Council moves January prefile deadline to Dec. 23 after suspending rules
Summary
The council voted to suspend rule 1.002 to change the January legislative prefile date from Dec. 26, 2024 to Dec. 23, 2024 at 2 p.m., after members debated holiday timing and public-notice intervals.
Council moved and approved a suspension of rule 1.002.c.2 to change the January legislative prefile date. The original motion sought to move the prefile from Dec. 26, 2024 at 2 p.m. to Dec. 30, 2024 at 2 p.m.; members discussed notice periods and staff workload and then amended the motion to set the prefile to Monday, Dec. 23, 2024 at 2 p.m. The amended suspension passed on roll call.
Members noted the intent was to give staff and the public a better holiday schedule while complying as much as possible with notice rules; some members commented that the 11-day notice rule was being shortened and that the amendment required the suspension of that rule. The motion was approved and the council adjourned after concluding a long legislative day.
