ORDINANCE TO CHANGE TITLE OF THE PARKS AND
RECREATION COMMISSION, DEPARTMENT, AND
DIRECTOR.
Parks, Recreation & Community Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council adopt an ordinance, entitled "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING CHAPTER 2.28 OF THE
SANTA CLARITA MUNICIPAL CODE PERTAINING TO THE TITLE OF PARKS AND
RECREATION COMMISSION, DEPARTMENT AND DIRECTOR."
BACKGROUND
Since its inception, the Parks and Recreation Commission has heard and advised staff on a
variety of issues relating to parks and recreation. At the time the Commission was originally
formed, the department was called the Department of Parks and Recreation. When the
department was renamed the Department of Parks, Recreation, and Community Services several
years ago, the Commission continued to act as an advocate for the entire department, including
the Community Services Division. At this time, the Community Services Division does not
appear in the Commission's name.
On April 3, 2033, the Commission considered including "Community Services" in the
Commission title, and overwhelmingly expressed support for this title change. Any changes to
the name of the Commission require formal approval by the City Council.
On June 24, 2003, the City Council conducted a first reading of the ordinance and passed it to
tonight's second reading of the ordinance.
