The vice mayor may refer any item directly to committee. The chair of a standing committee may refer any item to their standing committee. Any council member may request the vice mayor to refer items to committee. Otherwise, items shall be referred to committee by a majority vote. This notwithstanding, the council may at any time consider and act on any matter referred to committee. All items which are sent directly to committee through the vice mayor should be included as information in the packet and notice given at work session. Once a council member refers an item to committee, the council member should follow-up with council core staff.
