Milwaukee Common Council, mayor at odds over Attorney s Office rule
The Milwaukee Common Council removed a requirement that the city attorney s office approve agreements and contracts of more than $25,000.
MILWAUKEE - The Milwaukee Common Council on Wednesday, July 7 unanimously voted to overrule a veto from Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, removing a requirement that the city attorney s office approve agreements and contracts of more than $25,000.
Instead, the city s attorney s office has to review agreements or contracts only when requested by a Common Council member or the mayor. Approval is not required from the city attorney; he is a lawyer, not a legislator, said Alderman Robert Bauman.

“We agreed this past spring that we should be held accountable, like our city worker colleagues, to the city’s harassment policy,” said Alderwoman
JoCasta Zamarripa at a Monday afternoon meeting of the Common Council’s Judiciary & Legislation Committee.
Turns out that’s simple in theory, complicated in reality.
A proposal, sponsored by Zamarripa and Alderman
Michael Murphy, would allow elected and appointed officials to be removed from office by a simple majority vote of council members for “inefficiency, neglect of duty, official misconduct or malfeasance.” Officials currently can only be removed for malfeasance.
