This proposed Ordinance is one of the few items remaining from the Sunset Review process. In connection with that process, Intergovernmental Affairs/Boards Section ("IABS") recommended to the Board that amendments be made to Section 1-233 of the Code relating to the general administration of boards, authorities, and agencies. This agenda item contains those amendments, thereby addressing IABS's recommendations that were previously approved by the Board.
