Permanent vs temporary city laes

[Guest steve beilgard]

If a city council makes and approves a motion, how long is it law considering laws of a permanent nature must be made by code or ordinance?

 

[Richard Brown]

Steve, your question is really a legal question and we don't do legal here.  From a parliamentary standpoint, adopted motions stay in effect indefinitely... permanently... unless by its own terms the motion expires or its intended purpose has been fully completed, such as a motion to purchase a computer.  It remains in effect until the computer is purchased.  After that, I suppose it's somewhat moot. Your question is one that is better suited for someone like the city attorney to answer.
