AGENDA MATTER:
ESTABLISHMENT OF NEW COMMITTEES (ON POLICE AND COMMUNITY
RELATIONS, STREET, AND RULES AND POLICIES) AND APPOINTMENT OF
THEIR MEMBERS
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Council is being asked to formalize its previous consensus to create a Police and Community Relations Committee, a Street Committee and a Rules and Policy Committee.
DISCUSSION:
The Council may wish to consider whether or not it wishes to create committees subject to the procedural requirements of the Brown Act. Making the committees ad-hoc committees composed solely of less than a quorum of the Council would avoid the paper-work requirements of the Brown Act (e.g., preparing and posting written agendas in advance), and thus reduce the requirements for ongoing staff support. Committee meetings can be held in public and receive public input regardiess of whether or not the committees are subject to the Brown Act.
The proposed resolutions (attached) would create ad-hoc committees not subject to the formal requirements of the Brown Act that would sunset in two years. At that time, the Council could decide " whether it wished to continue them.
