Commission on Aging Workgroups Working Groups • Working groups are formed to “consider a defined matter or matters and report its recommendation to the board” (see City Code 2-1-42). They are designed for a specific assignment or project and are always temporary. • An action item on an agenda is needed to establish a working group. The “defined matter” or objective of the working group must be clearly outlined during the vote. • A working group is automatically dissolved after it reports its recommendations to the board. (see City Code 2-1-2) • Should additional projects be identified after a working group is dissolved (reports recommendations), a new working group must be formed. • Working groups may only consist of less than a quorum of members but can include nonmembers such as community stakeholders. • There is no staff support provided for a working group.
