CityCouncil | 2022-02-01 | 20 | Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft inquired whether Councilmember Daysog accepts the friendly amendment as seconder to the motion. Councilmember Daysog responded in the affirmative; stated the other issues related to the RFP are process driven and can be figured out. Councilmember Herrera Spencer stated her understanding of the matter is Council is providing direction, so that the matter [RFP] does not have to return in the future. Vice Mayor Vella stated that she does not plan to support the motion; expressed support for a second motion to provide clarifying direction on desired policy elements. Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft expressed support for an additional motion. Councilmember Daysog stated that he thinks the motion had been amended to include several things, which implies staff will come back with a policy; inquired whether the policy is included in the current motion. Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft stated that she understands Council is articulating desired elements of the RFP; the RFP will not come back to Council; however, the policy will return to Council for further consideration. Vice Mayor Vella concurred with Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft. The City Clerk noted comments related to the Crime Analyst position would also be included in the second motion. Councilmember Daysog stated Council should vote on one motion which covers everything; noted supporting an RFP for an ALPR system can include direction for the ALPR policy to return; the matter is not a political issue; the City will either issue an RFP for an ALPR system with a policy or not; he is not understanding the reasoning for a second vote. Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft stated Vice Mayor Vella can make the motion she desires and Council has the right to vote accordingly; noted policy returning to Council is not part of the current motion on the floor. Councilmember Herrera Spencer inquired whether the motion related to policy would include Council deciding on the actual policy; expressed concern about not being upfront with vendors in the RFP process by not deciding the policy at this time. Vice Mayor Vella stated that her motion would be to provide direction on what will be included in the policy; the policy itself is not currently agendized and has not been noticed; the details matter; she has heard many colleagues express concerns; there could be agreement about some policy areas; Council previously bifurcated votes on policy matters; expressed support for providing staff with clear policy direction.
