Commission continues multiple agenda items after staff says projects not ready

At a public commission meeting, commissioners voted to continue a package of agenda items after staff said the projects were not ready for final action.

The motion to continue items 1, 2a, 2b, 3a, 3b, 4, 5, 6a, 6b and 7 was proposed by Commissioner Anthony. He said, “In that case, I would like to propose that we continue items 1, 2 a and 2 b, 3 a, 3 b, 4, 5, 6 a and b, 7,” and called the question to prompt a roll-call vote.

The continuance followed a staff explanation that project teams were still working on the proposals and the items were not ready to be brought forward. The clerk had earlier announced that a separate set of regular-calendar items (13a–d) had a sponsor request to continue to May 24, 2007; public comment on the continuance motions was solicited and none was offered.

The roll-call on the motion to continue recorded commissioners voting 'Aye' and the chair announced the motion carried. Commissioners recorded on the roll-call as voting in favor included Commissioner Antonini, Commissioner Souley, Commissioner Building, Commissioner Moore, Commissioner Sugaya, Commissioner Olague and Commission President Alexander.

With the vote, the listed items were removed from the current agenda for further staff work. No additional details on new hearing dates for that group of items were stated during the discussion.
