There are several types of actions considered by City Council during regular meetings.

Ordinances
“Ordinances” are formal enactments of laws, and include subjects such as purchases of items greater than $25,000, real estate related transactions, contract authorizations, bid awards, changes to the City’s Code, and other formal action.

Resolutions
“Resolutions” are generally non-regulatory actions by Council, and could include subjects such as recognition of events, accomplishments, or individuals;  and other Council action as deemed appropriate in resolution format.

Appointments
Appointments to the City’s citizen-based boards and commissions are made by the Mayor and Council.

Proclamations
Mayoral “Proclamations” are ceremonial acts that sometimes appear on a Council Agenda (but not all proclamations appear on an agenda). Proclamations usually recognize a special event or individual in Wilmington for their special significance or accomplishments.
