(1) Proposed motions may be presented for council consideration by filing the proposed motion with the clerk of the council with an ECAF signed by a county officer, provided that any motion not proposed by a council member must be routed through the county executive’s office pursuant to SCC 2.48.118. Proposed motions shall be presented in their entirety in writing.

(2) Upon the filing of a proposed motion and ECAF, the clerk shall assign the motion a number and place it on the agenda of the next Tuesday administrative session for referral to a council committee, provided that the chairperson or a majority of the council may direct that it be placed on the agenda of an earlier council meeting. The agenda shall identify the proposed motion by number and title and name the committee or committees to which it will be referred. If a council member objects to a committee referral, the referral shall be made by a majority of the council.

(3) If at a regular council meeting a council member wishes to obtain committee referral of a proposed motion that has not been placed on the agenda, the council member shall file the proposed motion with the clerk along with a signed ECAF. The clerk shall read the title and assign a number to the proposed motion, and the chairperson or council shall refer the motion to one or more council committees.

(4) A proposed motion referred to more than one committee shall be considered by the committees in the order specified in the referral. (Added by Ord. 11-017, May 11, 2011, Eff date May 27, 2011; Amended by Amended Ord. 22-022, June 15, 2022, Eff date July 3, 2022).
