Background Information:
Two issues - first is keeping all of the slots filled per the current requirements and second is that it's very weighted towards downtown and while we do spend a lot of time on downtown parking issues, our responsibility does cover the entire city so we'd like to change one of the downtown-specific to an at-large.
Current membership per Sec. 2.172
The board will be comprised of seven voting members, and two non-voting city council members. The city council shall appoint all members of the board. When considering appointments to the board, the city council shall endeavor to appoint individuals who represent the variety of downtown stakeholders, and who meet the following qualifications: One member recommended by the Main Street Advisory Board, one member recommended by the Downtown Association of San Marcos Board, one member who is a business owner within the Downtown Parking Benefit District, one member who is a property owner within the Downtown Parking Benefit District, one member who is a resident within the Downtown Parking Benefit District, two members at-large, and two non-voting city council members.
Instead of one business owner, one property owner, and one resident downtown, and two members at-large, we recommend TWO from the pool of [downtown property owner, business owner, and resident] and THREE members at-large. This allows for one more resident from another area of our city.
