MessageOh, yeah.  That's what we need.  Let's see.  Five members of the city
council?

Here is a challenge to you math wizards.  How many (total) one-member,
two-member, three-member, and four-member subcommittees can we organize?

Then we will have to organize an independent "volunteer" subcommittee to
research and explain to the city council why nothing is getting
accomplished.

    I agree with Pam. Smaller subcommittees work more quickly and allow for
less formal rules when working with the public. This makes the public more
comfortable and is more likely to make people feel comfortable in
approaching and working with members of the council. Some people are shy.
They don't mind working with a few, but feel uncomfortable talking to the
entire council.
    I would keep the subcommittees small and find other ways to deal with
any problems you may have in smaller subcommittees. The members of the
council that are not on the committee can always attend the meetings in an
unofficial capacity, as they are open to the public.
