Body
Issue/Request:
Over the last three years staff has reviewed several of the City’s citizen boards, committees and commissions against the 2020 Ignite! Strategic Plan Critical Success Factors, and determined that in some instances duties and authorities of these boards, committees and commissions were overlapping or redundant. To increase efficiency and administrative support of boards and commissions, staff has recommended that the Human Services Advisory Board, Health Education Advisory Board and Livable Streets Advisory Board be combined to form a new Wellness Commission. To accomplish this goal, it is necessary to repeal certain ordinances and resolutions in order to effectively form the new Wellness Commission and sunset the Human Services Advisory Board, Health Education Advisory Board and Livable Streets Advisory Board.

Administration. of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Lee’s Summit, Missouri, consisting of two new sections related to the establishment of a new Wellness Commission and repealing certain ordinances, resolutions and sections of the municipal code in order to consolidate certain existing boards and commissions into the newly created Wellness Commission.
