Committee member moves to authorize staff to negotiate amendment to design bill
Summary
A committee member moved to authorize staff to negotiate an amendment to a design bill, citing engineering studies and flood mitigation concerns; the transcript records the motion but does not record a second or the outcome.
A committee member moved to authorize staff "to negotiate amendment to the design's bill," saying the change was motivated by engineering studies and concerns about hurricane-related flooding.
The committee member said the town should take upstream actions “to mitigate all of that” and limit flood damage, describing the move as aimed at keeping the town and its residents safe. "They're way too big for me," the same committee member said earlier when reflecting on the departure of Mayor Henderson, and added, "I want my town the town I live in to be safe."
The clerk read the motion on the record but the transcript does not show a second, a roll call, or any final vote tally. The motion language recorded on the record was: "I’ll make a motion to authorize staff to negotiate amendment to the design's bill."
Because the meeting record supplied does not include a recorded vote or a stated outcome, the motion’s status is not specified in this transcript. Next procedural steps appear to be for staff to begin negotiations if the council later approves the motion formally; no timeline or budget details were provided.
The meeting also included related discussion of road maintenance and other agenda items, but no additional details tied the motion to a specific ordinance number or funding source in the provided record.
