The Advisory Bodies Enhancement Project is underway

Portland is revising its advisory bodies to align with its new governmental structure, aiming for greater efficiency and clarity. The first status update of the Advisory Bodies Enhancement Project, published on July 22, outlines several draft deliverables. Key proposals include a citywide purpose statement, an updated classification system, and guidelines for both the creation and dissolution of committees. The city encourages residents to provide feedback on these initiatives through a dedicated feedback form. Additionally, general questions can be directed to the project's email address.

This project reflects Portland’s commitment to enhancing civic engagement and governance. The updates aim to ensure that advisory bodies operate effectively within the new framework. Improved guidelines could foster better collaboration between the city and its residents.
