Each committee is suppose to have a Council Member to act as a <br />liaison between the committee and the City Council. The role of the Council Liaison is to be an <br />observer at the committee meeting and provide background information to the City Council when a <br />committee issue comes before the City Council. So as not to have a chilling effect on committee <br />discussions, limit the number of ideas, or to have an unfair advantage over other Council Members, <br />Council Liaisons are not suppose to take active roles in their committees or otherwise directly or <br />indirectly influence committee discussions. Additionally, Council Members should rotate to a different <br />committee each year to increase their knowledge and eliminate the potential perception that a Council <br />Member has undue influence over a committee. <br />BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: <br />EXHIBITS: <br />ACTION: <br />BUDGET INFO: <br />❑ Financial Report Z Minute Order <br />Expense <br />❑ Department Report ❑ Resolution <br />Budgeted Amt. <br />❑ Presentation ❑ Ordinance <br />y'I'D Actual <br />❑ Public Hearing ❑ Other <br />Acct.
