Policy Advisory Boards and Task Forces

Policy Advisory Boards are ongoing advisory bodies that provide advice to the City Council on specific policy areas. In general, Policy Advisory Boards provide strategic, high-level advice on specific policy questions that are before the Council. In addition, they may be a topic that is more operational in nature to help assist City staff. The City Council may also create Task Forces for specific policy purposes. Task Forces serve for the period required to complete the tasks identified by the City Council.

The City's network of advisory groups were reorganized in April 2021 at the direction of the City Council, as part of a project to create more opportunities for public participation and engagement. For more information, please review Resolution 2021-08 and Ordinance 2021-05.
