Council Vice President Crescimbeni reported that he had been contacted by a member of the Elder Affairs Commission informing him that there had been slots on the Commission that had not been filled and that some of the Commissioners wondered if the Commission still had a charge or mandate. He suggested that the Committee consider resuming the reviews and assessment of boards and commissions in the Special Meetings. The Chair said that the Special Meetings could very well focus on boards and commissions rather continue to review of Council rules.
