Re: NRO 5-6, Compensation
MOTION BY ALDERWOMAN MELIZZI-GOLJA TO ACCEPT, PLACE ON FILE AND WAIVE
THE PROVISIONS OF NRO 5-6
ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Moriarty
What does it mean to waive the provisions of NRO 5-6?
President McCarthy
Under our rules and certain attendance conditions, the Board has to vote to waive the rules in
order to give the stipends out for the quarter.
Alderman McCarthy
Would anybody like to explain why we’re willing to waive NRO 5-6 in this case?
Mr. Bolton, Corporation Counsel
The ordinance itself specifies the conditions that it could be waived, and one of those is illness.
The Board may decide that that is what’s involved here.
Alderman Moriarty
I’ve asked and no one has ever said anything about a justification for absence. Would anybody
like to fill me in? Okay. I'll be voting no.
