Committee of the Whole

Established by Ordinance on August 17, 2009, the Committee of the Whole meets on the first and third Monday of the month, preceding the Council meetings. Business coming before the Committee of the Whole will generally be in four categories: Community Development, Public Works, Public Safety, and Finance. (The Committee of the Whole replaces the four separate committees of Community Development, Public Works, Public Safety, and Finance, each originally comprised of four members of the Council, with each Council member serving on two of the four committees.)

Items brought before the Committee of the Whole are for review and discussion only. There is no formal action taken during the Committee of the Whole; however, the Committee may vote to bring a topic before the Council for final consideration.

In addition, during discussion of the Committee of the Whole, City staff may receive direction to provide assistance in the resolution of issues discussed.
