IV. BACKGROUND
On past occasions Mayor Robles and City Council have changed the status of SC’s from Ad Hoc to Standing, established new SC’s, or declared SC’s inactive.
City Council Policy/Procedure No. 1.45 (SMP 1.45), Council Sub-Committees, require that all SC 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 SC’s and Ad Hoc SC’s. A Standing SC is one created for an indefinite time period or to address general subjects. Typically, any SC created that does not clearly qualify as an Ad Hoc SC will be a Standing SC. An Ad Hoc SC is one created for a limited time period to address a specific subject or issue of a temporary nature.
V. FISCAL IMPACT
Funds for regular meetings of each of the City Council Sub-Committees are included in the City Council budget.
