Several committees were established by the Hays City Commission over the years for a specific purpose, but now the commission is evaluating the mission of those groups to see if all are still needed or if other changes should be made such as instituting term limits.

Commissioner Henry Schwaller says part of the problem is replacing committee members after many years of service and the difficulty in finding new people to serve.

Two groups being discussed are the Sister Cities and Beautification committees. The commission also wants to eliminate the Neighborhood Revitalization Committee and discuss the possibility of term limits for city commissioners.
