DISCUSSION
The City Council first established Council Committees in 1999 to ensure that diverse issues and
challenges facing the City are adequately addressed. At the February 7, 2017 City Council
Meeting the matter was agendized and based on City Council feedback, the following Council
Committees were proposed:
1. Community Services Committee (and Joint Santa Ana Unified School District and City
Council Committee)
2. Economic Development, Infrastructure, and Technology Committee
3. Legislative Affairs, Ethics and Transparency Committee
4. Public Safety, Code Enforcement, & Neighborhood Empowerment Committee
Thereafter, the Mayor and Council provided feedback on the Council Committees they were
willing and available to join. Also, a Budget category was added to the Economic Development,
Infrastructure & Technology Committee. Each Council Committee had three members, except for
the Legislative Affairs, Ethics and Transparency Committee, which has one two members.
Council Committees may operate with a minimum of two members and maximum of three
members.
During the first Council Committee Meeting, the Councilmembers will select a Chair and Vice
Chair, either confirm the current meeting schedule or revise as needed, and review the bylaws.
The meeting schedule, once confirmed, will be posted on the City's website at:
