;ECREATION AND PARXg COMSSION
ORIENTATION
Almost all volunteers serving on a park and recreation
lvisory commission ask themselves the following questions:
a. 'What is my role.
b. What are my responsibilities.
c. How do we deal with another commission member?
d. What is my relationship with the staff?
e. How do I relate to the community?
Advisory commissions are established to provide a
immunication link between the community and the City
)uncil and the Recreation (Community Services Division) and
irks (Public Works Department) staff as the agency strives
wards contributions to a better quality life. The commission is
lvisory in nature and its input, usually is in the form of
commendations to the City Council or staff, is considered in
,aluating effectiveness of programs and policies.
The source document for commission authority is the
dinance. 7n addition, you have the "Introduction to
-,creation and Parks Commission" and the Rules of Operation.
Relationship with fellow commission members:
a. The association with fellow commission members will
probably be your most important relationship as you serve on the
commission.
b. Before talking about relationships, it is well to point out that each
Of you comes from various backgrounds - educational, occupational,
religious, social, economic, physical and cultural - and we should be
aware that these differences do exist.
c. We must also recognize that the reason for serving on the
commission will vary and, perhaps, some will have a special interest.
Each member will contribute in his own way and is an important part
of the decision process. We should not expect every commission
member to give his time, talent, and knowledge to the same degree.
Some will give more and others will give less, but in the end the
community will benefit.
Bearing this in mind, the following relationships may
serve as a guideline:
a) We must always respect the other individual's viewpoint even
though it may be opposite our own.
b) We must allow the other individual to articulate his or her views
and then attempt to make an objective evaluation of those views.
c) Evaluation of our fellow commission member's viewpoint should
be based on what is best for the total community and what is best for
all concerned.
d) There will be times when political action among the commission is
apparent and we must strive to minimize that whenever possible.
e) We must be open and honest at all times.
f) Each commission member has a responsibility to recognize new
comm mion members and see that they are made welcome, become
oriented, and receive training.
Relationship with City Council
a. Individual contacts with the City Council to discuss problems are
neither encouraged nor discouraged. This will have to be handled on
an individual basis. Should a controversy arise within the
commission, counsel and guidance are available from staff as well as
from individual members of the City Council. However, it would be
um�thic-il for an individual commissioner to attempt to influence or
p::smde the City Council to assume a posture which may be in
opeposition to the commission as a whole. Should a split opinion exist
or. commission action, it would be appropriate for a majority and
m'. nonty report to accompany the recommendation to the City
Cw,ncil.
r--1
We expect the individual commission member to
recognize the following:
a) The commission members are appointed by the City Council.
b) The commission member has an obligation to serve the public.
c) The contact with the City Council should always be open and never
used to circumvent the staff or commission.
d) The commission should not knowingly and openly embarrass the
stz f or the City Council.
e) The commission should render as much assistance as possible to
the City Council and staff and avoid placing them in an untenable
p.)sition.
f) The commission should assist the City Council in developing
public trust in the advisory commission system.
g` The commission should be sensitive to City priorities and know
when to take a stand. There are times when, for the good of the
overall City, it may require adjustment of the priority level of a
p=.;-ticular project.
h` The commission falls under the restrictions of the Brown Act
Nverebv decisions and recommendations can only be made at a duly
co:istituted meeting which is open to the public.
. Relatic.aship with Human Services Department Staff
a..✓� i :uierstandings and problems can develop in the relationship
h.:tween the staff and commission if an enthusiastic member attempts
to take aboard those duties which are not within the framework of the
c("nni:sion action. Each commission must be alert to the difference
hc,:ween advisory, policy -setting, and doing work.
b. At times a commissioner may be asked to "do" the work as
v:.' untcer. It is doubly important that when this occurs the difference
h:: rece-sized and be communicated to assure there is no question
about the role on the advisory body and the individual's volunteer
as.cigriment.
With this in mind, the following
supportive and advisory to staff
may be used as a guideline:
commission role,
and City objectives,
a) Contact should be with the City staff member assigned to the
commission rather than to other staff people. The individual
commissioners should feel free to make a contact with the higher level
supervision, such as the City Manager, and/or City Council, providing
the assigned staff person is also notified of this contact.
b) Official contacts with staff members should clearly be in the
f.-amewo.k of the commission assignment.
c) It is importsit for commissioners to know the recreation facilities.
