COUNCIL POLICY COMMITTEE REPORT
MEETING DATE: 02/23/2021
ITEM NO: 3
DATE: February 16, 2021
TO: Council Policy Committee
FROM: Laurel Prevetti, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Review the Purpose, Focus, and Process Considerations of the Council Policy
Committee and Make Recommendations for an Enabling Resolution for the
Policy Committee
RECOMMENDATION:
Review the purpose, focus, and process considerations of the Council Policy Committee and
make recommendations for an enabling resolution for the Policy Committee.
BACKGROUND:
At the January 26, 2021 Council Policy Committee meeting, the Committee members requested
staff return with the enabling resolution of the Policy Committee.
Staff researched the history of the Policy Committee and was not able to locate an enabling
resolution. From what staff has been able to locate in historical files, it appears the Policy
Committee held its first meeting April 15, 2003. The first agenda indicates that they discussed
the purpose, focus and process considerations for the Committee and expected outcomes
(Attachment 1). The subsequent agendas for several months are identical with the same item.
Staff was unable to locate the minutes for any of the 2003/2004 meetings.
CONCLUSION:
If the Committee would like to formalize the purpose, focus, and process considerations of the
Committee staff would bring back a draft enabling resolution at the next meeting for the
Committee’s review.
