A measure that would give members of the City Council access to real-time advice and information about council rules and procedure from Legislative Reference Bureau (LRB) staffers was rejected by nearly half the council at Monday’s rules committee meeting.

The measure will remain in the committee, and the negative vote signaled peril for a companion ordinance in the council’s budget committee.