A visitation program both on an unscheduled and a scheduled basis
will allow me nbers to become fully knowledgeable of the program,
earl: aree5, eq.tipment, facility use, etc.
d) Commissio:is should not ask for individual reports, favors, or
s?ecial consideration.
e) Commissioners should realize the assigned'staff person works with
the commission and reports to the Director of Human services. The
Director repor's directly to the City Manager. He or she is limited in
s.ope of �iuthc riry to carry out recommendations.
Intra-A cyencN, Relationships
Th-, ,;u, cess of the Human Services Department effort in a
community is directly proportional to the level of priority it attains in
&.e City o?eraion. Governing body and administrative perceptions on
t::e iniFc: ancc and contribution of recreation services to the
community's cuality of life will inevitably influence decisions on
b idgct, pi
anni:ig, manpower, land use, policies and procedures.
7aerefore the interdependence among City departments/commissions
c:.nnot, r. )r m ast not, be ignored or taken lightly.
F The ae-isoi , commission is in a position to provide for significant
positive relationships that can contribute to an understanding of
r- creadc- and narks services and its role in contributing to a better
C':a !V C° ife.
Guidelines include:
a) Know relationships and role of various departments within City.
b) Be willing to provide leadership for developing and maintaining a
c!i_mate fr cooperation among various City commissions.
Inter -Agency Relationships
a. No person is an island. No one person, family, group, or
government agency is sufficient by themselves. Interdependence is
not only a way of life but necessary for survival. So it is with
recreation, parlLs, and conservation forces.
b. An eff motive commission will recognize the relationships outside
the City l:eriphery can contribute to improving the quality of
community life.
Interaction may include:
a) Simiia. Pa:' JRecreation agencies at local, county and state levels.
b) Govenunental agencies responsible for Park/ Recreation in
constitue.:cy area; i.e., school, city, county, district, state, federal.
c) Assoc:.tions of groups with similar goals and objectives --
CaliforriL Part and Recreation Society, National Recreational and
Parks Asc;ociation, League of California Cities.
d) Private enterprise.
c) Financ'ul �ioups.
f) Non-profit and charitable organizations.
Commission elationships with the Public
a. It is im ortant to recognize that as a commission member your
actions L.: i comments are often interpreted to be that of the
commission, the staff, or the City. A commission member's
a,mment to care press or other public utterances are sometimes
misinterpreted even though you state that you are speaking for
yourself. It may become at odds with the commission goals,
ebjectivc or overall policy.
• 0
b. The advisory commission is expected to fill the two major
functions: serving as a communication link between community, staff
and City Council; and providing feedback to the public with respect to
City philosophies and policies, as well as issues that are being
considered by the City Council.
The fAm ing guidelines are offered:
a) Thci 'should be no promises to the public that are binding on the
comtnir..ion, staff, or City Council.
b) Co:o,-ients to the public and to the press must be factual.
c) The c =='ssion members have an obligation to listen to comments
or com ' aims of the public.

board or to the membership meeting and are
not authorized to act on their own in the
name of the organization.
Officers
The president
❑ supervises the conduct of the organza.
tion's business and activities;
❑ serves, ex oficio, on all but the nominat-
ing committee; and
❑ presides at meetings.
The vice-president
❑ acts in place of the president when neces-
sary and presides at meetings when the presi-
dent temporarily vacates the chair. In the
absence of the president, the vice-president
should not change rules, cannot fill vacan-
cies required to be filled by the president and
does not serve as an ex oQ"icio member of
committees;
❑ upon the death or retirement of the presi-
dent, assumes all the duties and privileges of
the president, unless the bylaws provide an-
other method of filling the vacancy.
In organizations with more than one vice-
president, these duties and responsibilities
are assumed by the first vice-president.
The secretary
❑ is the recording officer;
❑ handles correspondence;
❑ issues notices of meetings;
❑ informs those elected or appointed to of-
fice or committees;
❑ receives and files committee reports; and
❑ keeps the minutes of meetings.
At each meeting the secretary should have
the minute book, a copy of the bylaws, a
book on parliamentary procedure and a list of
the unfinished business from the previous
meeting.
The treasurer
❑ receives funds;
❑ deposits them in banks approved by the
board; and
❑ pays bills for expenses that have been
authorized.
If any appreciable sums of money are in-
volved, the treasurer should be bonded to
protect the organization from loss. It is
customary for the treasurer to report to the
board at each of its meetings and to make a
full financial report to the annual meeting or
convention. (In larger organizations this re-
port should be reviewed by an independent
auditor. If the auditor's report is available at
the time of the annual meeting or conven-
tion, it should be presented immediately
after the treasurer's report. Adoption of the
auditor's report, on motion, signifies accept-
ance of the treasurer's report.)
