Alderwoman-at-Large Shoshanna Kelly
RELATIVE TO ADDRESSING POSSIBLE INEQUITIES IN SICK LEAVE POLICY FOR
CERTAIN UNAFFILIATED EMPLOYEES
Given its second reading;
MOTION BY ALDERMAN WILSHIRE TO RE-REFER R-18-066 TO THE PERSONNEL/
ADMINISTRATIVE AFFAIRS COMMITTEE
ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Lopez
| think it is very gracious of Alderman Wilshire to re-refer it to Committee. As we just found out there is a
lot of work that gets done in those committees and we do have some pretty detailed conversations about
issues, before bringing them back to the Board of Aldermen. | think it was a very unfortunate situation
having an e-mail sent out which cast a specific perception of that because | feel that it undermines the
work that we do in the Committee. So while | understand the reasoning behind taking another look at it
and making sure that everybody is happy moving forward, | also think that is important to remember that
the work that the committees do is important and our role as Aldermen is an important part of that.
MOTION CARRIED

PROPOSING AN AMENDMENT TO THE CITY CHARTER RELATIVE TO FILLING
VACANCIES ON ELECTED BOARDS BY MAJORITY VOTE OF THE REMAINING MEMBERS
OF THAT BOARD
Given its second reading;
MOTION BY ALDERWOMAN KELLY THAT R-18-073 IS NECESSARY AND THAT IT BE TABLED
AT THE FULL BOARD LEVEL PENDING THE SCHEDULING OF A PUBLIC HEARING
ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Jette
As a point of order | think we can question. So does that mean that we are approving this and that it will
be scheduled for a public hearing at some future date but the details of it are what they are and cannot
be changed later. Or can amendments be made to it? I’m not sure.
