What this means

The committee discussed changes to Aurora’s rules on economic-interest disclosures, campaign-related employment and volunteer work, and campaign contributions and fundraising. Members accepted some draft edits by consensus and said more changes may still be added before the items move forward. A separate proposal about the Mayor’s outside employment was briefly discussed and referred to the Rules, Administration and Procedures Committee. The meeting also moved a number of other items to the consent agenda, which means they were treated as routine approvals rather than debated individually.
