Body
DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION
The Parks Division recommends the Parks and Recreation Commission cancel the regularly scheduled December meeting and provide staff with dates in December for a special meeting to hold a workshop.

DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
Due to the holidays, the Parks Division recommends cancelling the regularly scheduled meeting on December 19th, 2019. Typically this meeting is cancelled annually due to declined attendance.

Per the meeting held on September 19th, 2019, the Commission made a motion for a special meeting to be held to discuss the Parks and Recreation Commission Ordinance, the Commission's roles and responsibilities, and agenda items. Since that date, staff has also recommended that the Commission review the Brown Act, communication, budget process, master plans, et cetera. Staff also intends on having County Counsel present for this workshop. Due to scheduling conflicts and the addition of topics for this workshop, staff is requesting to hold the workshop in December.

Commissioners should come prepared to offer their preferred dates for the workshop.

ALTERNATIVES
The Commission could choose to not cancel the regularly scheduled meeting and would need to find an alternative date for the workshop to ensure all Commissioners can attend the workshop meeting.
