SUBJECT: Establishment of a City Council Ad Hoc Committee to create a cooperative
agreement between the City and the Friends of OASIS with the appointment
of two Council members by the Mayor.
ISSUE
Should the Council create the City Council Ad Hoc OASIS Cooperative Agreement Committee?
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution creating the Ad Hoc OASIS Cooperative Agreement Committee with the
Mayor to appoint two members of the City Council to the Ad Hoc Committee:
DISCUSSION
City operation of the Oasis Senior Center and the City's relationship with the Friends of Oasis is
currently governed by Council Policy B -5. The City Council has recently determined, in the
context of the Newport Theatre Arts Center, that a formal cooperative agreement is a better
vehicle for defining the operating criteria for City facilities and the roles and responsibilities of
support groups. The Board of Library Trustees and the Library Foundation are currently in the
final phase of a cooperative agreement between those groups that will soon be submitted to the
City Council for approval.
Staff is recommending that the City Council establish, and the Mayor appoint the members of,
an ad hoc committee that would (a) review the current operation of the Oasis Senior Center and
(b) meet with the Friends of OASIS to discuss a formal cooperative agreement that would
clearly define the relative roles and responsibilities of each group relative to the funding and
operation of the OASIS Senior Center. The Committee would have a limited term (180 days),
limited duties (develop a cooperative agreement) and would not be subject to the Brown Act.
Environmental Review: None required.
