At the January 26, 2021 City Council Meeting, the Mayor submitted her recommendations for appointments to City Committees and Area Wide/Outside Agency Committees for the 2021 calendar year, which were determined by Council's expressed interest, seniority, and to balance the workload among the full City Council. After a lengthy discussion, the City Council voted to establish an Ad Hoc Committee comprised of Councilmember Park, Councilmember Jain, and Mayor Gillmor to review the Committee assignments, return to Council with a revised plan, and keep the 2020 Committee assignments in place until the new appointments are approved by Council.
