Erie County Legislature unanimously approves routine resolutions, moves Local Law 7-1 to committee

The Erie County Legislature opened its Sept. 10 meeting with a roll call and promptly considered a package of miscellaneous resolutions and several individual legislator resolutions. The majority leader made motions for consideration or immediate consideration and the clerk repeatedly recorded unanimous tallies; the chair declared repeated motions carried with the vote announced as 11 to 0 for each item.

The chair also said Local Law Intro 7-1 will be sent to the Economic Development Committee under the chair’s authority. Multiple items were recorded as communications from elected officials (communications 16 E-1 through 16 E-36) and were likewise moved for immediate consideration and approved by voice votes announced in the meeting as 11 to 0. The session’s proceedings on these items were procedural approvals; the transcript does not record extended debate or substantive amendments beyond an amendment to include “at all sponsorship” that also carried unanimously.
