Council agrees to reconsider placement of item on county recovered funds; sends matter to Aug. 12 agenda
Summary
Council voted to reconsider the earlier placement of an agenda item seeking assistance from County recovered funds so a councilmember who had not voted can register a position; council directed staff to return the item for discussion at the Aug. 12 regular meeting and to update the minutes.
The council voted to reconsider a prior action that placed an item on a future agenda seeking financial assistance from County of Orange recovered funds. Staff explained the item was noticed after the June 24 meeting but a councilmember who wished to vote had not had the opportunity; reconsideration would allow the councilmember to participate in placement decisions.
Councilmembers debated whether to rehear the matter immediately or defer to the regular August 12 meeting so the full council can participate. After discussion, the council voted to reconsider and directed staff to return the matter to the Aug. 12 meeting for discussion; staff also indicated the minutes will be revised to record the prior member's vote on the original item.
No instruction was given tonight to send a letter or to expend funds; the action was procedural and intended to ensure all councilmembers have an opportunity to participate in agenda‑placement decisions.
