- Analysis -

Currently, the city charter provides that the common council cannot take from committee any resolution appropriating money or creating any charge against any city fund, or any ordinance; such matters can only come before the council on the report of the standing committee to which they were referred. This charter ordinance allows the council to take such matters from committee by a majority vote of the council, if the following conditions are met:

1.At least 30 days have passed since the matter was introduced at a common council meeting and referred to a committee.

2.A notice of intent to take the matter from committee has been filed with the city clerk at least 24 hours prior to the time of the common council meeting.

3.With respect to an ordinance, the city attorney has approved the legality and enforceability of the ordinance.

4.With respect to any matter appropriating money out of, or creating any charge against any city fund, the city comptroller has indicated in writing that there is a sufficient portion of the proper city fund unappropriated to meet the appropriation or charge.

If a matter is taken from committee, the common council may proceed to consider and take action on the matter, providing the committee had previously held a public hearing on the matter. If a public hearing has not been held previously by the committee, the common council may hold a public hearing on the file, and then proceed to take action, or may refer the file to the committee from which it was taken, or to another committee, with a directive that a public hearing be held on the file at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the committee.
