CityCouncil | 2022-03-15 | 12 | Vice Mayor Vella moved approval of calling the question. Councilmember Knox White seconded the motion, which required four affirmative votes and failed by the following roll call vote: Councilmembers Daysog: No; Herrera Spencer: No; Knox White: Aye; Vella: Aye; and Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft: Aye. Ayes: 3. Noes: 2. Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft encouraged Councilmembers to follow the Council rules. Councilmember Herrera Spencer stated she did follow the rules. The City Manager stated Councilmember Herrera Spencer's questions started prior to today and continued into today; additional questions were asked after information was provided. Councilmember Herrera Spencer stated the tenant paid rent last month, but did not pay the prior six months; she is concerned the business may continue to struggle, which is why she wants to ensure there is a sufficient personal guarantee to reimburse the City if the tenant falls behind; she plans to support the staff recommendation, but wants to acknowledge it is City property and having the tenant get back on schedule is very important; the tenant received 6 months credit for improvements; an additional 6 month is being deferred, which will make the payment higher and might be difficult for the tenant. The Assistant Community Development Director noted the tenant requested the same thing the City offered to other tenants. On the call for the question, the original motion carried by the following vote: Councilmembers Daysog: Aye; Herrera Spencer: Aye; Knox White: Aye; Vella: Aye; and Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft: Aye. Ayes: 5.
