Agenda Item: Action Memorandum 2022-011: Adopting the Port and Commerce Advisory
Board (PACAB) Priorities for the Calendar Year 2023
Background and justification:
Annually, the Port and Commerce Advisory Board establishes their priorities. During PACAB's
October 5, regular meeting, the Board reviewed and updated the 2023 Priorities List. The priorities

finalized proposed priorities resolution at their November 2, regular meeting.
Each year, PACAB uses this legislation to fulfill their code requirements discussed in 2.30.325-
Powers and Duties. Once City Council provides the board with the complete priority list, PACAB will
develop their 2023 schedule and calendar based on the finalized priority list.

* Administration recommends items 1 & 2 be removed from the priority list. PACAB
takes a summer hiatus for the months of June, July, and August. This leaves 9 regular
meetings on their calendar so the priority list should be as concise as possible and
focused on the core aspects of their powers and duties as described in 2.30.325. Item
#1 is a very expansive topic and item #2 is overly broad.
DISPOSITION
Amended and approved by City Council on November 28, 2022.
Items #1 & #2 were striken by council.
