Summary
Silvis aldermen voted 6-2 to reconsider the mayor's veto on a Phipps Park matter but rejected a motion to move forward with demolition of the Phipps Park house, with the demolition motion failing 3-5.
Silvis aldermen voted 6-2 on Jan. 7 to reconsider Mayor Matt Carter's veto related to Phipps Park but then rejected a motion to continue the demolition process for the Phipps Park house at the start of the next fiscal year.
Alderman Tony Trulson moved to reconsider the mayor's veto; the motion, seconded by Alderman Joshua Dyer, passed with six affirmative votes and two opposing votes. The roll-call showed Alderman Tony Trulson, Alderman Doug Greer, Alderman Rick Lohse, Alderman David Rice, Alderman Joshua Dyer and Alderwoman Chrissy Winters voting yes; Alderman Bob Cervantes and Alderman Craig Pirmann voted no.
