Motion of the Council of Allegheny County pulling Bill No. 13382-25, An Ordinance of the County of Allegheny, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, authorizing the acceptance of the donation of two horses for adoption by the County for use in the Allegheny County Police’s Mounted Unit, from committee for an immediate and final vote.
body
WHEREAS, Bill No. 13382-25 (attached to this Motion) was introduced and referred to the Committee on Public Safety at Council’s January 28, 2025 Regular Meeting; and
WHEREAS, as of the date of introduction of this Motion, Bill No. 13382-25 has not yet been recommended to full Council for a final vote 312 days after its introduction; and
WHEREAS, the Rules of Allegheny County Council, Article IV, Section B, allow for bills to be pulled from committee by the vote of a simple majority (8) of the seated Members of Council if such motion is made more than sixty (60) days from the date of the first reading of the bill; and
WHEREAS, all bills remaining in committee at the conclusion of 2025 will expire; and
WHEREAS, because the ordinance in question involves a benefit to public safety at negligible cost to the County, it is the judgment of Council that pulling the bill from committee for a final vote before it expires is preferable to re-introduction of the bill and re-initiation of the committee process in January of 2026.
NOW THEREFORE, IT IS MOVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF ALLEGHENY COUNTY,
That this Council hereby pulls Bill No. 13382-25 from the Committee on Public Safety, and authorizes an immediate final vote on the bill.
