Board co‑chairs to advance proposal to combine committees to leadership and bylaws
Summary
Committee co‑chairs reported a proposal to combine the housing and land‑use committee and to merge sanitation and environmental protection with parks. Co‑chairs said they will bring the proposal to leadership and then to the bylaws committee for approval.
Cynthia Rodriguez, community board chair, and committee leadership discussed a structural proposal to consolidate committee responsibilities.
"Is, combining, the housing and land use committee," Cynthia Rodriguez said, introducing the subject during the Sept. 18 meeting. The co‑chairs also said they had submitted a proposal to combine sanitation and environmental protection responsibilities with the parks committee.
Board members present indicated support for the co‑chairs’ plan and said they would bring the proposal to the board’s leadership team and then to the bylaws committee for review and formal adoption. No formal vote was taken at the Sept. 18 meeting; co‑chairs indicated they had obtained informal agreement from the committee’s co‑chairs and planned to advance the item through the board’s internal governance process.
If approved through leadership and bylaws, the proposed change would alter committee assignments and the formal structure of the board’s standing committees. Committee members did not specify an implementation date or list changes to membership at the meeting.
