All Council members and the Mayor are members of the Committee.
The purpose is to discuss details of various items pertaining to the administration and operations of the City. While some items are decided during the Committee meeting (i.e. such as directing the City Staff to prepare a study, or the evaluation and determination of at what pay grade a particular job should be rated), the majority of items are forwarded to the full Council for final discussion and passage.
