City Council Liaison <br /> Roles and Responsibilities <br /> (Communications Committee) <br /> Committee Summary <br /> The Communications Committee (CC) is established per City Code, Section 220.06. <br /> The purpose of the CC is to facilitate positive interaction with the community, inform the <br /> community of news events that are occurring within the City, and to advise the City <br /> Council on community communication related issues.

They are, nonetheless, expected to act <br /> and participate like an active member of the CC.
