Background and Analysis:
To increase the opportunities for citizen engagement in the work of the City, the City Council made a commitment to hold at least one of their 2017 Council Committee meetings outside of City Hall and in the Olympia community. There are three Council Committees: Finance, Land Use and Environment, and General Government.
A recent Council Referral Request to the General Government Committee on the Spaceworks Tacoma Program could hold an opportunity for the Committee to meet the off-site meeting commitment.
Neighborhood/Community Interests (if known):
The off-site General Government Committee provides an opportunity for members of the public who might not otherwise attend a Committee meeting because of location or topic to engage with members of Council and City staff.
Options:
1. Consider possible locations, topics and timing of a future offsite meeting of the General Government Committee
2. Do not consider possible locations, topics and timing of a future offsite meeting of the General Government Committee
