The Committee on Committees and Rules met before the City Council meeting with no public commenters and approved its September 2023 Rule 45 report. The rest of the agenda consisted of re-referrals, which the chair said would not be discussed on substance: TIF, CPS intergovernmental and financial assistance ordinances went to Finance; SSA budgets, SSA appointments and a Class 6(b) incentive went to Economic, Capital and Technology Development; an airport concourse license to Aviation; a budget amendment to Budget; an environmental remediation item to Environmental Protection; advisory council appointments to Health and Human Relations; property and land acquisition items to Housing and Real Estate; a resolution on police technology hearings to Public Safety; and the LeClaire Courts infrastructure agreement to Transportation. All referral recommendations were approved. At the end, a member asked the chair when referendum ordinances, including one on sanctuary city status, and a legislative counsel ordinance would be heard, and the chair said to send her a note.
