(A) This section is intended to describe the function of boards, commissions, and committees (each a "Citizen Committee") other than Council Member Committees (see § 30.019). These general rules apply unless the motion, resolution, or ordinance creating the board, commission, or committee explicitly provides otherwise.
(B) The town ordinance authorizes the Town Council to establish additional advisory boards, commissions, and Citizen Committees to assist the Council in its policy decisions. The Town Council has the inherent power to create Citizen Committees.
(C) Town boards, commissions, and Citizen Committees do not set or establish town policy or administrative direction to town staff.
(D) Appointments to boards, commissions, and Citizen Committees are made by motion of the Council after the review and consideration of any applicants.
(E) The terms
BOARD and COMMISSION may be used interchangeably. Boards and commissions typically have broader policy and advisory responsibilities than Citizen Committees, which typically have much more focused advisory roles to the Council.
