OAG 78-826 is cited to show precedent where the mayor was allowed to break a tie vote in a city council under similar statutory provisions. The decision discusses how the previous opinion concluded that the mayor could break a tie vote under KRS 86.070, which has since been replaced by KRS 83A.130. The decision uses this past opinion to support the conclusion that the mayor retains the right to break a tie vote under the new statute, despite the different context of the vote (overriding versus affirming a commission's recommendation).
OAG 78-826 was Followed by OAG 81-317
