Policy 1220 Citizens Advisory Committee
Regulation 1220 Citizens Advisory Committee

Rationale:  This regulation provides guidelines on the criteria for committee appointments and procedures for the establishment of the Advisory Committees.  Again, there are no recommended changes, but the BOE should discuss the implementation of the policies.
