Nonlegislative members of the committee shall serve without compensation but
shall be reimbursed for their actual and necessary expenses, as set forth in

compensated for attendance at committee meetings from the legislative branch

The committee shall serve as a forum for the council and the elected

that is necessary to carry out and effectuate its advisory functions, duties, and
