IV. BACKGROUND
Currently, the City has twelve (12) City Council Sub-Committees which consists of Standing and Ad Hoc. It is best practice for the legislative body to occasionally review Commissions, Committees, and Boards for possible duplication of efforts.
On April 18, 2017, Mayor Robles proposed consolidation and appointments of the aforementioned. City Council Policy/Procedure No. 1:45 (SMP 1:45), Council Sub-Committees, require that all sub-committee members shall be appointed by the Mayor subject to formal approval by a majority of Council Members present and voting at a properly noticed and agendized public meeting.
SMP 1:45 also differentiates between Standing Sub-Committees and Ad Hoc Sub-Committees. A Standing Sub-Committee is one created for an indefinite time period or to address general subjects. Generally, any sub-committee created that does not clearly qualify, as an ad hoc sub-committee will be a standing sub-committee. An Ad Hoc Sub-Committee is one created for a limited time period to address a specific subject or issue of a temporary nature.
V. FISCAL IMPACT
None.
