Council advances Human Relations Committee ordinance changes and sets public hearing
Summary
Council approved first reading of Ordinance 2026-5-32 to reduce the Human Relations Committee from 13 to 7 members, specify appointment terms and align the mayoral appointment with the mayor's term; a public hearing was scheduled for March 23, 2026.
The council advanced Ordinance 2026-5-32 on first reading on March 9, moving to change the Human Relations Committee membership and appointment structure. The proposed amendments would reduce the committee from 13 to seven members, assign six appointments to the council and one to the mayor (a two-year term aligned with the mayoral term), and stagger the initial appointments to create term rotation.
The Government Operations and Ordinance subcommittee reviewed the ordinance and proposed the changes to align the committee’s purpose statement with the updated ordinance language. Councilor Hoffman moved the first reading and the council voted to schedule a public hearing on March 23, 2026. Councilor Conant asked to be removed as the council liaison to the HRC and Mayor Bordes agreed to that request.
