Pittsfield committee waives election of officers for short-term panel
Summary
The Auditing Services Evaluation Committee voted 5-0 to waive Council Rule 26B and not elect a vice chairperson or secretary, citing the committee's short duration.
At its July 13 meeting the Pittsfield Auditing Services Evaluation Committee voted unanimously to waive Council Rule 26B that ordinarily requires election of a Vice Chairperson and a Secretary for the committee. Councilor Amuso moved to waive the rule, citing the committee's short duration; after brief discussion the motion passed 5-0.
Chairperson Cunningham opened the item and handled the vote; committee members present—Councilor Amuso, Councilor White, Councilor Warren and Karen Kalinowsky—supported the waiver. The waiver will leave the committee without formally elected officers for its remaining meetings; the committee proceeded with substantive review of audit firm references and agreed to gather and review written bid proposals before taking further procedural steps.
