Series consists of minutes of special committees, boards, commissions, task forces, and of other "non-standing" committees of Council (although there is flexibility about what differentiates special and standing committees or what defines a special committee during some periods). The earliest minutes consist of nine bound volumes of "Special Committees" (1890-1891, 1930-1948) and "Traffic Commission" (1929-1948), prepared in Council minutes style, and numbered volumes 66-74, a continuation in the numbering of series 33 (Standing committee minutes). 1892-1929 and 1960-1974 special committee minutes appear not to have been kept as a separate recordkeeping unit, but were frequently quoted verbatim within Council minutes (series 31). 1930-1948 minutes in the bound volumes and 1949-1959 minutes are arranged by year, often with minutes of various committees interfiled (with the exception of the Traffic Commission which is a separate set). Files dating from 1975 are also arranged by year and therein alphabetically by committee name.
