Eliminate Public Safety and Finance standing committees
In Plain English
The city council currently has 2 permanent committees that meet separately to discuss budget issues and police matters before full council votes. This law change dissolves both committees. If approved, all budget and public safety decisions move directly to full council meetings instead of committee review first.
