recommendations of the task force should be taken seriously and honored by the council. e Mr. Holmer urged the other councilors to defeat the amendment to the motion. He said the ordinance is the law and the notification procedures are clear. He urged Mr. Bennett to continue to work to improve the ordinance. Ms. Ehrman agreed with Mr. Holmer. She suggested the council send a letter with the ordinance indicating that the ordinance may be changed. Ms. Wooten said the task force discussed Ms. Ehrman's suggestion and did not recommend it. Answering a question from Ms. Schue, Mr. Potter said the task force vote on the recommendation concerning notification was 7:4. Mr. Bennett said the existing ordinance causes a dilemma and his interpretation of the council's direction is that the existence of the ordinance is not a reason for implementing certain provisions. He said he understands that the council's direction to the task force is to address the specific issues in the written charge. He said those issues involve more than technical legal issues. He said he would like the council charge to the task force reaffirmed or changed. Ms. Wooten said she hoped to discuss the matter in a week or two, and Mr. Bennett responded that he is willing to discuss it later. e Ms. Schue moved, and Mr. Rutan seconded, to table the motion. Roll call vote; the motion failed 3:5 with Councilors Schue, Rutan, and Bennett voting aye and Councilors Ehrman, Holmer, Wooten, Miller, and Bascom voting nay. Roll call vote on the amendment; the motion failed 2:6 with Councilors Rutan and Bennett voting aye and Councilors Ehrman, Holmer, Schue, Wooten, Bascom, and Miller voting nay. Roll call vote on the motion; the motion carried 6:2 with Councilors Ehrman, Holmer, Schue, Wooten, Bascom, and Miller voting aye and Councilors Rutan and Bennett voting nay. Mayor Obie directed that a discussion of the issue raised by Mr. Bennett be scheduled for a Wednesday council meeting when both Ms. Wooten and Mr. Bennett will be present. VII.
