Given its first and second reading;
MOTION BY ALDERMAN CLEMONS FOR FINAL PASSAGE OF R-16-031
ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Cookson
| am utterly confused. Don’t we have to do a first reading and then...
President McCarthy
We just did.
Alderman Cookson
We did a first and second reading.

President McCarthy

| think the clerk was assuming that since the next sentence would be identical to the first we could read it once.
If you would like to have it read again, we can do that.

Alderman Cookson

You're the president. | just want to be sure that we are following Robert’s Rules and we are doing it
appropriately and no questions asked.

President McCarthy

We actually follow Mason’s Rules.
Alderman Cookson

Masons. Thank you.

President McCarthy

The rule is as long as everybody understands what we are doing, it’s okay generally. | admit this is somewhat
irregular, but | think that’s the nature of the piece of legislation.

Alderman Siegel

| was just going to echo Alderman Cookson’s concerns. We typically would have voted on a second reading.
It’s not a vanilla procedural motion in my mind. Again, | don’t see any issue per se, but we are supposed to
have some sort of a process.
