as indicated in article histories. Amendments noted where applicable.]
[Adopted 9-18-2012 by Ord. No. 2012-26]
The Town Board may at any time create whatever committees and
commissions that it deems necessary. Currently, the following commissions
and standing committees have been created and are in effect: Town
Plan Commission.
The committees and commissions of the Town Board shall be appointed
by the Town Board Chairperson, subject to confirmation by the Town
Board. The appointments to each standing committee and commission
shall be made at the annual organizational meeting of the Town Board
or at such other times as such appointments shall come before the
Board. Committees and commissions shall review such matters as may
be referred to them by the Town Board and shall submit recommendations
for Town Board action. No person not a legal resident of the Town
of Pacific may serve on any Town committee or commission.
Every committee and commission created by or existing under
the ordinances of the Town of Pacific shall:
Nothing in § 17-3 shall preclude the calling of a special meeting or with dispensing with the publication of notice or such posting of the agenda, for good cause, provided such special meetings shall comply in all respects with the provisions set forth in §§ 19.81 to 19.89, Wis. Stats.
A.
All committees/commissions are subunits of the Town Board and shall
not perform any executive or administrative Town function other than
as specifically authorized by ordinance or policy adopted by the Town
Board.
B.
Each committee/commission shall give the full Town Board a report
on all matters referred to it. Such report shall recommend a definite
action on each item and shall be approved by a majority of the committee/commission
members present. Each committee/commission report shall include the
date, time and place of the meeting and the members attending. Each
such committee/commission report, verbal or written, is deemed to
be the product of the entire committee/commission, whether any item
therein is approved unanimously or not. Each such report should provide
all necessary historical background to familiarize the Town Board
with the issue.
In case of ambiguity or apparent conflict between the preceding
definition of committee/commission authority and a definition in this
Code of the authority of a Town officer, employee, board or association,
the latter shall prevail.
All Town officers shall, upon request of the chairperson of
any committee/commission, confer with the committee/commission and
supply such information as the committee/commission may request upon
any pending matter.
