To be fair to the CEC, Mayor Roe suggested asking the CEC to also review their scope or function, as previously directed to the HRC, to allow the City Council to take that into consideration during their discussions as well. Councilmember Laliberte agreed to have both the HRC and CEC review their re- spective enabling ordinances, sooner rather than later, � and to plan on more fre- quent check-ins with the CEC rather than only once or twice annually. Without objection, Mayar Roe asked staff to include the CEC along with the HRC directive in charging them to look at their scope and functions and to provide their feedback to the City Council. City Manager Trudgeon duly noted that revised directive. As part of this broader review, Councilmember Willmus asked that City Manager Trudgeon also consult with CAC staff liaisons as assigned and provide feedback on whether those positions were good �ts, and a sense from staff on their level of commitment. Councilmember Willmus opined that aspect could have great im- pact on the success of an advisory commission. e.
