Eliminate 2 standing committees that advise city council
In Plain English
The city council currently has permanent committees for public safety and finance that meet regularly to review issues before full council votes. This law eliminates both committees and sends all business directly to the full council. If approved, council members lose specialized committee roles but may handle agenda items more quickly.
