Background and Analysis:
Each year Council-appointed advisory committees prepare a work plan for initial review by the General Government Committee before consideration by the full Council. advisory committees' work year begins April 1. The date allows time after the first of the year for committees to consider any goals and priorities identified at Council's annual retreat. It also usually coincides with the appointment of any new board and commission members.
Committee work plans are typically reviewed in conjunction with a meeting of all the committee chairs and liaisons. Discussion will include any changes in timing or approach the General Government Committee would like to consider for 2022.
Neighborhood/Community Interest (if known):
Advisory committees are a structured way for community members to share their opinions and points of view, study issues, and develop recommendations in a focused small group to the Olympia City Council. The Community members serving on advisory committees will be interested in how their work plans will be presented to the General Government Committee for review and ultimately approved by the City Council.
