Title
Motion amending the Common Council Procedure and Rules relating to budget amendments.
Analysis
The Common Council Procedure and Rules requires a two-thirds vote to allow consideration at the budget adoption meeting of a budget amendment that either has not been submitted by the finance and personnel committee or which, if submitted and not recommended by the committee, had not been resubmitted to the city clerk for further consideration at least 24 hours before the budget adoption meeting.  This file makes the motion non-debatable.

Article IV. COUNCIL FILES.
 
Section 9. Budget Amendments.
