Benton County Commission tables debate on returning to 18-member legislative body
Summary
After debate and failed amendments, the commission voted to table Resolution 1015-06 — which would rescind the 2016 reduction of the legislative body — until the November 2018 meeting; final tabling vote was 15 Ayes, 2 Nays.
The Benton County Commission debated Resolution 1015-06 on Oct. 15, 2018, a proposal to rescind Resolution 0716-04, which reduced the legislative body from 18 members to 12.
An amendment to Resolution 1015-06 was offered and failed on a roll-call vote (10 Ayes, 7 Nays). A later motion to table the resolution until the November meeting passed on a roll-call vote, 15 Ayes and 2 Nays, so the commission did not take final action to rescind the 2016 change and instead deferred further consideration to its November meeting.
The meeting minutes record multiple roll-call ballots, motions to amend and to table, and several commissioners changing recorded votes during the sequence of votes. The item remains scheduled for further consideration in November.
