Title
Adoption of Resolution to Dissolve City Council Communication Committees
Body
Whereas, in an effort to enhance communication with the Administration and create a more effective committee structure, the Rochester Hills City Council at its meeting of January 27, 1999 adopted Resolution No. 1999-0095 to create four (4) City Council Communication Committees, the Administration and Information Services Committee (AIS), the Community Development and Viability Committee (CDV), the Financial Services Committee (FS), and the Leisure Activities Committee (LAC); and
Whereas, on February 17, 1999, City Council amended Resolution No. 1999-0095 to include the Public Safety Committee as a Communication Committee; and
Whereas, City Council agrees that the five Communication Committees have increased the communication with the Administration; and
Whereas, City Council has determined that the current Council Committee structure has become too cumbersome for a seven-member Council and has added an additional level of bureaucracy; and
Whereas, City Council's goal is to be more efficient and more resident inclusive.
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved that the Rochester Hills City Council Communication Committees shall cease to exist effective December 31, 2006.
Be It Further Resolved that Council will review all the issues that currently fall under the five Communication Committees and create City Council Technical Review Committees to address these issues on a more focused and limited scope approach to ensure that the issues are addressed in the appropriate manner.
