The City Council may create such commissions, standing or special, as it deems necessary. Commissions shall consist of as many members, and perform such duties, as the Council may from time to time require. Any matter brought before the Council for consideration may be referred by the presiding officer to the appropriate commission or to a special commission appointed by him or her for a written report and recommendation before it is considered by the Council as a whole.
