CityCouncil | 2016-08-08 | 8 | Councilmember Oddie stated one thing some Councilmembers take seriously is respecting the will of the Council when the Council makes a decision, even if the Councilmember is on the losing side; if tasked with drafting the argument, he would respect the will of the Council; offered a friendly amendment to the motion; suggested Option 3, which allows some Councilmembers to sign. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft stated that she accepts the amendment. Acting Mayor Matarrese requested the Clerk to repeat the motion amendment. The City Clerk stated the motion amendment is: to authorize no more than two Councilmembers to draft an argument and have a combination of Councilmembers and other eligible voters sign. Councilmember Daysog stated that he would like it clear that two Councilmembers would author the argument and all five Councilmembers would be able to sign if they choose. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft stated said suggestion would be Option 2. Councilmember Oddie stated Option 2 is to have all Councilmembers sign the argument; suggested modifying the language in Option 3 to say that up to all Councilmembers council sign and others could sign if a Councilmember declines to sign. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft agreed. Mayor Spencer stated all Councilmembers being allowed to sign the argument is imperative. Councilmember Daysog stated the language allows doing so. On the call for the question, the motion carried by unanimous roll call vote: Councilmember Daysog: Aye; Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft: Aye; Acting Mayor Matarrese: Aye: Councilmember Oddie: Aye; Mayor Spencer: Aye. Ayes - 5. Mayor Spencer inquired about the rebuttal. Acting Mayor Matarrese inquired whether the same subcommittee would write the rebuttal, just like the UMA. The City Attorney responded in the affirmative. CITY MANAGER COMMUNICATIONS Regular Meeting Alameda City Council 8 August 8, 2016 | CityCouncil/2016-08-08.pdf |
