The Fayetteville City Council on June 3 voted to reconsider a prior vote on the appeal for a project at 151 Dixon and, after taking the matter back up, a motion to approve the appeal failed by a 5-3 vote.

Councilmember Moore moved to reconsider the council's previous vote on the 151 Dixon item; the motion received a second from Dr. Jones and the council passed the motion to reconsider by roll call. City attorney Kit explained that the council had several options after a successful motion to reconsider, including taking an immediate vote or tabling the matter to a future meeting to provide public notice.

Councilmembers debated process options; at the end of the procedural sequence a motion to grant the appeal was called and the roll-call vote recorded: Miss Bunch voted yes, Councilmember Turk voted no, Minister Jones voted no, Mister Stafford voted no, Doctor Jones voted yes, Miss Moore voted no, Mister Wedaker voted no, and Mister Burnham voted yes. The motion to approve the appeal therefore failed 5-3.

The council concluded the meeting after that vote. The transcript contains no additional substantive findings about the underlying development proposal; the June 3 record shows only the procedural steps: motion to reconsider, motion on the appeal, and the resulting 5-3 vote against granting the appeal.
