Official:Providing for the submission to the qualified electors of the City of Philadelphia of the proposal set forth in a Resolution approved by Council proposing an amendment to The Philadelphia Home Rule Charter to create the position of Chief Information Officer, a member of the Mayor's Cabinet who shall direct an office to be known as the Division of Technology, and authorizing the appropriate officers to publish notice and to make arrangements for the special election.
Sponsor: Councilmember Green
Introduced: February 4, 2010
: Committee on Law and Government
Status: Lapsed
This bill was introduced in the 2008–2011 Council term and when that term ran out. The public record shows no committee vote and no floor vote at any stage, so no member of Council ever went on record for or against it.
That is not unusual here. Of the 8,465 bills introduced between 2000 and 2025, 1,624 lapsed without a single recorded vote. Ninety percent of bills that became law carry a roll call. Three percent of lapsed bills do. How this works.
This bill proposes a city-wide vote to create the position of Chief Information Officer and direct an office known as the Division of Technology.
