Speaking to the issue of council polls for work sessions, Mr. Clark asked that staff ensure that polls were <br />sent to the council via e-mail. Councilors then discussed whether to include a neutral option on council <br />polls. <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor, seconded by Mr. Brown, moved to have a yes, no, and neutral option for coun- <br />cil work session polls. The motion failed, 6:2; Ms. Taylor and Ms. Ortiz voting yes. <br /> <br />Mr. Zelenka, seconded by Ms. Ortiz, moved to adopt the second bullet under item 3, “Time <br />for more detailed committee reports” (“Schedule one 30-minute session for general rounds <br />and one 60-minute round for specific updates, and set a rotation so all committees are cov- <br />ered each quarter.”) <br /> <br />Mr. Zelenka accepted a friendly amendment from Ms. Ortiz that councilors would either give an oral <br />presentation or complete the report form and submit it as part of the record. <br /> <br />Ms. Ortiz asked that neighborhood groups be placed on a separate page. <br /> <br /> The motion passed, 7:1; Mr. Poling voting no. <br /> <br />Mr. Clark raised an issue for future discussion, asking the council to consider beginning every formal <br />meeting in the Council Chamber with the Pledge of Allegiance. Mr. Poling endorsed the idea. <br /> <br />Mr. Zelenka, seconded by Ms. Taylor, moved that when councilors requested an item be de- <br />ferred due to an anticipated absence, that request be automatically granted unless action on <br />the issue was time-sensitive. The motion failed, 5:3; Mr. Zelenka, Ms. Taylor, and Mr. <br />Brown voting yes. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy adjourned the work session at 1:25 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Beth Forrest <br />City Recorder <br /> <br />(Recorded by Kimberly Young) <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—City Council October 27, 2010 Page 5 <br /> Work Session <br />
