No member of Council after being elected to a committee chair may be nominated for any other chairmanship"; new language to follow that section will be: "Each committee shall also have aVice-Chairperson who shall be the most senior Council Member on the committee who is not serving as the Vice- Chairperson of another committee. The Vice-Chairperson shall have such powers and duties as the Chairperson shall have, only in the Chairperson's absence." The motion was seconded by Councilman Ryan and passed unanimously. Council Rule 13A amended. 2) The committee discussed the possibility of applying the Rules of Council to committee meetings to help provide structure to the meetings.
