matters. Sustainability Advisory Board The Sustainability Advisory Board promotes the sustainability of the community as a whole, considers public and private actors and their effects on ecological, economic, and community systems. It has nine regular members plus up to two members under 18 years old. Transportation Advisory Board The Transportation Advisory Board reviews and makes recommendations on requests for neighborhood traffic devices in accordance with the Neighborhood Traffic Management Program. It has seven members and one member under 18 years old. Tourism Advisory Committee The Tourism Advisory Committee advises the Council and assists staff and community organizations in implementing tourism strategies, oversight and updating of the Tourism Action Plan and provide recommendations to the Council on the use of City hotel-motel tax dollars. It has nine regular members. 4 COORDINATION WITH COUNCIL, STAFF,AND OTHERS Boards and commissions make recommendations to the Council. The Council then accepts, rejects, or modifies those recommendations. The Council relies on the boards and commissions to increase the variety of viewpoints and talents available to approach City issues. By concentrating on specific areas, members can expand the level of expertise and can conduct detailed analyses that the Council itself may not have the time to pursue. Boards and commissions may adopt positions of advocacy within their specific spheres of interest. The Council's role, however, is to take into consideration the often varied and sometimes conflicting public needs and determine what will best serve the public good. The Council must weigh the effect of any given recommendation, not only on the particular area of interest, but on all other City goals and programs. Boards and Commissions advise the Council concerning policy, they do not create policy. It is the responsibility of the City Manager and the City staff to operate programs authorized by the Council. Boards and Commissions may offer findings and recommendations to the Council. The board or commission staff coordinator acts as liaison between the board and Council. In some cases, a Board or Commission may request direction from the Council in order to accomplish a task. The staff coordinator can work with the Board or Commission on the best way to do this. Reporting Completed Work Boards and Commissions provide complete, concise, and accurate reports to the Council. These documents should be prepared in such a manner that the Council fully understands the issue and what action, if any, it is to take. A report should include a clear recommendation, the reason for the recommendation, the facts on which it is based, points of disagreement within the Board or Commission, and a minority recommendation, if any. Quality Board and Commission reports and recommendations take into account the Council's need to view an issue from as wide an angle as possible. The Council must fully understand the relevant background and implications, including costs, of each action it is asked to take. Submission of quality reports will enable the Council to act knowledgeably and expeditiously on reports and will reduce the likelihood of the Council referring the report back to the board or commission for clarification. Council Liaison Each year the Council appoints a liaison from its members to each board and commission (see Council Liaison list in appendix). The purpose of the Council liaison is to provide a direct line of communication between the board or commission and the Council. The Council liaison and the chair of the affected committee has a joint obligation to keep the Council and the committee informed of relevant City or committee information. 5 ROLE OF COMMITTEE SUPPORT STAFF Each board or commission has at least one staff person assigned to the group. City staff perform the administrative and housekeeping functions outlined below and do not vote. These City employees also have a responsibility to assure that the committee is aware of laws and administrative processes affecting proposed policy and operational recommendations. Staff must be aware of the responsibility to represent overall Council priorities and administrative policies of the City. The staff coordinator's responsibility is to assist the committee in its functions and to represent the City of Lake Oswego. Other responsibilities include the following: • Provide professional and technical advice • Provide clerical assistance for the preparation and distribution of committee materials • Maintain public records created by the committee, including minutes, reports, recommendations, and letters, as required by state law (see "Retention of Public Records") • Prepare the committee agenda in consultation with the Chair • Notify committee members and the City Manager's Office of upcoming meetings • Prepare appropriate reports based on the committee's action for the Council agenda • Ensure adherence to the required Council report format and timetable for submittal • Secure meeting rooms for committee meetings • Assist in securing resources needed for the research and preparation of committee reports Relationship between Staff and the Committee City staff members should take the initiative to inform committee members about activities, projects, and work that is taking place elsewhere in the organization and among other committees. Staff should also present a balanced report on controversial issues, so that both positive and negative aspects can be readily identified. If a committee requests information or a report which requires an excessive amount of staff time, the committee should request City Manager or Department Director approval prior to pursuing the project. The committee should direct the staff person with regard to the urgency of the referral. Training Process for New Members The Chair works with the staff liaison to develop specialized orientation for new members. The orientation should include a review of this manual, recent minutes, current projects, applicable policies, contact information for staff and other members, meeting time/place, Council goals, and a budget overview. 