Employee Committees

The Council Workshop Committee is made up of elected officials and city employees. Its purpose is to discuss items regarding the city that are administrative and operational in nature. Such things as Human Resources, Health and Public Safety, General Administration matters, Financial matters, streets, parks, sewers, water service, speed limits, stop signs, law enforcement, and ordinances relating to such subjects and other items related to the City of Washington departments involved in the physical structure of the city.  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.

The Council Workshop Committee meets on the first Monday of each month at 6 p.m. in the Council Chamber of City Hall. The meetings are open to the public.