Meetings
At all meetings (referred to in Robert's Rules
as "assemblies") it is up to the presiding offi-
cer to use the rules of parliamentary proce-
dure appropriately so that good order and
reasonable decorum are maintained and the
business of the meeting goes forward. At
times, the technical rules of parliamentary
procedure may be relaxed as long as the meet.
ing accomplishes its purpose and the rights of
absentees and minorities are protected.
Conventions and large meetings are con.
ducted more formally than the meetings of
small boards and committees.
The role of the presiding officer
The presiding officer (chair) should:
❑ Be ready to tall the meeting to order at
the time set.
❑ Follow the agenda and clarify what is
happening and what is being voted on at all
times.
❑ Deal firmly with whispering, commotion
and frivolous or delaying debate and
motions.
❑ See that debate is confined to the merits
of the question and that personal comments
are avoided. No one should speak more than
twice on a subject, and no one should speak a
second time until all who wish to speak have
had a chance to do so.
❑ Talk no more than necessary. Except in
small boards and committees, the presiding
officer should not enter the debate without
giving up the chair to a substitute until the
motion under debate has been voted on.
❑ Remain calm and deal fairly with all
sides regardless of personal opinion. To pre-
serve this impartiality, the presiding officer
abstains from voting except by ballot or to
cast the deciding vote on an issue.
Order of business
A minimum number (quorum), as prescribed
in the bylaws, must be present before busi-
ness can be legally transacted. The presiding
officer should determine that there is a
quorum before beginning the meeting. Every
organization is free to decide the order in
which its businesswill be conducted,but most
agendas follow a standard pattern:
1. Call to order.
Z. Minutes are read by the secretary and
corrections requested. The presiding officer
says: If there are no corrections the minutes stand
approved as read
3. Treasurer's Report is given and questions
called for: The Treasurer's Report will be f kd.
4. Reports of officers, the board and stand-
ing committees. Recommendations in re-
ports should be dealt with as motions at this
point.
1 5. Reports of special committees.
6. Unfinished business. Items left over
from the previous meeting are brought up in
turn by the presiding officer.
7. New business: Is there any new business?
8. Program. The program chairperson is
called upon to introduce a speaker, film or
other presentation.
9. Announcements.
10. Adjournment: Is there any further busi-
ness? (Pause) The meeting is adjourned
Motions
Business is conducted by acting on motions.
A subject is introduced by a main motion.
Once this has been seconded and stated by
the presiding officer, nothing else should be
taken up until it is disposed of. Long and
involved motions should be submitted in
writing. Once a motion has been stated, the
mover may not withdraw it without the con-
sent of the meeting. Most motions must be
seconded.
While a main motion is being considered,
other parliamentary motions, which affect
either the main motion or the general con-
duct of the meeting, may be made. The ones
most frequently used are described in gen-
eral below, but it should be noted that there
are exceptions and modifications that cannot
be included in this brief text.
1. Amend. Debatable; majority vote
Used when the intention is to change, add or
4
omit words in the main motion.
Amend the amendment: Used to change, add
or omit words in the fast amendment. 'This
motion cannot itself be amended.
Method: The first vote is on the amendment
to the amendment. The second vote is on the
first amendment either as changed or as orig-
inally proposed, depending on the first vote.
The third vote is on the main motion either as
introduced or as amended.
2. Refer. Debatable; majority vote
If a motion becomes too complicated
through amendments or if more information
is needed, a motion may be made to refer it to
a committee for study or redrafting. This
committee must report back or act as in-
structed.
3. Postpone. Debatable; majority vote
Consideration of a motion can be delayed
until a more suitable time, until other deci-
sions have been made or until more informa-
tion is available by a motion to postpone to a
stated future time.
4. Lay on the table. Not debatable;
majority vote
I move that uee table this motion. This post-
pones consideration in such a way that the
motion can be taken up again in the near
future if a majority decides to "take it from
the table."
5. The previous question. Not debatable;
two-thirds vote
1 move the previous question. This motion is
used to end debate that has become lengthy
or repetitious. When it is seconded, the pre-
siding officer immediately puts the question
on closing debate. If this receives a two-
thirds vote, the pending motion is voted on
at once without further discussion.
