CityCouncil | 2020-06-02 | 10 | Councilmember Daysog inquired whether the motion means that the current curfew ends Friday morning at 5:00 a.m. and could be extended for two cumulative days. The City Manager stated the City's curfew ends Wednesday morning at 5:00 a.m.; should a curfew be ordered Wednesday and Thursday, the authority to enact another curfew would cease until returning back to Council. Councilmember Daysog expressed support for the motion. Councilmember Oddie seconded the motion and requested a friendly amendment of the curfew being until Thursday or Friday morning when the County order expires to give the City Manager discretion; stated that he would want Council to discuss any actions taken after Friday morning; expressed concern about an "open season" on Alameda with no curfew while the County curfew is still in effect. Under discussion, Councilmember Vella requested the motion be bifurcated; expressed support for deprioritizing stops when a curfew is not active in Alameda and the emergency declaration. Vice Mayor Knox White accepted the request to bifurcate the motion. The City Clerk stated the urgency ordinance both declares the emergency and has curfew language; noted the curfew language is in the ordinance, which requires one motion. Councilmember Vella stated enforcement should be deprioritized only if under a County curfew with no City curfew. Councilmember Daysog expressed concern about the need to coordinate with the County on a variety of items related to public safety and for things not being easy; stated that he would support a positive phrase. The City Manager stated that he understands the direction on the emergency declaration, but that is unclear on the number of allowed curfew days. Vice Mayor Knox White stated Council is ratifying Section 4: "The City Manager's June 1st curfew order is ratified, Council extends the curfew until June 3rd 5:00 a.m.;' inquired whether there can be a separate vote on Council giving authority as a second ordinance. The City Attorney responded the curfew language should be voted on first to indicate consensus on curfew details, followed by an overall vote on the ordinance with curfew language removed should there not be consensus. The City Manager stated two Councilmembers are questioning whether the vote could be split by taking the curfew out of the ordinance to vote, and then a vote to amend the Special Meeting Alameda City Council June 2, 2020 9 | CityCouncil/2020-06-02.pdf |
