Council Committees

Many items brought before the entire council are referred to a working committee for review. Upon completion of that review, the committee makes a recommendation to the entire Council for a vote at a subsequent Council meeting. Committee reports are presented under "Unfinished Business" on the agenda.

Upcoming council committee meetings are announced during council meetings and are available on the city council calendar.
