Interested in rewriting, changing, adding, or removing laws? Then look no further than City Council! Business Elect & Citizen Elect are the representatives that Citizens seek out to sponsor their ideas for new laws. Once a City Council member represents a Citizen, that Citizen can attend a Council meeting and pitch their idea for a change in law!
Once this is done, the Mayor will submit a #Lore Inquiries Ticket in the discord. to see if the law is possible through roleplay. Once Staff give the greenlight, they'll host a vote among City Council to pass the changes! Once the YAY or NAY is decided on, the Mayor will let staff know so the website can be updated! We will be sure to document changes by date and mayoral reign. Crossing out old laws so everything stays documented historically! These updates will go out during the Sunday Update Releases.
How Does a Mayor do the Voting?
A meeting is hosted after Staff approval in the Ticket and the topic is brought up. City Council will vote in a poll in the City Council chat that's set to 3 days. This gives every member a chance to vote on the topic whether they attended the event or voted digitally. Once the three days pass, the result will be the decision if its Yay or Nay! If you need help as the Mayor doing a poll, contact the Event Admin for Assistance! Special note, the RDA Representatives on Council only get 2 votes, same as the Hospital and Fire Dept. Even though they have 3 ranks.
