Councilor Peterson I understand that you are going to in councilor was his absence address this item? Yes. Thank you. Council president, colleagues, do you recognize this item? Because it's a companion bill to the Metropolitan Parks District, Resolution 43 that we approved last week. Councilor 1 to 0 098 merges the two official volunteer run organizations that oversee the activity of our Parks Department and the Metropolitan Parks District. That's the Board of Commissioners, the Park Board and the Park District Oversight Committee. Piddock In order to more efficiently utilize the time, knowledge and expertize of volunteers and address ambiguity and overlap between the Park Board and Peter, the co-chairs of both organizations requested that the two entities be combined. Doing so will allow all members to consider resources in the full context of overall funding policies and needs for Seattle Parks and Recreation. The newly combined board will retain the representative 15 member structure of the Park District Oversight Committee, and this body will be responsible for the traditional duties of the Park Board and oversight of programs, policies and reporting specific to the Seattle Parks District. The combined board will also be renamed the Board of Parks and Recreation Commissioners. This is the companion bill to Resolution 43 that we reviewed and unanimously approved in last Monday's Metropolitan Park District Governing Board meeting. The city council being the partner in this Interlocal agreement also needs to take parallel action. Current term appointments will not be interrupted by this action.
