Ratification by Council Clause Samples
The 'Ratification by Council' clause establishes that a proposed agreement or decision must be formally approved by a governing council before it becomes effective. In practice, this means that even if parties have negotiated and agreed upon terms, those terms are not binding until the council reviews and officially endorses the agreement, often through a vote or resolution. This clause ensures that significant decisions receive oversight and collective consent, thereby providing an additional layer of accountability and preventing unauthorized commitments.
Ratification by Council. The City shall submit to the City Council for approval the tentative agreement reached by the Negotiations Committees within fourteen (14) days after the Lodge membership in either or both units ratify the tentative agreement. The City Council must approve or reject the submission as a whole, and the submission shall be deemed approved if the Council fails to act within thirty (30) days after the City submits the tentative agreement to City Council. The tentative Agreement thereupon becomes binding upon the City, City Council, the Lodge and the members.
