Committee recommends shrinking Human Relations Commission to restore quorum
Summary
The committee recommended a favorable report on ordinance 01026 to reduce Human Relations Commission membership to nine to address persistent quorum problems, allowing the commission to resume its work if current and pending appointments are completed.
The committee recommended a favorable report on ordinance 01026, a proposal to reduce Human Relations Commission membership so the body can reach quorum and resume its work.
A committee member said the commission has had trouble achieving quorum under its current size (15) and that recent appointments would still leave the panel short of a quorum. Reducing membership to nine would, the member said, allow the commission to function if pending appointees are sworn in. The sponsor (Alderman Ki) was not present; a committee member spoke in support of the measure and the committee moved it forward by voice vote.
The committee recommended the ordinance favorably; detailed individual vote counts were not recorded in the transcript.
