Council introduces ordinance to terminate the commission for access and local orientation programming (CALP)
Summary
Councilmember Smotherson introduced Bill 9571, a proposed ordinance repealing specific University City Municipal Code sections to terminate the CALP commission; the bill received its first reading.
Council member Smotherson introduced an ordinance that would repeal multiple sections of the University City Municipal Code and terminate the commission for access and local orientation programming, known as CALP; the measure received its first reading.
Bill 9571 was read into the record as "an ordinance repealing sections 120.14, 120.750, 120.760, 120.770, 120.780, 120.790, 120.800, 120.810 and 120.820 of the University City Municipal Code relating to the commission for access and local orientation programming, CALP, and terminating CALP." Councilmember Smotherson introduced the bill and the clerk completed the first reading; the item did not receive a council vote at this meeting.
Why it matters: Repealing the listed code sections would formally terminate CALP and remove the municipal code provisions that established or governed that commission.
Details: The council did not discuss the substance of the repeal at length during the meeting and no motion or vote to adopt the ordinance was taken. The item will proceed through the standard ordinance process, including additional readings and potential council debate before any final action.
