At a special meeting on February 3, the Resource Management Commission (RMC) voted unanimously against a proposal to merge with the Zero Waste Advisory Commission (ZWAC). The RMC's resolution emphasized that the overlap between the two commissions is limited and that merging would lead to members addressing issues outside their expertise. This proposal is part of a City Council effort to streamline governance, stemming from recommendations made in a 2014 report that reviewed numerous citizen advisory bodies. Despite arguments for efficiency, the RMC's objections highlight concerns over focus and specialization.
Members of the Resource Management Commission unanimously opposed the merger with the Zero Waste Advisory Commission, citing narrow overlap and potential dilution of their expertise.
The RMC argues that merging with ZWAC would require members to engage on an expansive array of issues, diverting focus from their primary responsibilities.
