Title
SUBSTITUTE Amending Section 33.27 of the Madison General Ordinances, “Staff Committees,” to provide an introduction, clarify titles, and correct inconsistencies.
Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: This substitute ordinance is not intended to make substantive changes in the operation of Staff Committees. It provides an introduction to more clearly identify the three types of Staff Committees. It corrects a typographical error and eliminates two committees that no longer exist. It provides clarity as to which rules apply to the various staff committees. The ordinance is sponsored by the City Attorney pursuant to Sec. 2.05(6)(i), MGO, which allows the City Attorney to sponsor ordinance amendments to “correct errors, omissions or inconsistencies therein.”
