Votes at a glance: Council approves executive-session referral for ethics budget, two part-time ethics staff and $95,000 for learning-management system
Summary
During the same hearing the council approved three motions by unanimous consent: (1) to move the board of ethics budget items into executive session, (2) to add two part-time positions for the board of ethics at roughly $85,000–$86,000 total, and (3) to fund a $95,000 recurring amount for a learning-management system.
The Detroit City Council recorded three motions on the record during the meeting and took action by unanimous consent (no objections recorded).
1) Executive session for ethics budget: Council member Coleman A. Young II moved to place the Board of Ethics budget into executive session. The motion was approved by unanimous consent; no roll-call vote was recorded in the transcript.
2) Two part-time positions for the Board of Ethics: Council member Fred Durhal III moved to add two part-time staff positions for the Board of Ethics at an estimated cost of $85,000–$86,000. The motion was approved by unanimous consent; the transcript records no roll-call tally.
3) Learning-management system recurring funding: Council member Fred Durhal III moved to add a recurring $95,000 allocation for a learning-management system. That motion was approved by unanimous consent; no vote tally was recorded in the transcript.
Each motion was adopted without objection in the hearing. The transcript does not list formal roll-call tallies or recorded ‘‘yes/no’’ votes; it records the motions, the movers and the chair’s statement that, "Hearing no objections, that action will be taken." The council did not provide further details in the hearing about implementation timelines or department assignments for the new positions or the learning-management system.
