Mr. Zelenka apologized, saying he had intended to bring up the item earlier but ran out of time. He agreed <br />with Mr. Pryor that a better process could be in place and protocol established. He believed the motion was <br />time sensitive. <br /> <br />Mr. Pryor said just because someone had the right to do something did not make that action appropriate. To <br />bring something up without any notice was not appropriate. One could bring something up at the eleventh <br />hour intending to short-circuit the process, rather than facilitate it. If asked to vote on the motion, he needed <br />to give it thought and a lack of time did not help that. He was elected to give such items thoughtful <br />consideration. Dropping motions on the table at the last minute was antithesis to that. He could not act <br />thoughtfully if given something on such short notice. He suggested the council was bound by propriety <br />rather than law. <br /> <br />Ms. Ortiz agreed with Mr. Pryor. However, she would support the motion although she wished there was <br />time to expand knowledge about the issue. <br /> <br />Mr. Zelenka, seconded by Mr. Pryor, moved to table the motion to June 4, 2008. The mo- <br />tion passed, 7:1; Ms. Taylor voting no. <br /> <br /> <br />C.
