Title
Amending Section 33.13(1) of the Madison General Ordinances related to composition of the Common Council Executive Committee to modify the CCEC appointment process.
Body
DRAFTER’S ANALYSIS: Under current ordinance, the Common Council President appoints five members of the Common Council Executive Committee (CCEC) as well as an alternate in the event that the immediate past President is no longer a member of the Council or continues to serve as President or Vice President. This ordinance would change the CCEC appointment process so that five members are chosen randomly from among the alders who wish to serve on the Committee. If fewer than five members submit their names to be appointed, the Council President appoints the remaining members and those appointments are submitted to the Council for confirmation. Any appointment of an alternate in lieu of the immediate past President being appointed is also submitted to the Common Council for confirmation.
