RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, the Common Council of the City of Rochester wishes to establish a standing
committee to provide oversight for those outside entities that receive City funds.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Common Council of the City of Rochester
that the City does hereby establish a Rochester Outside Agency Oversight Committee
(“Committee”). The Committee shall consist of three councilmembers as appointed by the
Council. The Committee shall appoint a Chair and Vice-Chair.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Committee’s purpose is to (1) review all matters
necessary to understand the long-term sustainability of those outside agencies whose level of
funding received from the City is equal to or greater than $100,000 (or a minimum of 60 percent
of the entity’s annual operating budget) and/or the agencies operate in a City-owned facility
(building); and (2) make recommendations to the Common Council on those matters and issues
as the Committee sees fit as they relate to the level of City funding and use of City-owned facilities.
The Committee has no authority to make final decisions on any matter and only acts in an advisory
capacity to the Common Council and all other city officials.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Committee may adopt its own rules to govern its
meetings and procedures. The rules must be consistent with the City’s Home Rule Charter and
the Rochester Code of Ordinances.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that each Committee member, including the Chair and Vice-
Chair, will have one vote on all matters acted upon by the Committee.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that, due to the importance of the services provided by each
outside agency and the City’s annual resource investment in each outside agency, all meeting
agenda packets and materials received by the Committee will be provided to the entire Common
Council and Mayor.
