believe requires more in-depth study and input by citizens of the
Community. Council then creates a temporary committee, called an “Ad
Hoc Committee,” and assigns them the responsibility of studying the
particular issue and reporting their findings and/or recommendations
to the full Council. Once the Committee's assigned responsibilities
have been completed and presented to the City Council, the Ad Hoc
Committee normally is dissolved.

the duties thereof are deemed to be incompatible.
