Council dissolves Economic Development Committee, discusses alternative structures
Summary
Council voted to dissolve the Economic Development Committee after discussing differences between a city committee (subject to Open Meeting Law and council representation) and a non-city commission (broader membership); the move passed unanimously.
Council debated whether economic development work should be handled by a city committee subject to Open Meeting Law, held at city-designated locations and including at least one council member, or by a non-city commission with broader community membership and no residency requirement. TJ Byrne moved to dissolve the Economic Development Committee; Will Butler seconded and the council approved the motion unanimously.
The minutes note that if economic development is not a city committee it would not be required to meet at City Hall or follow the same membership rules; council direction will guide how the city pursues economic development work going forward.
