Councilor Poling, seconded by Councilor Solomon, moved to appoint Michael Caprais to <br />Position 8 on the Budget Committee for a three-year term beginning November 1, 2005, <br />and ending on October 31, 2008. <br /> <br />Councilor Kelly, seconded by Councilor Taylor, moved to substitute Claire Syrette for <br />Michael Caprais. <br /> <br />Councilor Kelly supported placing Ms. Syrette on the Budget Committee because he believed she was <br />more appropriate selection in order to maintain a balance. He said that with Ms. Syrette the Budget <br />Committee would be comprised of six men and two women. <br /> <br />Councilor Solomon, seconded by Councilor Poling, moved to amend the substitute motion <br />to appoint Maurie Denner to the Budget Committee. <br /> <br />Councilor Solomon averred that Mr. Denner exemplified public service. She said he was qualified and <br />knowledgeable and the City had benefited from his service on the Police Commission. <br /> <br />Councilor Bettman moved to substitute Claire Syrette for Maurie Denner. <br /> <br />City Attorney Jerry Lidz explained that according to Robert’s Rules of Order, a motion, a motion to amend, <br />and a motion to amend the amendment could be made and no more than that. He said the way to get to <br />Councilor Bettman’s desired result was to vote down Councilor Solomon’s motion and proceed from there. <br /> <br />Councilor Ortiz commented that she knew Mr. Denner and Mr. Caprais and they would both benefit any <br />committee they would serve on, but she intended to support Ms. Syrette’s appointment. <br /> <br />Councilor Papé commended Sherry Schaeffer for her service on the Budget Committee, adding that he <br />wished she could have remained on the committee. <br /> <br />Roll call vote; the vote on the motion to amend a 4:4 tie, with councilors Poling, Solomon, <br />Papé, and Pryor voting in favor and councilors Ortiz, Bettman, Taylor, and Kelly voting in <br />opposition. Mayor Piercy voted against the amendment and the motion failed on a final <br />vote of 5:4. <br /> <br />Roll call vote; the motion to substitute Claire Syrette for Michael Caprais passed, 5:3; <br />councilors Solomon, Poling, and Pryor voting in opposition. <br /> <br />Roll call vote; the amended motion to appoint Claire Syrette to the Budget Committee <br />passed unanimously, 8:0. <br /> <br /> Planning Commission <br /> <br />Councilor Poling, seconded by Councilor Solomon, moved to reappoint John Lawless to <br />Position 5 on the Planning Commission for a four-year term beginning November 1, 2005, <br />and ending on October 31, 2009.
