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 />Ms. Taylor, seconded by Mr. Brown, moved to have a yes, no, and neutral option for <br />council work session polls. The motion failed, 6:2; Ms. Taylor and Ms. Ortiz voting yes. <br />Mr. Zelenka, seconded by Ms. Ortiz, moved to adopt the second bullet under item 3, <br />"Time for more detailed committee reports" ( "Schedule one 30- minute session for general <br />rounds and one 60- minute round for specific updates, and set a rotation so all committees <br />are covered each quarter. ") <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 />Ms. Ortiz asked that neighborhood groups be placed on a separate page. <br />The motion passed, 7: l; Mr. Poling voting no. <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 />Mr. Zelenka, seconded by Ms. Taylor, moved that when councilors requested an item be <br />deferred due to an anticipated absence, that request be automatically granted unless action <br />on the issue was time - sensitive. The motion failed, 5:3; Mr. Zelenka, Ms. Taylor, and Mr. <br />Brown voting yes. <br />Mayor Piercy adjourned the work session at 1:25 p.m. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />��q \ 44 <br />Beth Forrest <br />City Recorder <br />(Recorded by Kimberly Young) <br />MINUTES— Eugene City Council October 27, 2010 Page 5 <br />Work Session <br />