6 PROCESS FOR BOARD AND COMMISSION GOALS AND WORK PLANS The Council meets with representatives of all the boards and commissions in a joint session each year. The purpose of the session is to provide Council with input regarding the boards and commissions prior year work programs and issues and to forward information regarding potential issues that may contribute to the Council's goal-setting work. Each January, the Council develops goals and objectives for the City to meet over the next fiscal year in an annual goal-setting session. Clear goals provide the foundation for the future success of this process. This goal statement and any other background documentation for clarifying the Council's priorities are provided to the boards and commissions. The boards and commissions are then charged with developing an annual work plan. The work plan must be consistent, relevant, and supportive of the Council's goals. PUBLIC MEETINGS Meetings Meetings must be held within the city limits of Lake Oswego and only at the place specified on the agenda. Once convened, such meetings may be adjourned to another location within the City if unusually large crowds or other circumstances warrant. Requirement to Meet in Public Virtually all meetings of governing bodies, which include standing and ad hoc committees, are open to the public in the State of Oregon. ORS 192.620 establishes Oregon's policy of open decision-making by governing bodies: "The Oregon form of government requires an informed public aware of the deliberations and decisions of governing bodies and the information upon which such decisions were made. It is the intent of ORS 192.610 to 192.690 that decisions of governing bodies be arrived at openly." Requirement to be Accessible to Public All public meetings must be accessible to people with disabilities. Wheelchair Access All committee meetings must be held at wheelchair-accessible locations. This includes the approach to the facility entry, path of travel within the facility, and restrooms. Communication Access All committees must provide communication access in the form of accommodation to members of the public so that they may have an equal opportunity to participate in and benefit from committee meetings. This particularly affects citizens who are vision or hearing impaired and may involve requests for such accommodations as providing meeting agendas in large print or Braille or the provision of a sign language interpreter at the meeting. 7 The City staff coordinator is responsible for arranging accommodations at no cost to the requesting individual. Staff asks that requests be made 48 hours prior to the meeting. Notice of Meetings The City of Lake Oswego produces a calendar of public meetings available on line. Staff is responsible for providing notice of the meeting by placing it on the website's Event Calendar. The Public Meetings Law requires that public notice be given of the time and place of meetings. This requirement applies to regular, special, and emergency meetings. The public notice requirements apply to any meetings of a governing body subject to the law, including committees, subcommittees, and advisory groups. A notice must be reasonably calculated to provide actual notice to the persons and the media that have stated in writing they wish to be notified of every meeting. Public Meetings Law also requires that the notice of any meeting, "include a list of the principal subjects anticipated to be considered at the meeting." This list should be specific enough to permit members of the public to recognize the matters in which they are interested. This requirement is generally met by the distribution of an agenda. The agenda does not need to go into detail about subjects scheduled for discussion or action, but it should be descriptive enough so that interested persons will get an accurate picture of the agenda topics. Agendas of public meetings are posted in City Hall and online at www.ci.oswego.or.us/meetings. The public can subscribe to an email distribution list to be notified when agendas are available. Closed Meetings Public Meetings Law authorizes governing bodies to meet in executive session in certain limited situations (ORS 192.600). The occasions when an advisory body may legally meet in closed session are rare. The City Attorney and the City Manager's Office must be consulted if a committee feels it must conduct a meeting in executive session. Public Hearings, Public Forums and Workshops Public hearings are a relatively formal proceeding and are legally required steps preceding action by a committee sitting as a quasi-judicial body. A public hearing must include specific elements, which are recorded in the minutes, such as testimony from an applicant, appellant, interested citizens or an introduction into the record of pertinent facts and findings. Public forums are an opportunity for committees to receive public input in a less formal atmosphere. It is a chance for citizens to ask questions and express support or concern for proposals being considered. Workshops are designed to elicit citizen input in the least formal manner, allowing maximum interaction between citizens and committee members. Frequently, workshops are held on a drop-in basis. The public can learn more about certain proposals and can register their 8 impressions of the ideas. Workshop sessions do not culminate in action at that meeting. Legally required actions or recommendations should be taken either at the next regular meeting or at another publicly announced date and time. Minutes Public Meetings Law requires that written minutes be taken at all meetings. Meeting minutes shall include at least the following: • members present • motions, proposals, resolutions, orders, ordinances, and measures proposed and their disposition • results of all votes, and the vote of each member by name • the substance of any discussion on any matter • a reference to any document discussed at the meeting Minutes need not be verbatim transcript, and the meeting does not have to be recorded unless otherwise required by law, although this is good practice. The minutes must give a true reflection of the matters discussed at the meeting and the views of the participants. Minutes are generally presented to the board or commission for approval at the next regular meeting (or within a reasonable time). The board or commission may, by motion, make corrections to the minutes. The official copies of minutes, agendas, resolutions, indexes, and exhibits are retained permanently. ETHICS Members of the City Council, Planning Commission, Development Review Commission, and the Historic Resources Advisory Board are required to file Annual Verified Statement of Economic Interest, with the Oregon Government Ethics Commission. Additional information is available from the Oregon Government Ethics Commission at: https://www.oregon.gov/ogec/Pages/default.aspx. 9 COUNCIL LIAISONS TO BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS 2022 50+ Advisory Board (4th Fri. 10:00 a.m.) Rachel Verdick Historic Resources Advisory Board (2nd Wed. 6 p.m.) Massene Mboup Library Advisory Board (2nd Wed. 7 p.m.) Rachel Verdick Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Advisory Board John Wendland (3rd Wed. 4:00 p.m.) Planning Commission (2nd & 4th Mon. 6:30 p.m.) Jackie Manz Transportation Advisory Board (every other 2nd Wed. 7 p.m.) Aaron Rapf Sustainability Advisory Board (3rd Mon. 6:30 p.m.) Daniel Nguyen Development Review Commission (15t & 3rd Mon. 7 p.m.) John Wendland Budget Committee (Meets as needed) No Liaison Tourism Advisory Committee (Meets as needed) John Wendland Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Advisory Board (4th Mon. 6:00 p.m.) Joe Buck Interview Coordinator(s) Joe Buck Massene Mboup Rachel Verdick 10 Article 12.50 Citizens Advisory Boards, Committees and Commissions.

