Council adopts ordinance giving mayor vote in Committee of the Whole (A-581)
Summary
Ordinance A-581, which eliminates individual committees and grants the mayor voting rights in the Committee of the Whole, passed on a roll-call vote after a motion from Alderperson Stevenson; the minutes record the council's affirmative votes.
The Common Council approved Ordinance A-581 to amend Chapter 12 governing boards, commissions and committees. The change, as summarized in the minutes, grants the mayor voting rights in the Committee of the Whole and eliminates individual committees. Alderperson Stevenson moved to approve the ordinance; Alderperson Crow seconded and the roll-call vote recorded listed ayes and the ordinance was adopted.
Minutes do not record extended debate on the ordinance's merits or implementation steps. Because A-581 changes who votes in a Committee of the Whole, the change affects internal voting procedures and will require the clerk and city attorney to reflect the amendment in official code documentation.
