Committee approves appointment and updates bylaws language
Summary
The Traffic and Public Safety Committee voted to forward the appointment of Mike Foster and approved bylaw wording changes that replace the term “board” with “committee” and remove a line about recommending a chair to the city manager.
The Traffic and Public Safety Committee voted to forward an appointment and approved minor bylaw revisions during its meeting.
The committee voted to advance the appointment of Mike Foster to the Traffic and Public Safety Committee. The chair called the vote after public introduction; the committee recorded a 5–0 vote in favor and said the appointment will go to the city council for final action at its next meeting.
Committee members then discussed the draft bylaws. Members proposed replacing all uses of the word “board” with the term “committee” (and “board member” → “committee member”) to align document wording with the committee’s status. They also agreed to remove one line under “powers and duties” that asked the body to recommend a chair to the city manager; committee members said they select a chair internally and city code already defines chair duties.
A motion to make the wording changes and strike the specified line passed unanimously. Staff said they will provide an updated Word version so members can review the exact substitutions before publication.
