Council creates 'Neighborly Barre' advisory committee to promote neighborhood engagement
Summary
Council approved creation of the Neighborly Barre advisory committee with 5–9 members and a council liaison; staff will post an application and begin appointments, with an option to stand up the committee faster if sufficient applicants apply.
The council voted to create a Neighborly Barre advisory committee to support neighborhood engagement and local projects. The motion sets committee size at no fewer than five and no more than nine members, defines a quorum as a majority of appointed members, and names Councilor Bill Gardner as the council liaison.
Council discussed outreach and timing for appointments; staff said they will post the application the following day on the city website and social media and begin accepting candidates. The mayor suggested the council could appoint an initial set of members without a full interview process to expedite standing up the committee and then fill remaining slots later. “We'll post it on our website on social media, and we'll start receiving applications,” the manager said.
The motion passed by voice vote. Staff will return with applications for council consideration and may bring forward a slate for expedited appointment so the committee can begin work this year.
