City of Oak Creek

Common Council Report

Meeting Date:  2/19/07

Item No.:        

Recommendation:  That the Common Council concur with modifications to the Boards, Commissions and Committees Standard Appointment Procedures and Application form.

Background:  At the 2/6/07 meeting, the consensus of the Council was to modify the standard appointment procedures for persons seeking appointment to a board or commission, to include a police record check.  The police record check would be conducted on initial appointment, with a follow-up check prior to re-appointment.  No record checks would be required for persons appointed to ad hoc committees.

An additional item was added that such persons shall be current in all obligations and claims to the City of Oak Creek, such as personal property taxes and invoices. 

The application form has been modified to include sufficient personal information to conduct a record check, for the applicant to list any convictions other than moving traffic violations, and an additional signature by the applicant consenting to a police record check.

Fiscal Impact:  The cost of a police record check is approximately $5.00 per person.
