Substitute motion amending the Common Council Procedure and Rules.

Analysis

The provision permitting former Common Council members and department heads within the bar of the chambers is deleted.
3. The following matters are assigned to the Community and Economic Development Committee: Community Development Block Grant (all matters); Development Fund appropriations; Emerging Business Enterprises; Land Bank; Library System, and Neighborhood Improvement Development Corporation.
