Bacolod Vice Mayor El Cid Familiaran met with the new set of Sangguniang Panlungsod members Monday to discuss several matters.
Familiaran said he was informed during their caucus that Mayor Albee Benitez will be attending their inaugural session today.
The SP members have not yet finalized the committee chairmanship but may be able to finish their assignments before the session today. It will depend on the majority whether or not they will create more SP committees or reduce them, he said.
The SP will also have to approve the current internal rules, subject to amendment within 90 days. They will also decide whether to hold sessions every Wednesday or move it to another day, Familiaran said.
They also discussed other matters during the caucus like who will be the SP secretary, property custodian, and key personnel who will prepare the payroll, among others, he added.*
