Reestablish Finance Committee and Public Safety Committee
In Plain English
The city council currently handles all budget and police matters in full council meetings. These specialized committees would allow smaller groups of council members to review financial decisions and public safety issues in detail before bringing recommendations to the full council. If approved, committees would meet separately and potentially speed up decision-making on complex topics.
