Councilor Ortiz, seconded by Councilor Taylor, moved to extend time for the meeting by ten minutes. Councilor Solomon and Councilor Papé indicated they had to leave the meeting. Councilor Papé reiterated Councilor Poling’s request that action not be taken on the next agenda item. Speaking to earlier comments made by Councilor Kelly about Councilor Poling’s request to delay action on the item, Councilor Papé pointed out that when Councilor Poling made the motion to place the Goal 5 inventory item on the schedule, he did not know of the amendments that would be offered to the body. Councilor Bettman said that the council had applicants for committee positions who had “stepped up to the plate” to provide a valuable community service for no compensation, and Mr. Monk had stayed through the entire proceedings waiting to see if he was going to be appointed. She thought the council should move forward as long as it had a quorum. Mayor Piercy believed that the next item would only take a few minutes. Roll call vote; the motion to extend time passed, 5:2; councilors Solomon and Papé voting no. Councilors Solomon and Papé left the meeting. 8.

Councilor Pryor said that while he would have supported the reappointment of a candidate who had previously served, he would support the mayor’s nomination. He said the board was a governance board, not an advocacy group, and he encouraged Mr. Monk to serve in a collaborative manner. Roll call vote; the motion passed unanimously, 5:0.
