Home Browse Search

Mr. Zelenka asked if the council needed to take action given the manager had the authority to take action and he intended to renew the options. Acting City Manager Jones indicated the manager intended to renew all the options. Mr. Klein asked if Ms. Bettman intended that the manager not renew all the options as he thought that should be made explicit. Ms. Bettman rephrased the motion to direct the City Manager to renew only options 11 and 12. Ms. Taylor accepted the modification. Mr. Klein said the intent of the motion was that the manager would be directed not to renew the other options. Ms. Bettman pointed out that the other options did not expire on April 26. Mr. Klein indicated the effect of the motion was to deny the KWG proposal. Mr. Poling, seconded by Mr. Clark, moved to amend the motion to include Option 15. Mr. Poling said the council did not know what proposal it would support at this point and he did not want to preclude the KWG proposal from moving forward by losing the options. Mr. Clark thought it premature to end an option before the community discussion. Ms. Ortiz did not understand the subject and did not support any of the options. She wanted to know what the public was willing to pay for. Mayor Piercy said she did not think the motion was necessary at this time as the council was in the middle of the process. The motion to the amendment passed 4:3; Ms. Taylor, Ms. Bettman, and Ms. Ortiz voting no. Mr. Clark, seconded by Mr. Poling, moved to amend the motion to remove the word “only.” The amendment to the motion passed, 4:3; Ms. Taylor, Ms. Bettman, and Ms. Ortiz voting no. The amended motion passed 4:3; Ms. Taylor, Ms. Bettman, and Ms. Ortiz voting no. The meeting adjourned at 1:36 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Dennis M.
