A. The city council may create boards, commissions, and committees to assist in the conduct of its duties with such assignments as the city council may specify.

B. Unless specifically provided otherwise in a City ordinance, resolution, or other regulation, a council member who is the council liaison to any board, commission, or committee created under Chapter 2.03 BC shall not chair that body and shall be an ex officio, nonvoting member of that body.

C. Nothing in this chapter is intended to limit a council member’s right to take part in all discussion and debate in any matter before a board, commission, or committee; provided, however, that a council member shall make clear when statements the council member makes are personal positions and when they are known positions of the city council.
