Clayton Council appoints ad-hoc committee to review Special Event Fee policy after debate
Summary
Following debate over whether staff or council should draft a Special Event Fee policy, the Clayton City Council appointed an ad-hoc committee (Mayor Wan and Councilmember Trupiano) to review a staff-written draft and bring recommendations to the full council.
The Clayton City Council on Oct. 3 appointed an ad-hoc committee composed of Mayor Wan and Councilmember Trupiano to review a staff-written draft policy related to the Special Event Fee section of the Master Fee Schedule.
Councilmember Tillman pulled the consent item and questioned why a draft policy was not included in the staff report and whether it is normal for a subcommittee to draft policy from scratch. City Manager Bret Prebula responded that in his experience staff typically prepares a draft policy for council review. Councilmember Cloven asked to be on the ad-hoc committee to ensure differing views; Councilmember Trupiano recommended that staff write a draft and then work with the ad-hoc committee before presenting to the full council. Members of the public urged staff to prepare a draft policy and the council to allow public input.
Councilmember Tillman moved to appoint the committee; Councilmember Trupiano seconded. The motion passed 5–0.
Next steps: staff to prepare a draft Special Event Fee policy and work with the ad-hoc committee for a future presentation to the full council.
