SUBJECT:
Annual Review of Committee
Charters
ACTION REQUESTED:
None
BACKGROUND:
ERMU Commission Policy G.2g - Commission Committees, which is attached, states that "The
Commission will review the committee charter and performance of any standing committee at
least annually to determine if changes are required or if the committee is still required."
DISCUSSION:
The annual review of the committee charters is an opportunity for the Commission to review
the purpose for the committees and whether they are still needed. This is also an opportunity
for the Commission to give direction to the committees. The schedule of this annual review is
intentionally prior to March when the Commission appoints committee members.
There are currently four commission -created committees: Wage & Benefits Committee,
Financial Reserves & Investment Committee, Information Security Committee, and Dispute
Resolution Committee. Their committee charters are attached.
The only change to these policies during the last calendar year was approved in February 2024
and consisted of bringing the Dispute Resolution Committee language in line with the other
charters by stating all meetings will be conducted in accordance with Open Meeting Law.
