CityCouncil | 2018-07-10 | 35 | Council. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft stated signatures must be gathered by 6:00 p.m. tomorrow; inquired whether the subcommittee thought of any community signers or assumed it would be the Councilmembers. Councilmember Matarrese responded since the issue is about good government, he was hoping to have the entire Council sign the argument; stated it does not matter which side of the question you are on; Ordinance 3148 has things that are impossibly wrong to put in the Charter and require an election to fix; as State law changes, the City has to adapt. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft suggested Laura Thomas be the fifth signer. Councilmember Matarrese suggested the argument be left in the Clerk's office for anyone to sign. The Clerk stated there is a limit of five signers. *** Mayor Spencer called a recess at 9:11 p.m. and reconvened the meeting at 9:22 p.m. The City Clerk outlined the options to determine who will sign: defer the decision to the subcommittee; have only four Councilmembers sign; have four Councilmembers sign and one other person sign, which would require Council to decide how to select the other person. Councilmember Oddie stated that he is happy to let the subcommittee decide who they want as the fifth person or if they even want a fifth person. Councilmember Matarrese stated said suggestion is fine with him. Vice Mayor Vella stated the subcommittee's preference was to have the Council sign; she is open to hearing other Councilmember's preferences. Mayor Spencer stated Councilmember Oddie suggested having the subcommittee discuss whether or not to have a fifth person sign. Councilmember Oddie stated four Councilmembers will sign and the subcommittee can decide whether or not a fifth person would sign and who that would be. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft, Matarrese and Vella expressed support. Councilmember Oddie moved approval [of having the four Councilmembers sign and the subcommittee decide about a fifth signature].
