Board removes downtown committee, considers advisory replacement
Summary
The Board of Aldermen voted to remove the downtown committee from its official committee list and discussed replacing it with an advisory group of community members and downtown business owners.
The Board of Aldermen voted to remove the downtown committee from the Board's committee list after a brief discussion about whether the committee should be eliminated or made dormant. The chair said the matter had been discussed previously and that the board could later create a new advisory committee composed of downtown business owners and community representatives if it chose.
A motion to remove the downtown committee carried on roll call 'Motion passes 5 to 0 with 1 absent.' Several aldermen said that if the board wanted a different structure, it would first remove the existing committee and then bring forward language to establish a new advisory body. No new advisory committee was formally created at the meeting.
