Summary/Abstract: The opinion states that the council (sejmik) should “adopt a position” regarding comments and motions of a Deputy. However, motions submitted by the Deputy do not initiate - contrary Deputies’ interventions - any separate, formalized procedure for their consideration by councillors. If the Deputy put forwarda motion regarding matters which, according to provisions of statutes or articles of organisation of a municipality (district, voivodship), fall within exclusive rights of councilors (e.g. a legislative initiative) or bodies of a given local government unit or other entities,the council (sejmik) cannot - as unacceptable – consider them. If they meet formal requirements and the way they are formulated enables putting them to a vote, the decision should be made in this form.
