e Councilor Smith agreed that it was appropriate to refer the matter back to the Hearings Panel for further discussion and information from staff. She said more information on the question of deferred assessments was also needed. Ms. Smith moved, seconded by Mr. Obie, that the matter be referred back to the Hearings Panel, with staff to respond to the questions raised by Mr. Matott, including the question of adequate legal notice. e Tim Sercombe, City Attorney's Office, noted that the council was presently considering only the bid award, not the assessment itself. Mr. Gleason said that a two-thirds vote of the council was needed to open discussion of the assessment. He said that the council must decide on the bid issue independent of what the Hearings Panel decides regarding the assessment. Responding to a question from Mr. Gleason, Mr. Teitzel said that there would not be a problem with holding the bid award for 30 days. Mr. Lindberg said that the questions of special benefit and of council-initiated versus owner-initiated projects needed to be dealt with. He noted that at the Hearings Panel level he had personally treated this as if it were a City-initiated project. Councilor Hansen said he believed that the Hearings Panel would face the same problems it had addressed in dealing with the Goodpasture Island Road assessments. He felt that the decision on the question of special benefits would ultimately be the same. Mr. Obie said he was concerned that Mr. Matott be given an opportunity to develop a record regarding the assessment. Roll call vote; motion carred 7:1, with Councilors Ball, Hansen, Holmer, Lindberg, Obie, Schue, and Smith voting in favor and Councilor Wooten voting in opposition. Mr. Obie moved, seconded by Ms. Smith, to table the matter of the contract award until the council has received the report of the Hearings Panel. Mr. Gleason said the City Code would require the contract award to be brought from the table for a decision within 45 days. Ms. Schue noted that motions to table are non-debatable. Roll call vote; motion carred 5:3, with Councilors Holmer, Lindberg, Obie, Schue, and Smith voting in favor and Councilors Ball, Hansen, and Wooten voting in opposition. 2.
