The city of Gresham is looking to do away with its citizen advisory committees, much to the dismay of members who have been listless since the new year.

During a City Council meeting on May 2, city staff recommended the dissolution of the advisory committees. It was prompted by a survey sent to current members of the groups, neighborhood associations, and the community. The main concern was why involvement has been so sparse.
