Citizens Advisory Committee 2026 work plan calendar presentation
body
Prepared by: Jason Serpa, Public Works Manager, jason.serpa@visalia.city, (559) 713-4533
Department Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council receive a presentation on the Citizens Advisory Committee work plan calendar and provide suggestions or recommended actions for the following plan period of calendar year 2026.
Summary:
On March 15, 2021, City Council recommended that City committees report periodically to City Council. This suggestion was a result of the reorganization of past existing committees and the combining of certain memberships. The CAC and City staff will be presenting this update to Council as requested.
Background Discussion:
The Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) was formed by the City Council in 1969 and has been tasked by the Council with serving as part of the Community Development Block Grant review process, conducting the Public Opinion Survey, reviewing the City's Rates and Fees, and conducing the Non-Profit grant application and review process. As part of the Measure T accountability process, the CAC was charged with being the group that provides oversight of the Measure, in addition to an independent auditor. With Measure N, the CAC was charged with appointing two members to the Oversight Committee.
The following work plan calendar is proposed for the calendar year 2026. In the future, the work plan can be presented in the same format or by fiscal year, as Council prefers.
