The committee recommended a favorable report on ordinance 01026, a proposal to reduce Human Relations Commission membership so the body can reach quorum and resume its work.
A committee member said the commission has had trouble achieving quorum under its current size (15) and that recent appointments would still leave the panel short of a quorum. Reducing membership to nine would, the member said, allow the commission to function if pending appointees are sworn in. The sponsor (Alderman Ki) was not present; a committee member spoke in support of the measure and the committee moved it forward by voice vote.
The committee recommended the ordinance favorably; detailed individual vote counts were not recorded in the transcript.
