Title
Amending Section 4.02(6) of the Madison General Ordinances to eliminate the Capital Improvement Review Committee and to eliminate the referral of the budget to the Plan Commission.
Body
DRAFTER’S ANALYSIS: This ordinance updates the process for preparation of the Mayor’s Capital budget by eliminating the formality of the Capital Improvement Review Committee. It also eliminates the referral of the Capital Budget to the Plan Commission which reflects current practice. As currently structured, the formality of the CIRC raises Open Meeting law issues, such as the possibility that any time the Mayor discusses the capital budget with the Comptroller, the Director of Public Works of the Director of Planning and Community and Economic Development, a negative quorum is created.
