Council direction is that the Commission be advisory regarding park design and function only, and staff recommends the Commission be named the Community Services Commission. Park Advisory Commission Page Two Staff recommends that Commissioners should be Tustin residents since they will be advising Council on policy and fiscal matters that allocate Tustin tax dollars. In addition, staff recommends that Commissioners have overlapping two-year terms in order to insure continuity on the five-member Commission. In order to attract the best candidates, staff requests that Council open the application process to all Tustin residents with interviews held by Council. Once the Council gives staff direction on the above items, Community Services' staff will meet with the City Attorney's staff to initiate the drafting of the necessary Ordinance. Royleen A.
