Background and Analysis:
Each year, all Council Committees develop a work plan. On June 16, the City Council accepted staff's recommendation to realign the General Government Committee and the Ad Hoc Committee on Public Safety. The majority of the two Committee's work items will be combined into one committee -- Community Livability and Public Safety Committee.
Highlights of the 2022 work plan for the Committee include: recruiting, interviewing, and recommending appointments to Council for advisory boards, committees and commissions including eleven members to the new Social Justice and Equity Commission; reviewing updates to the Olympia Police Department's complaint process and policies; and discussing the Community Work Groups recommendations for Reimagining Public Safety.
The 2022 work plan allows time throughout the year to respond to emerging issues. Meetings are scheduled for the fourth Wednesday of every month starting at 5:30 pm. However, additional meetings have been scheduled in March to interview candidates to fill vacancies on several Council advisory boards, committees, and commissions.
