Introductions: Legislation pending in the Council is called an Introduction , often abbreviated to "Intro" or "Int ", and is assigned a number.

Local Laws: When an Introduction is signed by the Mayor it becomes a Local Law and is assigned a new number. Local Laws may also be enacted over the objection of the Mayor through the veto override process. Once enacted, Local Laws are incorporated into the City's Charter and Administrative Code.

Resolutions: Resolutions are used by the Council as a vehicle for legislative action and to express the sentiment of the body on important public policy issues. These issues may or may not fall under City jurisdiction. Resolutions may also be used to adopt land use decisions such as downzoning, and to adopt the annual City budget for both expense spending and capital spending.
