In general, the technical sub -committees will make recommendations to the Steering Committee.
Upon code adoption approval by the Steering Committee, a public comment period will be held that
includes 2 public forums. After any adjustments, the proposed ordinances will then be submitted to
the City Council by city staff for their consideration and possible approval. Since this is an Ad Hoc
Committee made by Council Resolution, all meetings are public and will have time allocated for
public comments within their agendas.
