The differences such as setting priorities, meeting frequency, and procedural structure can be integrated into one committee process. Integration Process Recommendation The following steps contain a recommended approach to integrating the two committees and the transition process is reflected in the proposed ordinance. INTEGRATING COMMITTEE MEMBERS 13= The Committee would be referred to as the "Citizens Advisory Committee". l' Consult with each committee member to determine if they went to continue to serve under the new structure. N Any member could continue to serve the remainder of their term on the integrated committee. This would likely produce a larger member committee than 11 throughout the transition period. N As committee member's term expire or when a member does not wish to continue, there would be no new appointments to the integrated committee until the number is below 11 members. A full integration is estimated to take about 1 to 2 years at which time new applicants would be eligible for appointment. 15, Page 4 43
