Board of Aldermen 3-10-2020 Page 27
That we were going to suspend the rules, get a second reading and pass this so he could fulfill wnat he
asked to do at the beginning of the meeting. So | don’t think there was any ambiguity as to what we were
trying to do with this Ordinance.
President Wilshire
The motion on the floor is for final passage of Resolution 20-020.
Alderwoman Lu
Thank you. When | have been listening to the Mayor, | don’t take that as instructions of what we are going
to do. So | was not prepared for the instructions that will be suspending the rules. | understood it was a
request but | thought it was something that could or would be voted on. Thank you.
Alderwoman Kelly
| apologize, | actually just want some clarity from Attorney Bolton. So if this were to happen again and
someone objects do we not need to wait to be called on do we just interrupt and say, “I object” in order to
get the timing you are talking about.
Attorney Bolton
The strictly correct way is to say, “point of order’. Any time that you hear “if there are no objections’ it is
proper to say “I object, | do object” or words to that effect. And you don’t have to be recognized and the
same thing if you want to raise a point of order, you can raise that without being recognized. In this case
the President or in Committee it would be the Chairman, Chairperson, Chair, interrupt the speaker and ask
the person who called out “point of order’, “what is the point of order’ and a point of order should be
something that has been done or is being done in violation of the rules. It should not be used just “l
disagree”. It should be calling the attention of the Chair to a transgression of the rules.
Alderwoman Kelly
Thank you very much.
President Wilshire
The motion before us is for final passage of Resolution 20-022. Further discussion on that?
