MEMORANDUM

TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL
FROM: RASHAD M. YOUNG, CITY MANAGER /s/
DOCKET TITLE:
TITLE
Consideration of a Request to Vacate a Position on the Alexandria Waterfront Commission.
BODY
_________________________________________________________________
ISSUE: Request from the Acting Chair of the Alexandria Waterfront Commission to vacate a
position on the Alexandria Waterfront Commission (Attachment).
RECOMMENDATION: That City Council declare as vacant the position for a citizen
Representative from Park Planning District I and authorize the City Clerk to advertise the
vacancy.
DISCUSSION: Section 2-4-7(i)(1) of the City Code requires all board and commission
members to attend at least 75 percent of the yearly meetings of the bodies on which they serve,
and authorizes City Council to vacate any position if Council determines that a member has
missed a sufficient number of meetings such that the 75 percent attendance requirement cannot
be met.
The Waterfront Commission will meet 11 times this fiscal year. Acting Chair of the Alexandria
Waterfront Commission Charlotte Hall has requested that Trey Hanbury be removed from the
Commission because Mr. Hanbury has six unexcused absences since he was appointed on May
8, 2012 and will not be able to meet the 75 percent attendance requirement. Therefore, I
recommend that Council vacate this position and authorize the City Clerk to advertise the
vacancy.
FISCAL IMPACT: None.
ATTACHMENT: March 21 E-mail from Charlotte Hall to Rose Boyd
STAFF: Rose Williams Boyd, Executive Secretary for Boards and Commissions
