July 24, 2017
Background
Rationale
•For sunsetting three current committees:
✓Many of the initial goals of the committees have been met;
✓Agendas dominated with updates;
✓Low interest from public to participate;
✓Difficulty finding subject matter and tasks;
✓Committees share common goals which could be accomplished more
efficiently as one body.
Rationale
•For consolidating into new committee:
✓Support City Council direction to improve citizen outreach and
engagement;
✓Integrate citizen engagement into the culture of city hall;
✓Expand subject matter scope for more interest;
✓Educate residents on city operations and initiatives;
✓Bolster city communications and engagement to reach more people;
✓Provide a body to advise on major issues as delegated by the City Council.
