Committees

What are council committees?

As the Rules of the Council state, “The purpose of the standing committees is to provide well-considered recommendations to the Council on all bills, resolutions, and other legislative matters referred to the standing committees by the Council.” On the first day of the council term, the council established its committees by adopting Resolution 21-4 (January 2, 2021).
