CITIZENS ACCOUNTABILITY COMMITTEE:

Let’s have the staff to look into creating a citizens accountability committee and look at it from the standpoint of the discretionary fund money to include some of these projects that we are working on.

(Request of Councilor Davis and Barnes)

Have the staff to research to find out if we are pre-empted by State law from creating our own oversight committee; however, the Administration may be able to create an advisory committee related to the discretionary funds. (Request of Mayor Tomlinson)
