Proposed by District 1 Councilman Pat Lewis, the committee would ask for input from a "diverse range of citizens" on how consolidation benefits the City of Lafayette. According to a release, Lewis says it would provide "an open, public, transparent forum for the discussion of the city's continuing problems with consolidation." The committee would consist of seven members - each of the five districts would directly appoint a single committee member, and two additional members would be appointed by the city council as a whole.
