government; and (2) The mayor, in consultation with the legislative council, shall, when authorized by statute, determine which agencies, boards, and commissions created by statute shall

setting out the role of the legislative council, if any, in the appointment process for
each individual agency, board, and commission created by statute. Only one (1)
agency, board, or commission shall be addressed per ordinance. Such ordinance
shall require a vote of the majority of the entire membership of the legislative
council for approval and shall be subject to mayoral veto and legislative override
pursuant to KRS 67C.103(13)(a) and 67C.105(5)(i); and (3) The appointment of members to all agencies, boards, and commissions created by ordinance shall be determined by the ordinance creating the agency, board, or
