City Council Committees


There are currently five standing City Council Committees, each of which is made up of two Councilmembers.

The committees meet monthly to review issues such as those shown below. The committees then make recommendations to the City Council for action on items they have considered.

The Mayor makes new committee assignments following the reorganization of the City Council at the end of the calendar year. Committee members serve one-year terms. Committee agendas are available on the City's Web site. For more information, call (925) 671-3495.
