She stated that typically the council did not get to see the project list from which <br />projects were selected. <br /> <br /> Mr. Pap6, seconded by Mr. Poling, moved to table the motion until August <br /> 11, 2003 and have a statement of direction brought before the council at that <br /> time. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman asked for clarification on the statement of direction mentioned in the motion. Mr. <br />Pap6 replied that he wanted to see the language of the statement he understood Ms. Bettman <br />wanted herself and Mayor Torrey to present to the MPC.

She felt there was a better <br />chance of obtaining funding for those types of projects. <br /> <br />Mayor Torrey said he could support the motion to table to a time certain in order to obtain <br />background information. <br /> Mayor Torrey called for the vote on the motion to table. The motion failed, <br /> 5:3; Mr. Pap6, Mr. Poling, and Ms. Solomon voting in favor. <br /> <br /> Mayor Torrey called for the vote on the main motion.
