  • Rules of Greenville County Council As of January 22, 2008 1

    Jan 22, 2008

    ·Greenville, SC
    Other

    This document establishes the Rules of Greenville County Council effective January 22, 2008, governing the structure and operations of the council's leadership and staff. The Chairman, elected by Council members at the initial January meeting following each general election for a two-year term, presides over all meetings and executes ordinances, resolutions, contracts, and official documents on behalf of the Council and County Administrator. A Vice-Chairman, also selected for a two-year term at the initial January meeting, presides when the Chairman is absent; if both offices are vacant, the Council member with the most uninterrupted service acts as Chairman Pro Tempore. The Council employs three key staff positions—a County Administrator (the administrative head of County government), a Clerk (who records and maintains journals of all Council proceedings), and a County Attorney (licensed to practice law in South Carolina)—all of whom serve at the pleasure of the Council and cannot be members of Council.

Legislative process | City of Lexington, Kentucky

Lexington, KY
Other

The Lexington-Fayette Urban County Council, composed of a vice mayor, two at-large members, and 12 district representatives, follows a five-step legislative process to write, revise, and adopt resolutions and ordinances for Fayette County. Resolutions are temporary or diplomatic in character, while ordinances establish permanent rules and are codified in the Code of Ordinances, appropriate funds, or are required by law. Items originate in one of four committees (Budget, Finance and Economic Development; Environmental Quality and Public Works; General Government and Planning; Social Services and Public Safety), where they are researched and discussed by committee members who vote to pass or fail them. Passed items are reported out to the full council at a work session, typically about one month later, where all councilmembers discuss and vote on them. If an item passes work session, it advances to first reading at the next scheduled Thursday council meeting, followed by a second reading at a subsequent meeting; the council may vote to suspend rules and combine both readings immediately.
