The council members signed a memo calling for a vote to amend the city's key policymaking ordinance to protect it from efforts Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones has made to change the policymaking process.

Three council members are calling to put a proposed animal abandonment ordinance back on next week's agenda after Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones removed it this week.

A majority of Gina Ortiz Jones’ colleagues appeared ready to vote down her proposed changes in a future council session before her reversal.

Three city council members have said her proposed changes would give too much power to unelected officials and that they violate an ordinance.
