Aldermen approve ordinance language change to City Code Section 110.195 (B2)
Summary
The board approved preparing an ordinance to change the wording of provision B2 in City Code Section 110.195, citing transparency and notification timing; the motion passed in the work session with no recorded opposition.
The Board of Aldermen instructed staff to prepare an ordinance revising provision B2 of City Code Section 110.195. The change reflects language requested at a prior meeting intended to clarify notification and transparency related to RBAs (requests between aldermen regarding agenda items).
During discussion aldermen debated whether the change would add useful transparency or merely duplicate existing processes already covered in the work session. Supporters said the edit provides clearer notification timing and an additional check, while others said it risked redundancy. A motion adopting the proposed packet wording was made, seconded and approved with no opposition.
Next steps: staff will draft the ordinance and bring it forward for the formal ordinance process as instructed by the board.
