Overrule mayor's decision to send 2 items to Human Rights Commission
In Plain English
The mayor referred 2 agenda items to the Human Rights Commission instead of having the council vote on them directly. Councilmember Boozé wants to reverse this decision and bring those items back for an immediate council vote. If approved, the council will discuss and vote on both items today rather than waiting for commission review.

Why This Vote Matters
The council voted to keep two agenda items with the Human Rights Commission for review rather than bringing them back for an immediate vote. Councilmember Boozé had moved to overrule the mayor's decision to refer these items to the commission, which would have allowed the council to discuss and vote on them during the same meeting. In a divided 4-3 vote, the motion failed, with Beckles, Ritterman, Rogers, and McLaughlin voting to maintain the commission referral process. This means residents will need to wait for the Human Rights Commission's review before the council takes action on these items.
