Accountability in Government Ordinance

At a glance

• What: O-26-40 (Bassan) repeals ROA 1994 Chapter 2, Articles 10 and 17 and creates a consolidated "Accountability in Government Ordinance" governing the AGO Committee, the Office of Internal Audit and the Office of the Inspector General. It was taken up as a floor substitute ("F/S").
• Decision (August 3, 2026): Bassan moved to substitute (9-0), moved to suspend the rules so the ordinance could be adopted the same evening it was substituted (9-0), and moved passage as substituted, which carried 9-0. All nine councilors voted for each motion.
• Related: The Accountability in Government Oversight Committee later had a vacancy filled (see Accountability in Government Oversight Committee appointment); the same meeting also passed a Whistleblower Ordinance amendment (Whistleblower Ordinance Amendment).
• Gap: The action summary records motions and votes only; the substitute text is not in the record collected here.
