Council places outside-counsel policy letter on file and passes salary amendment for public-health director
Summary
Council accepted a draft letter and placed a policy on outside legal counsel on file for future revision, then reconsidered and passed a salary-amendment ordinance for the director of health and human services on second reading and enrollment.
The council reviewed a communication from the city council president proposing a policy and ordinance on the use of outside legal counsel. The presiding officer said the draft was intended to give councilors an opportunity to propose changes; the council voted to accept the item and place it on file so the new council could consider changes and vote at a later date.
Separately, the council moved to reconsider a salary-amendment ordinance for the director of health and human services, then passed the measure on second reading and enrollment as amended. Members recessed briefly to sign the ordinance and returned to adjourn. The council president and vice president oversaw the procedural motions and the clerk read the ordinance into the record before the final voice vote.
The session ended after a motion to adjourn passed by voice vote.
