CityCouncil | 2017-11-07 | 12 | *** (17-669) Mayor Spencer stated a motion is needed to continue the meeting past 11:00 p.m. Councilmember Matarrese moved approval. Vice Mayor Vella seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. *** Vice Mayor Vella requested a friendly amendment to the motion that the Main Street gap become a priority. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft stated all comments from Council should be incorporated into the motion. Councilmember Matarrese inquired whether the motion means the Transportation Choices Plan will not be approved as written tonight and that items will be added and that will be what Council is approving. The City Manager responded Council could make a conditional approval, staff would make redline changes and bring the matter back on the Consent Calendar. Councilmember Matarrese agreed with doing so. The City Manager stated if anything is missed by staff, Council can remove the item from the Consent Calendar. Councilmember Matarrese inquired whether anything added will return to Council with redline and will return on Consent Calendar at the next Council meeting, to which the City Manager responded the item will not return at the next Council meeting. The Base Reuse Director stated staff will incorporate the changes with a redline version and bring the item back on the Consent Calendar. Mayor Spencer requested clarification whether Council agrees to make GABA's idea of the shuttle a first priority. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft responded the motion includes Councilmember Matarrese's proposal to add the proposed shuttle into the plan for exploratory purposes; stated phrasing does not mean the shuttle will definitely be done. The City Manager stated the word exploratory means looking into funding. Mayor Spencer inquired whether Councilmember Oddie is suggesting to have AC Transit partner with GABA, which is not GABA's proposal, to which Councilmember Oddie responded the two agencies should have a discussion.
