JUDICIARY & LEGISLATION Meeting Minutes October 16, 2023
COMMITTEE
In the event that Common Council members who are not members of this committee attend
this meeting, this meeting may also simultaneously constitute a meeting of the Common
Council or any of the following committees: Community and Economic Development,
Finance and Personnel, Judiciary and Legislation, Licenses, Public Safety and Health, Public
Works, Zoning, Neighborhoods & Development, and/or Steering and Rules. Whether a
simultaneous meeting is occurring depends on whether the presence of one or more of the
Common Council member results in a quorum of the Common Council or any of the above
committees, and, if there is a quorum of another committee, whether any agenda items listed
above involve matters within that committee’s realm of authority. In the event that a
simultaneous meeting is occurring, no action other than information gathering will be taken
at the simultaneous meeting.
Times for specific agenda items are estimations. If items cannot be heard at their specified
times, they will be heard as soon as practicable thereafter.

disabilities through sign language interpreters or auxiliary aids. For assistance contact the
