Council reaches consensus on seven-member advisory panel
Summary
Council members debated advisory-panel size and reached consensus in favor of a seven-member panel; the meeting record shows a verbal "aye" and an agreement to use seven members, but no formal roll-call tally was recorded.
Council members discussed the size of an advisory panel, debating whether six or seven members would be appropriate. Multiple speakers weighed in on manageability and political considerations; one Committee member suggested six might be unwieldy while another argued for educating constituents about the trade-offs.
The Chair called for agreement on a seven-member composition. The Chair then stated the group had consensus and said "aye." The transcript does not record a formal motion text, mover or second, nor a roll-call vote tally; the outcome as recorded in the meeting was consensus to proceed with seven members.
The Chair noted adjournment items and referenced a public hearing at the work session; further procedural steps (formalizing the panel and next meeting dates) were not specified in the transcript.
