Ayala, City C erk AUG 1.0 2017 Originator: Matthew Ceballos. Deputy City Clerk CITY CLERK'S OFFICE RE: Ordinance to Abolish the Public Benefits Resource Committee Recommendation A. Find that approval of the proposed action is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") review, because it is a continuing administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment, and therefore does not constitute a "project' as defined by CEQA Guidelines section 15378; and B. Conduct a Public Hearing; and C. Approve the first reading, and adopt at a subsequent meeting, an Ordinance repealing Section 2.3 of Article I of Chapter 2 of the Vernon Municipal Code, abolishing the Public Benefits Resource Committee. Background On January 19, 2016, a presentation was brought before Council with the purpose of familiarizing Council with the functions of the various Vernon City Council appointed governing bodies — commissions and committees. The City operates the following governing bodies: 1. Green Vernon Commission 2. Business & Industry Commission 3. Vernon CommUNITY Fund Grant Committee 4. Vernon Housing Commission 5. Vernon Housing Authority (Abolished as of 2016) 6. Public Benefits Resource Committee 7. Industrial Development Authority 8. Vernon Historic Preservation Society 9. Library Board of Trustees Page 1 of 2 Staff conducted thorough research of each entity. The research included reviewing the following from the inception of the various governing bodies: resolutions, public meeting agendas and minutes, and City Municipal Code. After reviewing the information, staff determined that three (3) of the governing bodies, Vernon Housing Authority (VHA), Public Benefits Resource Committee, and the Industrial Development Authority, were inactive and dormant in nature with no business being presented before those bodies. In further dialogue with various staff members, it was concluded that other governing bodies had been established more recently that were addressing some of the items that would have otherwise been brought to these aforementioned bodies, thereby making these older entities no longer necessary and obsolete. The VHA was abolished by Resolution No. 2016-34 on June 21, 2016. Public Benefits Resource Committee (PBRC) The PBRC is a governing body that is cited under Section 2.3 of Article I of Chapter 2 of the City's Municipal Code. It was established in 2004 via Ordinance No. 1097. The original purpose of the PBRC was to investigate and recommend to the City Council investments in renewable energy resources and technologies consistent with the provisions of Assembly Bill No. 1890. At present, the PBRC is dormant and its original intended purpose no longer applies to the City. City staff is responsible for investigating and recommending investments in renewable energy resources and technologies to the City Council. In light of the foregoing, Staff recommends that the PBRC be abolished. If in the future a need for a PBRC once again becomes necessary/appropriate, the City can establish a new PBRC that is appropriate for the then current needs of the City and structured in a way that is most responsive to the City's then current needs. Because the PBRC has no present purpose, Staff recommends the adoption of the proposed ordinance abolishing the PBRC. Fiscal Impact There is no fiscal impact for the abolishment of the Public Benefits Resource Committee. Attachment(s) 1. Public Hearin Ng otice 2.
