Oversight committee agrees edits to draft report and plans council presentation

Chair Scribner introduced a draft committee report to the city council and proposed removing several paragraphs and adding language explaining why the committee had not met regularly in the past. Committee members reviewed the proposed edits, agreed to retain selected paragraphs, and asked staff to compile the final draft.

Members discussed adding the committee’s scope-of-duties language from the draft packet into the letter the chair prepared so the report better reflects the committee’s responsibilities. Staff agreed to make the requested revisions and circulate the updated draft to committee members; staff asked that the final version be checked by "Cherry Scrivener" (as named in the record) before submission to council.

Committee members discussed who should present the report to the council. One member suggested David (a staff member referenced in the discussion) because of his long service; others said they would attend the council presentation as a committee. Staff said they expected to schedule the presentation in late April or early May, before final budget adoption in May.

The committee instructed staff to send the revised report and two potential presentation dates to members and confirmed plans to attend the council meeting for the report presentation.
