PROVIDING FOR CONFIDENTIAL REDACTIONS ON THE RECORD OF EXPENDITURES
Given its first reading; assigned to the PERSONNEL/ADMINISTRATIVE AFFAIRS COMMITTEE by
President McCarthy
Alderman Siegel
Why isn’t this going to the Finance Committee? This is the Record of Expenditures.
President McCarthy
Normally it would be taken up by the Personnel Committee. That's where traditionally changes to
process have gone. | can refer it to the Finance Committee as well if you like.
Alderman Cookson
| think we could change that tradition, don’t you? Let’s send it to Finance.
Alderman Siegel
| honestly think we will get a better vetting of the legislation before the Finance Committee. That’s my
opinion; obviously it’s not my choice.
President McCarthy
It is if you want to make a motion to refer it to the Finance Committee.
MOTION BY ALDERMAN SIEGEL TO REFER O-16-015 TO THE FINANCE COMMITTEE
ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Deane
Is that in lieu of the Personnel Committee?
Alderman Siegel
My preference is...| don’t see why we have to send it to multiple committees. It would be instead of the
Personnel/Administrative Affairs specifically because of what it involves.
