body
Background:
The City Council may from time to time choose to establish an ad hoc committee, comprised of two members of the City Council, to evaluate and report on particular issues. Ad hoc committees are commonly used in City government, are composed of less than a quorum of the legislative body, serve a limited or single purpose, are not perpetual, and dissolve once the specific task is completed.
Ad hoc or “temporary” committees are treated differently under the Brown Act. Ad hoc committees are not subject to the notice and posting requirements of the Brown Act so long as the committee:
• Is comprised solely of members of the governing body;
• Consists of less than a quorum of the legislative body;
• Has a defined purpose and a time frame to accomplish that purpose;
• Is advisory - the committee has not been delegated any decision-making power and will be returning to the full body on its recommendation.
The 2x2 Solid Waste Committee shall serve in an advisory capacity to the City Council, engaging community partners, stakeholders, and local leaders to gather information and provide input regarding the City’s solid waste and disposal operations. The Committee will review current operations, evaluate long-term waste transfer and disposal options, tour solid waste facilities, assess available technologies and operational models, and gain a firsthand understanding of potential solutions to develop informed recommendations that support the City’s long-term solid waste goals.
Fiscal Impact:
None.
