Council Committee Diary: June 2022
Most council agenda items originate in one of council’s standing or ad hoc committees. You can learn more about council committees here and find meeting times and agendas here.
Following is an overview of council committee work from June:
- Finance Committee: Reviewed requested budget revisions and considered the city treasurer’s proposal to contract with Invoice Cloud for expanded online payments capabilities.

- Public Safety Committee: Discussed downtown intersections and options for new traffic lights, new stop signs, etc.
