PRPD operates three Standing Committees, each tasked with providing guidance on specific topics before they are presented to the full Board.   These committees, led by two Board members, meet on a semi-regular basis. 

The Paradise Recreation and Park District Standing Committees meet the definition of a legislative body as indicated in California Government Code 54952(b):

A commission, committee, board, or other local agency, whether permanent or
temporary, decision-making or advisory, created by charter, ordinance, resolution,
or formal action of a legislative body. However, advisory committees composed
solely of the members of the legislative body which are less than a quorum of the
legislative body are not legislative bodies, except that standing committees of the
legislative body irrespective of their composition which have a continuing subject
matter, jurisdiction, or a meeting schedule fixed by charter, ordinance, resolution,
or formal action of a legislative body are legislative bodies for purposes of this
chapter.

1. Under California Government Code 54953, all meetings of a legislative body of a
local agency shall be open and public, and all persons shall be permitted to attend
any meeting of the legislative body of a local agency, except as otherwise provided
in this chapter.
2. It is recommended that one current committee member stay on each standing
committee to assure continuity on pending issues.
3. Committees will meet on an as-needed basis. It is recommended that committee
meetings for study or research include staff to insure good communication input
and direction.
4. Committee reports will be prepared by the District Manager and given to the
Board of Directors at their regularly scheduled meetings concerning Committee
business.
