Council President Wayne Matewsky doled out Committee assignments last week, with most everyone finding a place on a Committee.
Matewsky has said under his leadership this year there will be fewer Committees of the Whole and more Committee meetings. He said he would rely on the Committee system to work out the details of issues, and that would hopefully shorten Council meetings and bring about better legislation in a more timely manner.
He announced five committees for the coming legislative year, with a revived Celebrations Committee still under consideration.
The Budget Committee will be chaired by Councilor Michael McLaughlin and co-chaired by Councilor Anthony DiPierro. All councilors will be members of this committee.
