Summary

Staff told the subcommittee that the Newington Housing Needs Study Committee completed its 2014 charge but has not been officially removed from town records; the subcommittee agreed staff will verify minutes and bring a formal disbandment recommendation to council if appropriate.

Staff identified the Newington Housing Needs Study Committee as an example of a group that completed its charge but remains listed on the town’s tracking matrix. The staff member said the committee "was specifically put together to create a study on housing needs within Newington" and that the resolution creating it was approved in 2014; staff will verify whether the committee’s work was formally closed and, if so, bring a recommendation to disband the committee to the council.

Members discussed that committees created by resolution can be rescinded by council action and that staff will review minutes and archival records to confirm whether a formal disbandment step was taken. The subcommittee agreed this is a good early candidate for cleanup work under the review plan.
