On Thursday it was a surprise, but by Tuesday it wasn’t.Supporters of a proposed ethics ordinance were surprised to find out Thursday that members of the City Council were poised to request the ordinance be re-referred to the council’s Rules Committee, and also be sent to the Finance Committee for the first time. The Rules Committee unanimously approved the ordinance at its Oct. 4 meeting after the council’s Special Committee to Review the Charter Revision Commission Recommendations recommended approval of the ordinance at its Sept. 20 meeting.
