Also highly unusual but not mentioned here: This full council meeting was held at 7:30 in the morning on a Monday, and was given 3 days notice. And this is the meeting where the budget would be voted on.
What an unusual time for a council meeting, or any public body, to hold its meeting. When a good number of people aren’t even awake and those that are are commuting to jobs, school, and so on.
The council meets every month at 7:30 AM on a Monday. They also meet once a month at 7 PM. Nothing unusual about the meeting time. This veto item was carried over from the last meeting that was held in the evening. Not sure why the budget was approved at this meeting although I do know they were under a time crunch to get it approved before the deadline.
I am confused, which is not hard, but when you vote to uphold a veto, are you agreeing with it or disagreeing with it?
Usually a group votes to “override” a veto, therefor going against the mayor. Did they vote in agreement to the mayor’s veto?
I believe it means there were not enough votes to override the veto. Reading the Council members’ comments, it appears some did not agree with the veto, but did not think that the risk and cost of litigation was worth a vote to override the veto.
It’s kinda like a verdict of “not guilty” does not mean the defendent was found innocent, but only that the charge had not been proven.
Its really hard to tell why this story even newsworthy. If by State Law, Mayors are given the authority to unilaterally hire and fire the police and fire cheifs then it sounds like the motion to transfer that power to the board was inherently flawed. Maybe I am missing something. By the way, the last line of the story is either a typo or really new news. Unless I missed a memo, many towns in Indiana have mayors….just asked Pete Buttigieg.
Mark, it was news because if the council had overturned the vetoes, which was very possible, the town would have been in for a legal fight. The last sentence is correct. Towns usually do not have mayors; cities have mayors. Zionsville is a town.
South Bend refers to itself several times as a “city” on its website (https://www.southbendin.gov/).
South Bend has been a city since 1865.
