This is based off of a working document that was created. I am currently taking a look at Council appointments and working with the Mayor's office to establish a better list.
The inactive boards were identified as the following in the report:
BGSU CRD identified these boards as inactive based off of TMC Chapter 141, but the Advisory Audit Board and Investment Advisory Board are still active but managed by the Auditor. The Health Commission is now housed in the Health Department, and some of the inactive park boards have been absorbed into the Park Advisory Board. The Labor Management Citizens Committee was disbanded, and the Sinking Fund Commission has already been repealed.
I will have a more comprehensive list prior to coming to Council and asking for approval of code changes.
Please let me know if you need anything else.
