Title
Amending Section 33.13(1) of the Madison General Ordinances to clarify the membership on the Common Council Organizational Committee when the Council President is elected to another term.
Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: The ordinance on the membership of the CCOC states that the immediate Past President is automatically an alternate member, and if the immediate Past President is not on the Council, the President is to appoint the alternate. The amendment provides for the same result if the immediate Past President is elected to another term as President or to President Pro Tem.
