Committee member moves to accept code change to let legislative committee engage with candidates and stakeholders
Summary
A councilor moved June 15 to accept amendments to Chapter 9, Article 8, Section H to permit the legislative committee to engage with candidates, partners and stakeholders; the motion was seconded but the transcript does not record a final vote.
A councilor moved Thursday to accept proposed amendments to Chapter 9, Article 8, Section H of the city code that would explicitly allow the legislative committee to engage in conversations with candidates for office, partners and other stakeholders. The motion was seconded; the transcript provided does not record a final roll call or vote.
The draft language, included in the meeting packet, was presented as a one-paragraph change to the code. Committee Chair Councilor Daniel Carson opened the item and reminded members the amendments had been discussed at the prior legislative committee meeting.
A councilor who introduced the motion said, “I really look forward to make a motion to accept the recommended changes.” The motion was seconded by another committee member and the chair acknowledged the motion and second.
The committee did not record a completion of a vote in the supplied transcript segments. The item was followed by the next agenda item at the same meeting.
If formally adopted, the amendment would authorize the legislative committee to engage directly with candidates and outside partners on issues within the committee’s purview. The transcript does not include a recorded vote, next steps beyond standard agenda procedure, or an implementation timeline.
