Standing committees of the city council are key working bodies of the representative body of local self-government. It is within the framework of their activities that preliminary consideration of draft decisions, analysis of budgetary and land issues, formulation of recommendations for plenary sessions, and exercise of control functions take place. In fact, it is at the level of commissions that the substantial part of deputy work takes place.
