How it started
Mar 16, 2020 · Proposed by Councillor McGovern, Mayor Siddiqui, and Vice Mayor Mallon: a formal request from the Council to the administration. Introduced late, under Rule 36A: added after the agenda was published, so it reached the floor only on a suspension of the rules.
What happened
