Duties & Responsibilities

The duties and responsibilities of the Committee are to provide a forum to receive input from citizens on various community issues.

The City Council, through the City Administrator, refers community development issues and concerns to the Committee for study and review. In order to obtain meaningful and timely input from the Committee, public hearings are conducted to obtain community input relative to matters of public housing, economic development and infrastructure needs of the City.

Actions of this Committee are crucial whenever Community Development Block Grants or related grants are sought by the City. The Committee’s recommendations are transmitted to the City Council for final action.
