Ad Hoc Committee on Administrative Affairs Tuesday, May 5, 2026 · 3:00 PM · Council Chambers, City Hall

MediumMedium significance — notable action worth trackingTwo threads on this agenda warrant follow-up: the city is simultaneously running searches for its city attorney and Inspector General, and it scheduled a discussion of campaign contribution amounts for city elections alongside two changes to how Council agenda items are deferred and pulled. Key questions to pursue include which search firms were under discussion for the city attorney role, what timeline Strategic Government Resources presented for the Inspector General search, and what specific timeline change HB 1522 requires for agenda deferrals.

MediumMedium significance — notable action worth trackingThis committee stage is the access point for two items that shape how outside interests engage City Hall: the campaign contribution amounts discussion and the changes to how Council agenda items are deferred and pulled. Because the Committee may vote to send recommendations to City Council under item S1, the window to shape language is at the committee level rather than after a recommendation reaches Council. If the Section 7.11 deferral amendment moves forward, the timeline for requesting that an item be deferred or deleted would change, directly affecting scheduling strategy for client matters.
