AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 140 RELATED TO THE SUSTAINABILITY COMMITTEE AND THE COMMUNITY EQUITY COMMISSION COMPOSITION AND TERMS City Manager Gipson reported that the proposed ordinance would amend Chapter 140 related to the Sustainability Committee and Community Equity Commission terms and compositions to align with other boards and commissions to assist the City of Clayton in the development and communication of financial goals and strategies. While the format has substantially changed there are only three material changes:
• Broadens the eligibility for appointment to the Sustainability Committee as an ex-officio member. • Establishes a term limit of three consecutive full terms for the Community Equity Commission. • Eliminates the ward distribution requirements for both committees and establishes a strong preference for equal distribution.

The motion passed unanimously (5-0) on a voice vote.
