Unless otherwise specified by Federal law, State law, the City Charter, or other provisions of this Code of Ordinances, appointed committees, commissions, and boards are advisory to the Council; they play a unique and important role in this advisory capacity, assisting the Council to carry out its responsibilities for making the decisions which shape City policy.
