Resolution to alter seating on council dais for staff

Post by Don Zimmerman »

Whereas, the Austin City Council members are directly elected by Austin voters, and are term limited; and

Whereas, the Austin City Manager and City Attorney are not elected, are not directly accountable to voters, and are not term limited; and

Whereas, the new 10-1 Austin City Council is restructuring for a more transparent and accountable way of conducting council business; and

Whereas, the Travis County Commissioners Court seats only elected members at its dais, while the appointed attorney and other staff is seated off the dais; now, therefore,

BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Austin: that the Austin City Manager and City Attorney be seated off the dais in the front row before council.
