Council suspends rules and adds emergency ordinance C36680 to tonight’s agenda; draft agenda approved
Summary
The council voted to suspend the rules and add emergency ordinance C36680 to the evening agenda, and then approved next week’s final agenda at the agenda-setting meeting; both actions passed by unanimous voice votes from the members present.
City legal staff presented a procedural motion at the agenda-setting meeting to suspend the rules and add emergency ordinance C36680 to the council’s evening agenda. The council voted by voice to suspend the rules and then voted to add the ordinance; the chair recorded the results as all present indicating "aye." Council staff then asked for, and received, a motion to approve the updated draft agenda as next week’s final agenda; that motion likewise passed by voice vote.
Mr. Wright (counsel) told the council there was one potential motion: a motion to suspend the rules to add ordinance C36680. After council members indicated their support, Ms. Sakslitzky (council clerk) confirmed the rules had been suspended. A subsequent motion to add emergency ordinance C36680 was made and seconded and again passed by voice vote.
No roll-call names were read for the votes in the transcript; the meeting record at roll call earlier noted that all council members were present. The agenda-setting meeting concluded with the council approving the draft update as next week’s final agenda and adjourning until the evening session.
These are procedural additions and do not describe the substance of ordinance C36680; the ordinance text was circulated, according to staff, but its content was not discussed in detail during the agenda-setting portion recorded in the transcript.