6. Reconsider. Usually debatable;
majority vote
A vote may be reconsidered through this
motion, which must be made on the same
day or the day following the vote by someone
who voted on the prevailing side. A motion
can be reconsidered only once. The first vote
is on whether the motion should be recon-
sidered. If this passes, the second vote is on
the motion itself.
7. Point of order and appeal.
A member who feels the rules are not being
followed may call attention to the breach by
rising and saying: Point of order. The chair
says: State your point of order. Upon hearing
it, the chair may say: Your point is well taken,
or Your point is not well taken.
One dissatisfied with the ruling may appeal
to the meeting for a final decision: Shall the
decision of the chair be sustained? This appeal is
debatable, and the presiding officer may
enter the debate without giving up the chair.
A majority of no votes is necessary to reverse
the ruling; a tie sustains it.
8. Questions and inquiries.
Whenever necessary, advice may be asked as
to correct procedures (parliamentary in.
quiry), facts may be requested (point of in-
formation), or a change may be sought for
comfort or convenience (question of privi-
lege). The presiding officer responds to the
question or refers it to the proper person.
9. Adjourn. Usually not debatable;
majority vote
If the time set for adjournment has arrived or
there is no further business, the presiding
officer declares the meeting adjourned with-
out waiting for a formal motion. A member
may move to adjourn at any time except
when a speaker has the floor or a vote is in
process. If the motion carries, the meeting is
immediately adjourned.
Nbting
The vote needed to pass a motion or elect an
official is based on the votes actually cast,
unless the bylaws or rules provide otherwise.
Thus, a majority is more than half of those
voting; abstentions and blank ballots are dis-
regarded.
❑ By using general consent, a formal vote
can be avoided on routine matters where
there is no opposition. The presiding officer
says: If there is no objection (pause) . . .
and declares the decision made.
❑ A voice vote (aye and no) is common
practice but should not be used where more
than a majority is needed.
❑ A show of hands is a good alternative in
small groups.
❑ If unsure of the result, the presiding offi-
cer should order a rising vote or an actual
count. If this is not done, a member can
insist upon a rising vote by calling out "divi-
sion"; a count can be forced only by a motion
made, seconded and approved by a majority
vote.
❑ A motion for a ballot (secret written
vote) can be made if the bylaws do not al-
ready require one. This motion is not debat-
able and requires a majority vote.
Nominations and elections
Normally, a nominating process is used for
elections, although any eligible member may
be elected whether nominated or not. Most
organizations use a nominating committee to
prepare a slate of nominees for the offices to
be filled. Service on a nominating commit-
tee does not prevent a member from becom-
ing a nominee.
After presentation of the nominating com-
mittee's report to the assembly, the presiding
officer calls for nominations from the floor.
Many organizations require that the consent
of the nominee be obtained in advance to
avoid a futile election. Seconds are not nec-
essary for either committee nominations or
nominations from the floor.
10
When all nominations appear to have been
made, the presiding officer declares that
nominations are closed —or a motion to this
effect may be made. It is not debatable and
requires a two-thirds vote. A motion to re-
open nominations requires a majority vote.
The method of voting is usually fixed in the
bylaws. A ballot is the normal procedure if
there is more than one nominee for an office.
If there are several nominees and the bylaws
do not provide for election by a plurality vote
(that is, the largest number, but not necessar-
ily more than half of the votes cast), several
ballots or votes may be needed before one
candidate achieves a majority.
Where election is by ballot, the presiding
officer appoints tellers (or an election com-
mittee) to collect and count the votes. The
tellers' report, giving the number of votes
cast for each nominee, is read aloud and
handed to the presiding officer. The presid-
ing officer rereads the report and declares the
election of each official separately.
A postscript to the presiding officer:
The rules of parliamentary procedure are
meant to help, not hinder. Applied with
common sense, they should not frustrate the
meeting or entangle it in red tape. Retain
control at all times, give clear explanations,
and keep things as simple as possible. Good
advice from the chair as to the wording of
motions and the best way to proceed will
avoid needless complications. When in
doubt, your rule should be: Respect the
wishes of the majority, protect the minority
and do what seems fair and equitable.

RELATIONSHIP WITH GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS
"PARR AND RECREATION SERVICES WILL HOT BE VIEWED AS A
NEEDED SERVICE WITH FIGS PRIORITY CONCERNS UNTIL POLITICAL
DECISIONS HATERS ARE CONVINCED THAT PARK AND RECREATION
RESOURCES ARE HORS, MUCH NORE, THAN PLACES TO HAVE A LITTLE
FUN AND GADS OR TO LEARN THE NAMES OF BUTTERFLIES AND DEAD
GENERALS."
