Orleans staff identifies inactive committees for possible sunsetting, recommends replacements for some

Jul 21, 2026

At the July 15 work session staff reviewed committees that have been inactive or have limited activity and proposed recommendations for sunsetting or replacement. Staff said the Long Range Capital Planning Committee has not met since November 2024 and recommended it for sunsetting while developing a better-suited capital committee structure. The Personnel Advisory Board currently has one member and staff proposed replacing it with a Human Resources Advisory Board that would focus on functional HR feedback rather than charter-driven functions.
