Board of Aldermen 03-09-2021 Page 16
Alderwoman Lu
Thank you. So whether we indefinitely postpone or we vote to nay, if the nay wins, or rather whether we take a
vote and it loses and it does not pass, or if we move for an indefinite postponement and that passes, in either
case the prohibition against bringing it up again is only for this session of our Board, is that correct?
President Wilshire
Yes.
Alderwoman Lu
Thank you.
Attorney Bolton
Well, no.
President Wilshire
Well no? OK.
Attorney Bolton
lf a motion were made for passage and it failed, the Resolution would still be before the Board, it could be
amended, it could be tabled, it could be referred to Committee or it could then be indefinitely postponed or
rejected. If a motion to reject it were to pass, it would be rejected and then for the remainder of this term your
rules say the same Resolution cannot be reintroduced. That is also true if the motion were to Indefinitely
Postpone. If that were to pass your rules would prohibit the same Resolution from being reintroduced this
term. Now what is the “same” is largely flexible and within the Board’s control. So if it gets Indefinitely
Postponed this evening and someone at some later time wants to change it to 7:02 as a starting time,
presumably that could be introduced.
Alderwoman Lu
