CityCouncil | 2020-06-02 | 24 | Councilmember Vella inquired whether a hold for an agenda item will be placed for future Council to either affirm, amend or deny the ballot measure, should any be placed on future election dates. The City Attorney responded there is no legal requirement to offer an agenda item to a new Council; staff can perform the request if desired or the new Council can direct staff to bring an item forward. Councilmember Vella inquired whether Council can indicate the item is currently being declined, but request to have the item return. The City Attorney responded Council may choose to not take action and direct staff to bring the item back at a date specific. Councilmember Oddie inquired the reason Section 22-7 and 22-8 are included; questioned whether the item is related to Council pay. The City Clerk responded the Sections were selected as general cleanup; noted per- diem amounts are set by the State and hours listed in Section 22-8 are not what the set City hours have been. Councilmember Vella expressed support for bifurcating the discussion; expressed support for moving cleanup language forward; suggestion Council to take a vote on each item. Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft inquired whether each item could be taken as: A [Cleanup], B [City Prosecutor], C [Council pay], D [Section 7-3], and E [Article 26], to which the City Clerk responded in the affirmative; stated E was the previous agenda item and has been addressed. Vice Mayor Knox White moved approval of directing staff to return with language for section A, cleanup language, for the November 2020 ballot, with the direction to use "they and their." Councilmember Daysog seconded the motion. Under discussion, Councilmember Vella stated that she would like to ensure to include removal of "his/her" terms. Councilmember Oddie expressed support for staff to use the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer/Questioning (LGBTQ) caucus at the League of Cities' model language for gender neutral language samples. On the call for the question, the motion carried by the following roll call vote: Councilmembers Daysog: Aye; Knox White: Aye; Oddie: Aye; Vella: Aye; and Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft: Aye. Ayes: 5.
