CityCouncil | 2022-02-01 | 25 | Vice Mayor Vella stated Councilmember Knox White's recommendation of having the Recreation and Parks Director bring the matter back to Council would suffice; she would like to note that Council has recommended the matter go through whichever processes seen fit prior to coming back before Council. Councilmember Knox White stated that he has proposed a motion with direction to staff, not a motion to take action; the direction indicates Council's wish that when the easements go forward, staff can see fit to move the fence when safety allows; Council is not taking action. Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft inquired whether the motion is to have the matter return to Council at a future agenda date. Councilmember Knox White responded in the negative; stated that he does not want to see the matter return; Council has given direction on matters which are within the general scope of an item; the motion is general direction that Council would like to see the fence get moved when the easements are complete and safety permits; the motion keeps Council from getting into the administrative actions of the City. The City Attorney stated Council may always provide general direction on any agenda item; Council may give general direction; the referral rules are clear in that should Council wish to give specific direction, there are three choices; Council may direct staff to bring the matter back, take no further action or reject the referral; Council may provide general direction on any item. Councilmember Herrera Spencer seconded the motion. Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft requested the motion be re-stated. Councilmember Knox White stated the motion is to approve the Council's wish that the fence be moved at such a time that the fence is setup for when the new easements are put in place and that those fences are erected as safety allows. Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft inquired whether budget is included in the motion, to which Councilmember Knox White responded in the negative. 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: Aye; and Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft: Aye. Ayes: 5.
