Staff recommends Council adopt the resolution establishing Council committees and repealing Resolution 22-11076.

In September 2022, Council created four subcommittees: Council Operations, Legislative, Local Affairs, and Budget and Finance. These committees have been meeting and working on their related subject areas for the last year. With some practical experience with these committees, Council discussed the makeup and scope of the committees during a recent work session and found it appropriate to make some changes. As a result, Council has asked staff to present a resolution that combines the Legislative and Local Affairs committees and modifies the resolution to reflect these changes. 

The attached resolution addresses the requested modifications and combines the Legislative and Local Affairs committees. Language was added to allow this committee to express opinions regarding legislation during a legislative session, which is a change from the previous resolution. Additionally, the term limits were eliminated to allow for committee members to remain on a committee for more than two consecutive terms. There were no other substantive changes to the resolution.

City Council may:

• Approve; or,
• Not Approve
