The Council’s Rules Committee meets this morning in the Council Chambers to consider an appointment to the Board of Ethics and two potential ballot referenda for Chicago voters this November, although one of those ballot questions had yet to be drafted as of yesterday afternoon.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel has appointed Nancy Andrade, legal counsel for the Commission on Hispanic Legal Rights and Responsibilities, to finish out the unexpired term of Judge Julia M. Nowicki to the Board of Ethics. First appointed in 2012 by Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Cook County Circuit Court Judge Nowicki has since resigned. Her term, which Andrade will complete, is set to expire on July 31, 2017.
