Subject: Council Subcommittee Liaison Appointment Process
th
At the August 27 Special City Council meeting, Council requested that a discussion
regarding the Council Subcommittee Liaison Appointment process be added to the next
special City Council meeting scheduled for October 22, 2024.
To assist with the discussion, staff is providing the sections from the Council Policies and
Procedures Handbook that cover this topic:
6.1 COUNCIL LIAISON SUBCOMMITTEE MEMBERS
6.1.1 APPOINTMENTS TO COUNCIL SUBCOMMITTEES
Subcommittee liaisons to advisory bodies are selected annually by the full
Council, usually in December. The Mayor and Vice Mayor shall submit
recommendations to the full Council, rotating nominations for Council
Member Subcommittees, thereby ensuring an opportunity for each member
to serve as liaison at least once on each advisory body, when possible.
When terms of office do not allow each member to serve once, members
with greatest seniority shall have first right of selection.
6.2 COUNTY OR REGIONAL REPRESENTATION
Annually, the Mayor shall make appointments to a variety of County and/or
regional committees and boards. One member of the Council shall serve as
a voting representative and one member shall serve as an alternate. (See
6.6.2 for appointment procedures.) Voting delegates shall reflect the
majority view of the Council as a whole, rather than their own personal
opinions.
