Guest Kim Posted September 7, 2010 at 08:49 PM Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 at 08:49 PM We have a council law that allows an ordinance to be "open" for amendments on second reading (passage to second reading is done by unanimous vote). However the question is whether amendments may be made before, during, or after the required public hearing. The council code does not forbid amendments from being made before or during public hearing nor does it spell out that amendments "must" be made after public hearing - but it has always been the Council's practice to make amendments after public hearing. Is there a section of RROR that would assist me with this? Thanks in advance!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Mervosh Posted September 7, 2010 at 10:00 PM Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 at 10:00 PM It's not uncommon to see this in governmental bodies, but there are always plenty of special rules of order to cover these issues. I'd suggest sitting down with your solicitor and maybe a parliamentarian to find a good compromise that will keep you "legal" and thinks running smoothly, both.
