Committee prefers council central staff to chair work group; keeps June 2026 final report deadline
Summary
Members favored a council central‑staff chair (rather than an outside facilitator) to run the work group and kept the draft’s June 30, 2026 final report date while acknowledging the Executive recommended an earlier deadline for budget purposes.
Staff presented two management options for the work group: an internal chair from council central staff or hiring an outside facilitator. The committee favored a council central‑staff chair to maintain council oversight, speed the work and keep the work group aligned with council direction. Chair said central staff can create agendas, coordinate meetings and report back to the committee as needed.
Members discussed an outside facilitator option but said that would require procurement and increase cost and time. Staff also noted the executive recommended accelerating the final report into December to feed next year’s budget, but several members said the current timeframe is already aggressive; the committee kept the June 30, 2026 final report deadline while allowing earlier submission if the work group finishes sooner.
