DATE ATTACHMENTS 10/24/16 Informational Memorandum dated 10/18/16 1 161 162 City of Tukwila Allan Ekberg, Mayor TO: Committee of the Whole FROM: Dennis Robertson, Councilmember BY: Laurel Humphrey, Council Analyst CC: Mayor Ekberg DATE: October 18, 2016 SUBJECT: 2017 Standing Council Committees ISSUE Proposal to modify the titles and scopes of City Council standing committee beginning in 2017. DISCUSSION Tukwila Municipal Code 2.04.180 outlines the purpose and scope of the Council's four standing committees: Transportation, Utilities, Finance and Safety, and Community Affairs and Parks. This framework has been in place since 1987 (prior to 1987 standing committees had varying names and scopes) and has not been significantly reevaluated with regard to current workload and policy considerations. The City Council is asked to consider revising the scope of the standing committees beginning in 2017. At the end of 2017 the proposal will be reevaluated to determine if meeting length and workload are appropriately balanced. The Council may then choose to revert to the current framework or consider something new for 2018.
