Council member Keating introduced a proposal to create a council subcommittee to explore potential term limits for Tempe's mayor and council members, framing the review as an effort to enhance transparency and public trust.

"I would like to propose a new subcommittee for the exploration of possibly creating term limits for elected officials here in Tempe," Keating said, and named Vice Mayor Garland and Council Member Amberg as the proposed members. The mayor confirmed there was consensus among council members to move the subcommittee proposal forward.

Under Council Rule 7 (subsection 2b), two council members may propose formation of a subcommittee at a work study session; Keating invoked that process and the council directed staff to carry the item forward for subcommittee work.
