5 matches

sorry, number 5 is the standing committees, so that changes from Committee of the Whole to standing committees, which is what we're debating. Right, that doesn't exist. So would we— would the clerk be able to get us the printout of— make a resolution number 12 of the previous committee, um, rules of order?

20:56

Yeah, if I may, so the resolution number 5, what I have in front of me as well, has the standing committees, bottom of page 2, top of page 3. So our rules of order from the previous term didn't have standing committees, just the Committee of the Whole. I believe this copy was submitted the beginning of 2024, the beginning of our last term, correct, along with the proposal for Committee of the Whole. So I'm looking at this now, as far as I can tell, resolution number 5 isn't what the council adopted during its last term.

19:03

Yeah, well, we obviously need to pass rules of order tonight. When I look at resolution number 5, that one is standing committees, and that would go back to a full committee structure. And that's one that I'd rather— either we could propose to go back to the rules of order of what they were originally. I don't see that one proposed here. I would like that, just to put everything in committee for us to fully discuss if we want subcommittees or what that looks like.

19:29

I don't know if we could print that off, if we may, or otherwise I would be voting for the subcommittees before I voted for the standing committees. At this point. So I don't know what everybody else wants to do.

Mine reads standing committees.
