Rule No. 30 Introduction

Ordinances and resolutions shall be introduced in Council only by members of Council then present, with their names endorsed thereon, except such ordinances and resolutions as may be presented to Council upon recommendation of some committee of Council or some officer of the City to whom the subject matter has previously been referred. All proposed general legislation, introduced by an individual member of Council and not a committee, shall be deposited with the Clerk of Council at least ninety-six hours before the meeting at which such legislation is to be considered. The Council member introducing the legislation must be present at the meeting, or the matter will be removed from the agenda of the Council meeting.

   However, any resolution or ordinance involving the approving of an report of an assessment equalization board or an ordinance determining to proceed with a public improvement shall be not introduced for consideration by Council until the first Council meeting following the filing of the report of such equalization board, and in no case before a minimum of ten days has passed between the time of the report of the assessment equalization board and the next regular Council meeting.
