Mark subcommittees of other committees

[inghamn]

Many of the committees are subcommittees of others. For instance, the Common Council has subcommittees: Rules Committee, Land Use Committee, Funding Committee, etc.

We want to be able to tie these subcommittees to their parent committee.

We should probably have a parent_id foreign key in the committee table. I'm not sure how we want to display the list of committees, once it's a tree.

I'm not objecting to a c tree structure if its really needed. But this seems more complex than necessary to solve a simple issue. Why not have separate Council , Rules, John Hopkins, etc committees. Then create a rollup calendar -- City Council (All) -- that includes all of these. I don't think we need to create a parent/child structure unless it's really needed. Seems like we can solve whatever problem we currently have with our existing system.

It's not just the calendaring. There is a desire to have the Common Council also list agendas, minutes, and packets for subcommittee meetings.
