City Council discussed a variety of topics ranging from mayoral veto powers to a raise for City Administrator Emily Evans. The day-long meeting also touched on a pending measure to prevent city employees from keeping their jobs if they run for elective office.
Regarding veto powers, Councilor Don Knight notes the city s code and charter aren t aligned in defining the mayor s veto powers. On one hand, he s allowed to veto any measure referred to voters, including a citizen-initiated measure that requires the circulation of petitions. On the other, he is not allowed to veto such measures.
