BACKGROUND:
The City's standing boards, commissions, and committees provide valuable input into city issues and
also act as an incubator of ideas. Each committee has a Council Member to act as a liaison between the
committee and the City Council. The role of the Council Liaison is to be an observer at the committee
meeting and provide background information to the City Council when a committee issue comes before
the City Council. So as not to have a chilling effect on committee discussions, limit the number of
ideas, or to have an unfair advantage over other Council Members, Council Liaisons are not suppose to
take active roles in their committees or otherwise directly or indirectly influence committee discussions.
Additionally, Council Members should rotate to a different committee each year to increase their
knowledge and eliminate the potential perception that a Council Member has undue influence over a
committee.
