WHEREAS, Metro Council hereby amends its Policies and Procedures to prevent an outgoing Metro Council Member from depleting the District’s Neighborhood Development Funds and office cost center funds.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL OF THE LOUISVILLE/JEFFERSON COUNTY METRO GOVERNMENT (“METRO COUNCIL”) AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION I: Metro Council hereby amends its Policies and Procedures, Section 3.1.A. Guidelines to Expend Funds from NDF, to add the following paragraph:
If a Council member’s term ends before the completion of the fiscal year, the Council member must leave at least half of the year’s appropriation (i.e. $37,500 in FY 2019) in the Council District’s NDF account.
SECTION II: Metro Council hereby amends its Policies and Procedures, Section 6 Council Cost Centers, to add the following paragraph:
If a Council member’s term ends before the completion of the fiscal year, the Council member must leave at least half of the year’s appropriation (i.e. $15,000 in FY 2019) in the Council District’s cost center funds account. If cost center funds have been depleted beyond the aforementioned amount due to exceptional and/or unforeseen circumstances involving a staff person, such as a prolonged leave of absence due to medical leave, military duty, or prolonged jury duty, the Council member impacted by such circumstances may appear before the Government Oversight, Audit and Ethics Committee to request approval for an exception to this policy.
SECTION III: A Council member who does not have opposition in his or her election is exempt from this policy. If a Council member wins re-election, he or she may appropriate funds immediately upon certification of the election results.
SECTION IIIIV: This Resolution shall take effect upon its passage and approval.
