Mayor Spencer inquired whether four votes are required to approve the lease, to which the City Attorney responded in the affirmative. In response to Mayor Spencer's inquiry, the City Attorney stated two separate actions items are being voted on tonight; the first is to consider approval of the MOU related to the haul out which requires three votes; the second item to finally pass the ordinance approving the lease which requires four votes. Mayor Spencer inquired whether the location of the haul out requires three or four votes. The City Attorney responded the location does not have to come back to the Council, it is included in the MOU; WETA is working on the location. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft inquired whether consultants would be included in the process regarding the haul out. The Economic Development Division Manager responded in the affirmative; stated staff wants to do the process right.
