BACKGROUND: In 1979 the Board of Commissioners adopted an ordinance creating a parks and recreation department, a parks and recreation advisory board, and a director of parks and recreation. Since that time and particularly in the last five years, numerous changes to the department, advisory board, and position have been implemented. Among the changes, the Board of Commissioners changed the name of the department to the Department of Environment, Agriculture, Parks and Recreation; the Manager merged the position of director of parks and recreation with the director of environmental programs; and the Board of Commissioners changed the rules and procedures governing and directing the parks and recreation advisory board (now named the Parks and Recreation Council). The proposed amendment addresses and codifies these changes as shown in the attached draft amendment. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact to the County associated with the amendment of the Code of Ordinances. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board: 1) Adopt the Resolution Amending Chapter 26 of the Code of Ordinances of Orange County; and 2) Authorize staff to make any typographical or other non - substantive corrections as may be needed prior to and during the process of submission of the amended ordinance to Municode.
