City Council Committees

In addition to serving as members of the City Council, Council members also participate in various committees which have been created to assist them in examining issues that may come before the Council in greater depth and detail.  Every two years the Council organizes itself with respect to the number and makeup of the Committees.  Often times, issues are resolved in Committee without further action on the part of the Council.  Frequently the Committees make recommendations which are then later considered by the full City Council.  The following is a list of Committees, as reorganized in August of 2008: Public Works, Finance and Administration, Planning and Land Use, and Public Health and Neighborhood Services.

Council Committees meetings are set by Ordinance and convene on Wednesday mornings prior to the regularly scheduled City Council meetings.  Meeting are held in the City Hall Main Conference Room, located at 2095 Main Street.
