The committee structure and assignments were prepared after obtaining input from every Commissioner during the Committee of the Whole, and after receiving their written input on their desire to engage in specific areas of jurisdiction as well as their involvement within committees that paralleled their areas of interest.

By maintaining the number of standing committees to six, all Commissioners will have the opportunity to serve as Chairs or Vice Chairs of committees and, at the same time, keep the number of committees to three on which each Commissioner will serve.

As listed in Rule 4.01 (c) of the Rules of Procedure, committee Chairs and Vice Chairs are appointed for two years. All committee Chairs and Vice Chairs shall serve at the discretion of the Chairman. The Chairman reserves the right to rotate committee Chairs, Vice Chairs, and members at any time. Furthermore, he reserves the right to increase the number of committee members at any time. If a vacancy occurs in any committee for any reason, the Chairman will make the appropriate appointment.

Committee Chairs are required to prepare a vision statement outlining their goals and objectives prioritize a “Line Item Review Process” of the budget process for those areas within the jurisdiction of each committee.
