Board recommends work session to review Chapter 2 powers and duties language
Summary
Members recommended a work session to workshop proposed revisions to Chapter 2 (administrative and personnel powers and duties) so the advisory board can clarify its oversight role and align recommendations with the city's budget calendar.
The Chair introduced proposed language changes in Chapter 2 regarding the advisory commission’s powers and duties and invited discussion about whether modifications would require an ordinance or could be handled through a work session. Members emphasized that work sessions allow for free-flowing dialogue and recommended scheduling a workshop ahead of budget season to integrate any changes with city timelines.
"It would be great if we were able at, like, 200 months ahead of the, like, budget request season," one Committee member said, urging alignment with the budget calendar so recommendations could inform staff requests. The board agreed to draft possible updates, bring supporting evidence to the next meeting, and consider holding a focused work session to workshop language and role clarity before proposing ordinance changes to the city council.
