City Council Committees
Annually, the City Council confirms appointments from the Mayor of individual City Councilmembers to Citizen Boards, Commissions, Committees and Task Forces to serve as the liaison to a specific advisory body. The City Council also creates Council Sub-Committees in response to a particular issue, made up of Council members only (three or less) with staff support.
Please refer to the 2022 Council Liaison List.
