Summary

Council members moved and the committee approved one-meeting deferrals for a sandwich-board sign ordinance and an ordinance amending community meeting requirements to allow more time for amendments to be absorbed and for further conversations.

On second reading, the committee deferred bill 20 26 12 55, which would amend municipal code provisions on sandwich-board signs in the public right of way. Council Member Huffman said he would "ask for a 1 meeting deferral" to finish outstanding conversations; the committee approved the deferral by voice vote.

The committee also deferred bill 20 26 12 95, an ordinance amending community meeting requirements for leases of certain Metropolitan properties. Councilwoman Allen said she wanted time to review several amendments and moved for a one-meeting deferral; the motion passed by voice vote.

Both items were deferred to give members more time for negotiation and amendment; the transcript records the motions, seconds and voice votes but does not include new language for either ordinance or a new hearing date.
