DATE ATTACHMENTS 01/3/17 Draft Resolution 17 18 City of Tukwila • Allan Ekberg, Mayor INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM TO: City Council FROM: Laurel Humphrey, Council Analyst CC: Mayor Ekberg DATE: December 23, 2016 SUBJECT: 2017 Standing Council Committees ISSUE At the October 24, 2016 Committee of the Whole meeting, the City Council gave direction to revise the scope and titles of the four standing committees for the year 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. The 2017 Committee titles requested by the Council are: Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, Public Safety Committee, Finance Committee, and Community Development and Neighborhoods Committee. The attached draft resolution outlines the policy considerations for each of the standing committees. RECOMMENDATION. Staff recommends adoption of the proposed Resolution. Staff will also prepare an amendment to Tukwila Municipal Code 2.04.180 to remove the specific titles and scopes of the standing committees, thereby allowing the Council the flexibility this year and in the future to adjust committee workloads and policy considerations by resolution as appropriate.
