CITIZENS ACCOUNTABILITY COMMITTEE:
Let?s have the staff to look into creating a citizens accountability
committee and look at it from the standpoint of the discretionary fund money to
include some of these projects that we are working on. This would allow the

decisions with regards to the projects on the priority list and where it should
be on that priority list, as well as, understanding how we are going to utilize
these funds. (Request of Councilor Davis and Barnes)
Have the staff to research to find out if we are pre-empted by State law
from creating our own oversight committee; however, the Administration may be
able to create an advisory committee related to the discretionary funds.