The quality of life within a specific community is
greatly affected and often limited by the political
environment. The commissioner's persuasiveness and
influence on the legislative process, whether local, county,
state or national, can enhance recreation's place in the
total milieu of provided public services.
The commission should be aware that elected officials
are sensitive to political involvement which may be viewed
as their prerogative.. and within their purview. Clarification
and understanding of these sensitivities should be
considered to avoid misunderstanding:
GUIDELINES FOR IHVOLVENENT INCLUDE:
1. Contacts with elected officials on behalf of the agency
should be made only with knowledge and approval of
the appointing authority.
2. Personal political involvement should be influential
and supportive of agency objectives.
3. Commission members should support legislative efforts
favorable to parks, recreation and conservation
through:
a. Active participation in election,
initiatives, referendums.
b. • Group and individual contacts with local
legislators.
C. Appearances before legislative bodies; i.e.
hearing committees, etc.
d. Being available to make presentations to
local groups and organizations.
4. The commission should not be used for personal
political gain, favors, or influence.
5. Commission members may act as liaison with city,
county, state and national elected officials on behalf
of the agency when coordinated through the appointing
authority.

y l MVIFIT PUBLICSAFETY
parks and recreation programs benefit public safety by giving
youth a number of positive, healthy, constructive activities.
• Consider that 40% of a youngster's time is open to choices —
positive or negative.
• There are more than 10 million households in California, 36% of
them with children under 18 years of age.
• Park and recreation agencies provide more activities for youth
than anyone else in town except the public schools.
iv"_
W� /SON OR PARKS?
CRMMON OR REST/TUT/ON?
-iv _ -
Parks and recreation programs are an effective alternative to
help deter rising crime and gang activity. Experts agree that a lack
of positive alternatives is one of the KEY reasons why young
people join gangs.
• Gang -related problems currently cost California taxpayers about
$1 billion each year.
• One in 13 youths is a victim of a violent crime and are at greater
risk of violence than adults.
• In one district, five recreation centers and a sports complex
used $13,000 of a court grant to keep 231,405 youths busy
evenings and weekends.
• A documented midnight basketball program caused as much as
a 55% reduction in juvenille crime calls to the police. And with
170,000 participants, the program cost pennies per youth.
z HEALTHY PARKS PAY DIVIDENDS
RJOACK TO THE COMMUNITY
communities receive the economic benefit of providing positive
alternatives and contributing to a healthy community.
• Youth and young adults are employed by parks and recreation
agencies in numerous ways. For many, it is their first venture
into the workplace, teaching beneficial lifelong skills.
• Well -maintained parks substantially improve property values
of nearby residents and contribute to the community's sense
of identity and pride.
• Park & recreation agencies network with other service providers
to develop healthy children, neighborhoods and communities.
• For what it costs for the California Youth Authority to incarcerate
youth, reasonably financed recreation and counseling could save
taxpayers tens of millions of dollars annually.

As deemed appropriate by the Community Services Commission.
BACKGROUND:
The Community Services Commission, at the March 6, 2000 Commission meeting,
determined that Commissioners would conduct follow-up calls to those invited to the
Youth Workshop on Wednesday, April 12, if they had not responded by March 27,
2000.
Staff provided each Commissioner with the contact list of those that had not
responded. Attachment A is an updated list of those responding to the invitation to
attend.
Commissioner Pedersen -Nadler conducted the contacts with students at La Quinta
High School, as well as contacts with the other high schools in the Coachella Valley.
Staff will arrive at the La Quinta Senior Center at 5:45 on April 12 to begin setting up
for the event. The event begins at 7:00 p.m. with the opening of the Special
Community Services Commission meeting. The Associated Student Body Officers of
La Quinta High School will be responsible for leading the discussions. Staff will assist
in any way that may be needed.
Attachment B is the agenda for the Youth Workshop. Because this is a special
meeting of the Community Services Commission, the meeting will be noticed to the
public in the regular manner.
Light refreshments will be available throughout the workshop.
SACommunity Services\CSComm\CSCRPT.006.wpd
The alternatives available to the Commission include:
1. Approve Commissioners calling to confirm the invitees for the April 12 event;
or
2. Do not approve Commissioners calling to confirm the invitees for the April 12
event; or
3. Provia staff with alternate direction.
