4. Task the subcommittee with continuing work on reviewing and revising the au- thorizing resolutions of each Commission, including for the post -General Plan update period, bringing information back to the full Council for final review and approvals.
5. Task the subcommittee to explore the creation of a “Community Health Com- mission,” with a strong focus on mental health, especially among vulnerable populations (aging adults, children, youth). The subcommittee, as part of this approach, would also consider renaming the Social Services Commission to “Affordable Housing Commission” and changing its focus of work to all issues around housing availability, affordability, and security. The non -housing re- sponsibilities currently held by the commission would be reallocated to other commissions, especially the proposed Community Health Commission. If Council authorized the subcommittee to explore this concept, the subcommit- tee would return to the full Council with options for further consideration.
