The Lafayette Protect the City Committee met tonight to consider its report.
The committee was formed by the Lafayette City Council earlier this year to study how the city has been impacted by consolidation, specifically, the finances, they say.
The committee met several times, and hosted town halls to obtain public input.
The committee s draft report suggests the current form of government is not working for the city, but citizens who showed up to the town halls seemed split about what to do.
Two reports were brought to the committee s attention. One being solely from Mark Pope who said his opinion was of his experience, personal encounters, and time spent at deconsolidation town halls.

Lafayette’s new seven-member Protect the City Committee will meet for the first time on March 16 to start the process of producing a report on Lafayette’s consolidated local government.
City Councilman Pat Lewis, who led the charge to create the committee at the start of this year, confirmed the details of its first meeting, saying he plans to make a presentation for the committee’s seven members, most of whom already have experience with Lafayette Consolidated Government, during the March 16 meeting, which is planned for 11 a.m. in City Hall at 705 W. University Ave.
The committee will also elect a chair and vice chair, Lewis said, and he is planning a question and answer session for the committee members to better understand their tasks during the first meeting as well.
