- April 2023 - Public Appointments to Advisory Committees of Council and Local Boards - 2023-132.pdf
Recommends pausing recruitment and appointments to Council's advisory committees until a new governance framework arrives in late 2023, except where members are needed to hold meetings. The spring round covered 13 vacancies across six committees plus The Elliott Board of Trustees, with staff recommending 10 appointments; three spots stayed empty for lack of qualified applicants. Seven applicants identified as being from equity-seeking groups. Further appointment motions follow a closed-session discussion.
