Whenever a question, resolution, or ordinance is referred to a committee, the question shall not be in order unless the committee referred to has had 30 days to make its report; except, that in matters concerning special appropriations, reports shall be due in 14 days. Whenever a committee fails to make a report within the required time on any question committed, any five members of the Common Council may demand action on the question, resolution, or ordinance.
