CityCouncil | 2018-09-04 | 18 | Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft inquired whether there could be a break, to which Mayor Spencer responded it would not be appropriate. Vice Mayor Vella stated that she does not want to delay for the sake of delaying, possibly creating a liability for the City; however, there has been a lot of discussion related to the item's priorities. Mayor Spencer stated by sending the item back to Planning Board, the Council would have time to do it right. Councilmember Matarrese requested the City Clerk to read the motion again. The City Clerk read the motion. On the call for the question, the motion failed by the following voice vote: Ayes: Mayor Spencer - 1. Noes: Councilmembers: Ezzy Ashcraft and Matarrese - 2. Abstentions: Councilmembers Oddie and Vella - 2. Vice Mayor Vella suggested Councilmember Matarrese create the motion. Councilmember Matarrese moved approval of directing staff to incorporate the amendments, with the comments from the Council in mind, to bring back at the next Council meeting on the Consent Calendar. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft requested clarification of the motion. Councilmember Matarrese responded the motion is to have the amendment edited and brought back to Council at the next meeting on the Consent Calendar for the amendment to be read and approved. The Assistant City Manager stated it would be difficult to get the item on the next Council agenda because it will be posted on Thursday. Councilmember Matarrese stated Council could sit at the dais to write new, proposed language; the language can be prepared tomorrow to make the deadline. Mayor Spencer stated staff needs more time to research the issue. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft inquired if the language can be written now. The City Attorney suggested the matter be continued to the next meeting. The City Clerk stated if the item is continued, staff could upload the new language.
