Introduced ordinances are referred to the appropriate committee (even if the committee sponsored the ordinance) for discussion and consideration at the discretion of the committee chair.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (West Allis NOW section) is the official newspaper for the City of West Allis through May 31, 2013. Otherwise, the ordinance itself may specify when it becomes effective. In this case, the effective date could be immediate (assuming Mayor does not veto) or set for a date in the future.

Resolutions are sponsored by committees related to the topic in the resolution or can be sponsored by any individual alderperson or by a City board or commission. Introduced resolutions are referred to the appropriate committee (even if the committee sponsored the resolution) for discussion and consideration at the discretion of the committee chair. Adopted resolutions (assuming Mayor does not veto) are effective immediately.
