Amending Council Rule 21 of the Rules and
Organization of the City Council of the
City of Evanston
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
EVANSTON, COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS:
SECTION 1: That Rule 21 of the Rules and
Organization of the City Council of the
City of Evanston is hereby amended to read as follows:
21. RECONSIDERATION
21.1 The vote taken on any motion, resolution or
ordinance to approve purchases, contracts, bond
sales, zoning variations or special uses which
have been introduced to the City Council in the
same form at a previous meeting, or to confirm
an appointment by the Mayor to a commission,
board or advisory body may be reconsidered but
only at the same meeting at which said vote was
taken, upon an affirmative vote of 2/3 of the
aldermen present. The vote taken on any other
motion, resolution or ordinance may be
reconsidered but only at the next regular
meeting held after the meeting at which said
vote was taken, upon the vote of the majority of
the aldermen present. A motion for
reconsideration may be made as set forth herein
only once. A motion to reconsider must be made
by an alderman who voted on the prevailing side;
however, when a motion, resolution, or ordinance
fails to pass by reason of not having received a
required extraordinary vote, a motion to
reconsider may be made by any alderman who was
present and voted in the previous consideration.
Any motion to reconsider, properly made, may be
seconded by any other alderman.
21.2 No vote of the Council shall be reconsidered or
rescinded at a special meeting.
21.3 Every resolution, motion, and ordinance which is
returned to the Council by the Mayor after veto
may be reconsidered by the Council by a motion
to override the veto at the same meeting of such
return. If two-thirds of all Aldermen elected
to the City Council vote to pass the ordinance,
resolution or motion, notwithstanding the
Mayor's refusal to approve it, then it shall be
effective. The vote on the question of passage
over the Mayor's veto shall be by roll call.
SECTION 3: This resolution shall be in
19-R-84
full force and effect from and after its passage and approval in
i the manner provided by law.
