Committees

County Council utilizes a standing committee structure to facilitate the decision making process. Each standing committee meets regularly and the recommendations from each committee then go forward to County Council for adoption.

An advisory committee of Council is a group of individuals appointed or selected to provide advice, recommendations, and expertise to Council. The committees typically consist of community members, experts, stakeholders, and sometimes elected officials who offer guidance on specific issues or areas of concern within the jurisdiction. The purpose of advisory committees is to ensure that Council has access to diverse perspectives and informed opinions when making decisions that affect the community. While advisory committees do not have decision-making authority themselves, their input is valuable in shaping policies, programs, and initiatives proposed by the council.
