Committees review policy matters referred to them, inform and educate Council on existing city programs and issues and review other related matters. City Council Committees will not become involved in city administration but instead are expected to anticipate the full range of considerations and concerns related to various policy questions. When participating on committees, members are expected to temper their role as policy advocates in order to fully evaluate all alternatives.
