Subject: reconsideration of PO 21

I told Councillor Carlone after last night's meeting that I intend to file for reconsideration of our order #21 because it refers the proposed municipal code amendment to the Govt Ops Committee rather than to Ordinance. The order also repeated the ORDERED twice (a mistake). Dennis agreed that it would be more expedient to refer a relatively straightforward change directly to the Ordinance Comm. Do I need to come to your office to file or can it be done through an email? Jan
