APPOINTMENTS

Schuchard Brockett Benjamin Winer Brockett Speer Adams Wallach Wallach Adams Marquis

*Financial Strategy Committee (appointments: Speer, Schuchard & Wallach) - The Financial Strategy Committee works with city staff to develop the city's annual budget, evaluates adjustments to base and budget reductions, as necessary, and recommends to council ballot and policy matters relating to the city's finances. These tasks and the longer-term nature of financial strategy work benefit from a diversity of backgrounds, term lengths, knowledge, experience, and perspectives among the council members who serve on the committee. This degree of diversity can be challenging, if not impossible, to achieve with only two participating council members. Given how critical financial strategies are to the city’s current and future goals, city council finds it appropriate that up to four council members serve on the Financial Strategy Committee, because more than two members are needed to create a diverse and representative committee. **Intergovernmental Affairs Committee (appointments: Brockett, Benjamin, Marquis, & Speer) - The Intergovernmental Affairs Committee works with Intergovernmental Officer, Heather Stauffer, and makes recommendations to the whole city council on what legislative positions the council should take. In order for the committee to be successful, it requires members with a diversity of political perspectives, policy focuses and relationships. Having only two members is insufficient to provide this diversity, therefore the city council finds it necessary for the committee to have up to four members to provide the different perspectives critical to its success.
