The committee will be an advisory body to both the Planning Commission and the City Council and will not be a decision-making body.

Their job will be to make recommendations that reflect the values of the community, encourage other community members to attend and help present information or facilitate discussions and provide updated and get feedback from constituencies and interest groups.

The City Council Monday night confirmed the appointments.
