Supersized committees
Mayor Liccardo is adding a member to each of the Council’s standing committees, bringing the total from 4 to 5, while eliminating the Ad Hoc Economic Competitiveness Committee and the Ad Hoc Airport Competitiveness Committee. Instead of the Airport Competitiveness Committee, all airport-related issues will be funneled to either the Transportation & Environment Committee or the Economic Development Committee. Also on the docket is directing the City Auditor to report all audits to a specific committee having jurisdiction rather than the Public Safety, Finance & Strategic Support Committee.
Also included is the proposed lineup for the various committees.
