Community Involvement
Seek community-wide representation on issues
Accept the Audit Committee recommendation for the Transportation Commission Sunset 
Review. Accept the Audit Committee’s recommendation and authorize continuation of the 
Transportation Commission.
BACKGROUND
At its December 12,2025 meeting, the Audit Committee voted unanimously (2-0) to 
recommend continuation of the Transportation Commission.
In September 2011, the Council adopted Resolution No. 8823 establishing a Sunset Review 
process for its boards and commissions. This resolution directed the Audit Committee to 
develop a schedule for reviewing the City’s boards and commissions to evaluate whether:
a) The reviewed board or commission is serving its intended purpose;
b) The purpose should be maintained or modified; and
c) The purpose has been served or is no longer required.
Subsequently, the Audit Committee is to recommend to the Council whether to continue or 
terminate the reviewed board or commission.
The Audit Committee confirmed its adopted process and adopted the current Sunset Review 
schedule in May 2024, with the goal of reviewing each applicable board or commission once 
every three years. The adopted process requires the City Auditor to notify each board or 
commission and its staff liaison of the scheduled review. The City Auditor also collects 
background information on the board or commission, including its purpose as stated in City 
Code, its annual reports and other information as requested by the Audit Committee, Council 
or otherwise deemed relevant. Public comment may also be provided to the Audit Committee 
at the scheduled meeting, in written format, or through other means.
For the current review schedule, the Audit Committee has completed nine Sunset Reviews, 
which are listed on page 2.
