President McCarthy
It’s to amend.
Alderman Deane
Would my motion to vote on the goldenrod copy be out of order, Mr. President?
President McCarthy
| believe you can actually motion to amend the amendment to the goldenrod copy.
MOTION BY ALDERMAN DEANE TO AMEND THE AMENDMENT TO THE GOLDONROD COPY
Alderman Lopez
Can | make a motion to amend the goldenrod copy back to my original amendment?
President McCarthy
No. Let me explain this so everyone understands it. The rules allow a motion to amend in order to get
the amendment right. You can make a single level of amendments to the amendment at a time. If
Alderman Deane’s motion were to pass then the motion would be to pass the amendment which is now
the goldenrod copy to replace the legislation. The motion is to amend the amendment to include the
goldenrod copy instead of the copy circulated by the Mayor.
Alderman Siegel
Just for clarity because this is getting very recursive, a yes vote would be a vote to basically vote for the
goldenrod copy, is that correct?
President McCarthy
To vote to replace the proposed amendment with the goldenrod copy.
Alderman Siegel
Okay, thank you.
