Type 2 Advisory Boards (Arts and Culture, Citizen Review, and Human Services and Housing Funding) combine advisory functions with authority to make decisions on specified matters under City Code. Quasi-judicial commissions (Building Review, Historic Preservation, Land Use Review, Planning and Zoning, and Water commissions) use formal procedures to determine facts and interpret law with decisions subject to appeal to City Council or courts. Since 2015, the city has held "super issue" meetings convening multiple boards and commissions to discuss broader policy matters outside their standard functions.
