VETO AND STATEMENT OF REASONS
Comes now the Mayor for the City of Jeffersonville, Mike Moore, having
reviewed Resolution No. 2013 -R -7, "A Resolution Amending Resolution No. 2000 -R -3
Regarding the Amendment of a Proposed Meeting Agenda" hereby vetoes said resolution
and in support states the following reasons:
1. Resolution No. 2000 -R -3 was adopted 13 years ago to require unanimous
consent of the Common Council to amend the meeting agenda.
2. The intent of Resolution No. 2000 -R -3 was to ensure sufficient time for
the public, the administration and council members to review agenda items prior to the
meeting.
3. Resolution No. 2013 -R -7 prevents the opportunity for the public, the
administration and council members from reviewing agenda items including proposed
resolutions and ordinances that may have a significant impact on city government and
public policy.
4. Resolution No. 2013 -R -7 further impedes any informed public debate and
dialogue on important matters before the Common Council.
5. The public, administration and council members should be given sufficient
opportunity to review agenda items prior to the meeting.
6. Resolution No. 2013 -R -7 suppresses the minority of council members
from having the opportunity to be heard on matters before the Common Council.
SO VETOED ON THIS \ day of MAY, 201 66 m.
