Council committees
Before a decision is made on a proposal during the council meeting, a council committee discusses the proposal. They ask critical questions to the aldermen and debate the pros and cons together.
The committees are made up of council members and committee members. Are you curious about who the Committee member and what additional roles they fulfill? Take a look at the drop-down menus below.
The committee meetings take place approximately every six weeks. These meetings are also broadcast live and can be viewed on our website.
