The mayors asked them to form this task force, that's it. That's not a mandate. There was no legal action, and the task force or advisory board or whatever it is has no vested power to do anything. They can meet or not meet, recommend or not recommend, do anything they want. And neither Council nor Commission is obliged to so much as answer a phone call from them. If actual recommendations come out of this, there's a good chance Council and Commission will in fact at least give them a hearing, just because nobody else is doing anything on the issue. But there's no obligation on anybody's part to do anything.
And Bill Lyons is in fact quoted in the story above.