The City Council may create standing citizen advisory boards, committees or commissions to aid the Council in the conduct of public affairs. The City Council may also create ad hoc citizen committees to accomplish a specific task or project. All standing citizen advisory boards, committees and commissions shall be governed by LOC Article 12.50, except that if application of a provision of LOC Article 12.50 conflicts with an applicable state statute, the state statute shall prevail. The specific enabling provisions for each standing advisory board, committee and commission are contained in LOC Article 12.51. (Ord. 2091, Enacted, 04/19/94) 12.50.010 Types of Advisory Boards, Committees and Commissions. 1. "Ad Hoc Committee" means a temporary committee appointed for a specific term to accomplish a specific task or project. Ad hoc citizen committees shall be established by resolution of the Council. The resolution shall set forth the term of the committee, the task or project to be accomplished, the time line for completion of the task or the project, and such other direction as the Council deems appropriate. 2. "Advisory Board" means a standing committee, that is not required by state law, appointed by the Council to advise and make recommendations to the Council regarding topics as specified in the Committee's enabling provision. Advisory Boards shall be created by general ordinance amending LOC Article 12.51. 3. "Commission" means a standing committee that is required by state law or to which the Council has delegate final decision making authority. Commissions shall be created by a general ordinance amending LOC Article 12.51, except where a commission is appointed pursuant to an independent state mandate. 11 4. State statutory committees: Where state law requires a committee to have a specific name, such as in the case of the Budget Committee, that name shall supersede the distinctions created by this section. (Ord. 2091, Enacted, 04/19/94.) 12.50.015 Appointment,Term, Removal of Members. 1. The City Council shall appoint persons to positions or vacancies on advisory boards, committees or commissions by resolution. The Council may interview or otherwise screen applicants for such positions as it deems appropriate. 2. Qualifications for appointment and term of office for a position on a City advisory board, committee or commission shall be as provided in the enabling provision for such board, committee or commission in LOC Article 12.51. If a position becomes vacant before the expiration of the term, the Council shall appoint a person to fill the vacancy for the remainder of the term. Initial terms for a newly created advisory board, committee or commission shall be staggered in the resolution of appointment so that a majority of the positions do not become vacant in the same year and so that an equal or approximately equal number of positions become vacant each year. The term of office for positions on an ad hoc committee shall be established in the resolution creating the committee. If a member of an advisory board, committee or commission is qualified pursuant to the enabling provision at the time of appointment but later ceases to be qualified, he or she may nonetheless complete the appointed term. If the Council fails to appoint a successor prior to the expiration of a term of office, the predecessor shall continue in office until a successor is duly appointed. 3. Upon the annual expiration of membership terms for a board, committee or commission, the Council, in addition to appointing members for new terms, may also appoint up to two alternates to fill any membership position that becomes vacant before the expiration of its term during the following year. 4. Upon filling a vacancy in a membership position with one of the alternates, the Council may appoint an additional alternate to serve for the balance of the year preceding the next annual expiration of membership terms for that board, committee or commission. 5. Except for appointments to the Planning Commission and the Development Review Commission, no person shall be appointed to a position on a particular board, committee or commission for more than two consecutive full terms. The Council may, in its discretion, make exceptions to this limitation in the event of extenuating circumstances including, but not limited to, occasions when a large change in board membership creates a need to retain experienced members. 6. Except as provided in LOC 12.51.025, no person shall be appointed to serve simultaneously on more than one of the standing boards, committees or commissions established under LOC Article 12.51. 7. When making appointments, the Council shall consider the geographic diversity of the membership of boards, committees and commissions. 12 8.

Unless governed by a specific state mandate, advisory boards, committees and commissions are appointed pursuant to the Council's authority and shall have only those powers and functions as expressly delegated by the Council.

Annual meetings of related advisory boards, committees or commissions may be held jointly, as the Council deems appropriate. 3. Council Liaison. Each year the Council may appoint a liaison from its members to each advisory board, committee and commission.
