(A) Boards, commissions, and Citizen Committees serve as advisory agencies to Council, and have no independent authority (except as provided by State law or town ordinance). Such agencies of the town may perform the duties outlined herein, have projects assigned by Council, may initiate independent activities (so long as such activities do not involve tasking of other governmental agencies in the name of the town, out of state travel, or retention of consultants), and may report on a regular basis to Council on the activities of the agency.
(B) When acting in their appointed roles, these agencies should act in accordance with the Planning and Zoning Handbook published by the Arizona Department of Commerce (Third Edition, October 2004), with reasonable accommodation to apply the principles contained therein to agencies other than the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Board of Adjustment.
