<br />Ms. Taylor asserted there would be a public hearing and plenty of opportunity for public process. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman pointed out that the second part of Ms. Taylor’s motion included a process that would allow <br />the public to weigh in on the acquisition. She said discussions had been ongoing for some time with no <br />result and it was time for the council to take definitive action. <br /> <br />Mr. Zelenka, seconded by Mr. Clark, moved to amend the motion to direct the City <br />Manager to bring back for council action a motion for eminent domain. <br /> <br />Mr. Klein clarified that Ms. Taylor’s motion to direct the manager to institute proceedings in eminent <br />domain meant the first actual step would be preparation of an authorizing ordinance for public hearing. He <br />said that while Mr. Zelenka’s motion clarified that, it was not necessary. <br /> <br />Mr. Zelenka withdrew his motion. <br /> <br />Mr. Clark asked for clarification on whether the ordinance would be the subject of a work session. Mr. <br />Klein said there would be a proposed ordinance on the May 21 meeting agenda for public hearing and action <br />would need to be scheduled at a later date. <br /> <br />Mr. Zelenka hoped in the interim that other councilors could be fully informed on the issue. <br /> <br />The vote on the main motion was tied, 4:4; voting in support were Ms. Ortiz, Ms. <br />Bettman, Ms. Taylor and Mr. Zelenka and in opposition were Mr. Poling, Mr. <br />Pryor, Mr. Clark and Ms Solomon. Mayor Piercy voted in favor and the motion <br />passed. <br /> <br /> <br />A. ACTION: Resolution 4908 Concerning City Testimony on Personnel or Collective Bargaining <br />Legislative Matters, and Amending Resolution 4139 by the Repeal of Section 7 Therefrom <br /> <br />Ms. Ortiz, seconded by Mr. Pryor, moved to adopt Resolution 4908 concerning <br />City testimony on personnel or collective bargaining legislative matters and amend- <br />ing Resolution 4139 by the repeal of Section 7 therefrom. <br /> <br />Mr. Pryor indicated he was willing to adopt the resolution if there was public acknowledgement that more <br />work needed to be done on other sections of Resolution 4139. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman said she had an initial concern about how the amendment and resolution would be tracked in <br />the future but, based on a conversation with the City Attorney, she was satisfied with the procedure before <br />the council. <br /> <br />The motion passed unanimously, 8:0. <br /> <br /> <br />B.
