Report of the Mayor submitting a listing of boards, committees and commissions that did not meet in 2005.
Body
Section 3.46 of the Madison General Ordinances was created as a tool for the Mayor and Common Council to use as an annual review of boards, commissions and committees, and, if necessary, to take action to delete any boards, commissions and committees that did not meet in a calendar year.

This committee was created March 18, 2003 for the purpose of investigating the growing issue of alcohol-related behaviors in City of Madison Parks and central city areas. The resolution requested a report back to the Council by August 30, 2003. The committee does not have full membership and staff reports that the committee has never met.
