§ 24-110. Limitation on authority.

(a)

The board and its members shall have no authority to act for or on behalf of city council, the city manager, any other officer of the city, or any department of the city in any matter related to the discharge of its duties, responsibilities or authorities of such department or officer. The recommendations and advice made by the board to the city council are advisory only and the city council shall act upon such recommendations and advice as it shall determine.

(b)

The board's duties and responsibilities are not exclusively assigned to the board as other boards, commissions, and committees within the city have assigned duties with respect to activities in, at, or around the Mill Mountain Park area. Nothing in this article shall preclude city council from creating additional boards, committees, or commissions with respect to Mill Mountain Park, including any proposed development within the excluded property.

(c)

(i)

In the event that development is proposed for all or any or portion of the excluded property, at one (1) time or at any time, city council may appoint an ad hoc committee to advise city council with respect the proposed development within the excluded property. An ad hoc committee created pursuant to this subsection shall consist of not more than eleven (11) members, of which three (3) members shall be members of the board recommended to city council by the board, and one (1) member shall be a member of the Roanoke Valley Greenway Commission recommended to city council by the Roanoke Valley Greenway Commission. An ad hoc committee created pursuant to this subsection shall review the proposal for development within the excluded property and provide its recommendation to city council. Upon submission of its recommendation to city council, the ad hoc committee shall be dissolved.

(ii)

In the event that city council establishes an ad hoc committee as provided in section 24-110(c)(i) of this article, the board shall have no responsibility or authority to review, consider and make recommendations regarding the proposed development within the excluded property.

(iii)

In the event that city council does not establish an ad hoc committee as provided in section 24-110(c)(i) of this article for a proposed development within the excluded property, the board shall review, consider, and provide recommendations to city council with regard to such proposed development within the excluded property.

(iv)

An ad hoc committee established pursuant to section 24-110(c)(i) shall be advisory only and city council shall act upon such recommendation as it shall determine.
