New councilors will lead several major committees.
First-term councillor Jim Braude will chair the housing committee as well as the government operations, rules and claims committee. And first-term member Marjorie C. Decker will chair the neighborhood and long term planning committee.
The ordinance committee will be co-chaired by Kathleen L. Born and first-term member David P. Maher while the finance committee will be led by Michael L. Sullivan.
"I believe that this is a fair representation of what the councillors would like to work on," Galluccio said. "It puts to use the energy and capabilities of all of the individual councillors."
The council will not be meeting next week so that members can attend the Annual Congressional Cities Conference in Washington, D.C., a weekend meeting of mayors and council members from across the nation.
