Councilor Zelenka suggested the text in Councilor Bettman’s e-mail was in keeping with the council’s last conversation on the topic. Councilor Pryor was willing to allow the attorney to do more work on the ballot title but was not willing to support the motion because other councilors might also want to provide input. He did not want the motion to reflect the “officially voted on version.” Councilor Bettman said that she took to heart the fact that the council could not tell the attorney what to write, but a majority of councilors could express their opinion that they believed her suggestion was in keeping with the resolution and was clear and neutral. She pointed out that after a period of time, any one could challenge the title in Circuit Court. Roll call vote; the vote on the motion was a 4:4 tie; councilors Taylor, Bettman, Ortiz, and Zelenka voting yes; councilors Solomon, Poling, Pryor, and Clark voting no. Mayor Piercy cast a vote in support of the motion and it passed on a final vote of 5:4. 4.
