Meetings

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 the Council meeting and are noticed online.
