CityCouncil | 2019-02-19 | 14 | Vice Mayor Knox White stated a decision must be made to move the item forward; inquired whether staff has enough direction to come back with a repeal and replace option. The Interim City Attorney responded that staff will bring back Ordinances 3227 and 3228 as well as incorporate any amendments made since that time, as part of what Council will review to decide what to do with the ordinances in question. Vice Mayor Knox White stated that he agrees with Councilmember Vella, but does not want to give direction on the RFP process. Vice Mayor Knox White moved approval of Option 3, to agendize as quick as possible, repeal and replace to move the item forward and have it on the agenda, and to get to a final copy that everyone agrees has been passed. Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft stated that she would like to see staff look at a bifurcated definition of youth centers, depending on whether it is denoted by activity, and run by the City or a private entity. The Interim City Attorney stated said issue may be added as a topic in the agenda title as well as in the agenda materials if Council so directs. Councilmembers Oddie and Vella stated that is not Council direction. Vice Mayor Knox White repeated his motion: to direct staff to notice a public hearing at the next possible meeting concerning the repeal and replacement of Ordinance Nos. 3227 and 3228 with the same or similar provisions, noticed in such a way that Council may have a discussion. Councilmember Vella seconded the motion. Under discussion, Councilmember Vella stated that she does not want to undo the item; she would like a clean process, and to re-agendize for first hearing in accordance with transparency that the Sunshine Ordinance requires; she would like to move forward with a second reading at some point. Councilmember Oddie expressed support for the motion; stated if Council moves forward with a first and second reading, the spirit of the Sunshine Ordinance is recognized without agreeing with the remedy; steps should be taken to re-notice the item in a way critical to the motion. On the call for the question the motion passed by the unanimous voice vote: 4 [Absent - Councilmember Daysog - 1.] Councilmember Vella stated having the issue agendized at the priority setting meeting, not to give direction, but to weigh in on what points or portions of the Sunshine Regular Meeting Alameda City Council 11 February 19, 2019 | CityCouncil/2019-02-19.pdf |
