A.                     Issue

On May 31, Alderperson Phillips requested City staff review the Municipal Code for references to the old eight-district, two-alders-per-district structure of the Common Council, and bring forward recommendations for amendments to ensure the code reflects the new twelve-district, one-alder-per-district structure.

 

 

B.                     Background/Options 

Staff completed a review of the Municipal Code and identified several references to “alderpersons” in the plural. No other references to an eight-district, two-alders-per-district Council structure were found.

 

Attached to this file is a list of all sections that should be updated to reflect the current twelve-district, one-alder-per-district structure.

 

C.                     Recommendation

Staff recommend the Common Council amend the various sections of the Municipal Code shown in the attachment to ensure conformance with the current twelve-district structure.
