BACKGROUND
Councilmember Briggs requested a work session to gain a better understanding of the CAPR Committee and its role. Staff has placed a work session item on the February 21, 2017, Council agenda in order to facilitate this discussion.

The first meeting was held on February 24, 2004, and consisted of Mayor Perry McNeil, Councilmember Bob Montgomery, and Councilmember Jack Thomson. Carla Romine, Director of Human Resources, was the ex-officio member.
The CAPR Committee was formalized as a standing committee of the Council with the adoption of resolution R2004-020 on April 20, 2004. The resolution specified that the members shall consist of three City Councilmembers who shall serve at the pleasure of the City Council until successors are duly appointed by the Council, with the Director of Human Resources as an ex officio member.
