DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN: City Council DATE SUBMITTED: 06-06-2013
PREPARED BY: Traci A. McDowell, City Clerk on Behalf of Councilman Lynn
SUBJECT: Review of Ordinance Sponsorship
EXHIBITS: History of Ordinance Sponsorship
TIMETABLE: Recommendation to City Council on 06-24-2013
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Discussion of Sponsorship Requirements with Possible Amendment to
Remove Requirement of Three (3) Sponsors for Council Members or to Impose Same Requirement for

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
At the request of Councilman Lynn, a history of the requirement for three (3) sponsors to propose amendments
to the Dover Code was compiled. Currently, all ordinances or proposed Charter changes must have three (3)
sponsors (three (3) members of Council) before they are presented to the appropriate committee for
consideration and subsequent recommendation to the Council. The only exceptions are emergency ordinances,
zoning ordinances or map amendments, ordinance amendments submitted by Council-appointed staff or a
committee, and ordinances passed in consideration of a comprehensive review of the Code.
Councilman Lynn would like to discuss these requirements to either remove the sponsorship requirement for
Council members or impose the same requirements for Council-appointed staff. A history of the sponsorship
requirement is provided.
