What do committees do?

Most meaningful legislative activity happens in committee meetings, where committee members debate proposed legislation. These meetings are open to the public.

Each committee has a Chair, who controls the committee meeting agenda (and thus, the legislation to be considered).

Committee jurisdiction, memberships, and appointments all require City Council approval.
