Title
SUBSTITUTE: Amending Section 33.16(2) of the Madison General Ordinances to reduce the Mayoral appointments to the Community Services Committee from nine to eight.
Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: This amendment would reduce Mayoral appointments to the Community Services Committee (CSC) from the current nine positions to eight positions. The Mayor would lose the authority to appoint one citizen member from and with the consent of the Early Childhood Care and Education Committee. The Early Childhood Care and Education Committee would gain the authority to appoint one of its members to the CSC subject to confirmation by the Common Council.
