So, if the Mayor follows his 10 year (informal unwritten) rule which is contrary to the law the Council passed, here’s who will soon be off committees . . .
A few quick notes. The council recently passed the law that I cited in yesterday’s blog – so that we would have a written rule. (Hint to Mayor) The reason the committee chose 12 years instead of 10 is because we standardized a 3 year term where possible and so we had to choose 9 or 12 years and we decided on 12.
Rumor has it, the Mayor wants the rules to apply to Alders as well, so I’ve included them – according to the data, it only applies to Verveer and Compton. (I believe this would include Joe Clausius getting off Affirmative Action and Larry Palm getting off the Library Board and I think Verveer and Bruer have both been on Board of Estimates more than 10 years.)
The data looks like it has some mistakes, but I didn’t fix them, I just used what was on the website.
Finally, some people don’t have expiration dates, I’ve included them, because I don’t see how they are exempt from the ordinance (12 years after July 1) or the unwritten informal oral tradition that is contrary to the law the Council passed.
I counted 30 people who the rule did not previously apply to.
I counted 29 people who will be off their committees in 2009.
(The numbers went up when I added some more committees.)
Here’s what my coding means:
Already served 10 years, rule not previously applied
Out this year
Out next year
Out in next two years
As many have pointed out, does this make sense when we are having trouble filling appointments? Vacancies on committees count as absences, so it makes it hard to get quorum. The council should have passed the law that said if the Mayor didn’t appoint people within 90 days, the council could fill the vacancy – but several members chickened out when the Mayor blew a gasket.
Finally . . . here’s the info!!!
