Committee backs 10-member panel and defined appointment process for next review cycle
Summary
Members agreed the next Citizen Government Review Committee should have 10 members appointed by each council member and the mayor, with the group selecting its own chair; the committee will recommend that the mayor's appointee be part of the panel.
The Citizen Government Review Committee discussed membership and selection for future iterations and agreed on a 10-member panel composed of one appointee from each council member plus a mayoral appointee.
Brenda summarized earlier discussion: "So it's a 10 member body. Each council member has an appointee and then the mayor has an appointee and they they pick their own chair." Committee members debated whether the mayor's appointee should be designated chair; some members said the committee itself should select its chair as at the committee's first meeting, and others urged retaining mayoral ownership of the committee by including a mayoral appointee.
Members also confirmed the committee's review frequency — the group previously proposed revisiting every five years but the committee opted to keep a 10‑year cycle for the review body. The committee agreed to present the appointment and membership language in the final report for City Council consideration.
No formal action was required at the meeting; committee members will include the recommended membership and appointment process in the final report.
