CityCouncil | 2021-05-18 | 21 | provide sufficient rendering and analysis of the audit. Councilmember Herrera Spencer concurred with Councilmember Daysog's interpretation. On the call for the question, the motion carried by the following roll call vote: Councilmembers Daysog: Aye; Herrera Spencer: Aye; Knox White: Aye; Vella: No Vice Mayor Vella inquired whether Council is setting the amount of time for the presentation and whether the matter is being placed on the Regular Agenda to give the City Auditor two minutes of speaking time. Councilmember Knox White stated that he understood the direction to allow for a ten minute presentation; however, the City Auditor's previous comments were almost completed, which would mean ten minutes would not be needed; the City Auditor will return to Council and complete his comments. Vice Mayor Vella inquired whether the matter will be placed on the agenda as a Regular Agenda Item or a Consent Calendar Item. Councilmember Knox White stated the matter is assumed to be placed as a Regular Agenda Item. Councilmember Herrera Spencer stated Councilmember Knox White's rendition is correct; the matter would be placed on the Regular Agenda and will be retroactive to capture the previously presented audit. Vice Mayor Vella inquired whether public comment would be closed and that the matter is considered a continued agenda item or whether the matter will be considered new. The City Attorney responded the matter brought forth will be placed on the Regular Agenda and the public will have a right to comment. Vice Mayor Vella inquired whether Council's previous acceptance of the audit would be undone. The City Attorney responded the matter will be similar to bringing a presentation forth for Council discussion, such as a presentation from the Historical Society; the presentation will not have an impact on the audit and will simply be brought forth as a presentation to Council. Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft expressed concern about setting a precedent. The City Manager stated his previous recommendation was direction for the upcoming 2022 audit.
