Board of Aldermen 04-09-2019 Page 24
wasn’t Sure it was ready to go for a full vote | could understand that at that point but at this point there are
no formal amendments. So it could go back to the Committee and the amendment dies stillborn.
Alderman Klee
I’d just like to add one other additional point to it and it really it has no bearing on it but | would like to point
out that we are missing four members of this Board. | don’t know, truthfully, | don’t know how they would
vote. But! think | would like to get a Full Board on this if we are going to be changing it on the fly.
Alderman Tencza
So | will just say | am favor of the proposal, I’m not sure I’m in favor of all of the amendments as they have
been proposed. So | would think that tonight the best course of action for the Board is to re-refer it to the
Committee. | don’t know what Alderman Clemons would be proposing, whether it is a wholesale change or
a piecemeal change, asking us to consider each amendment from the ordinance that came out of the
Committee, but rather than go through that process tonight, | think it makes more sense to do that in
Committee and come back at a later date and see. And | think there were points raised tonight and | agree
with Alderman Lopez and many people have said “Hey possession should be” to give this Bill the intention
that we are looking for. So for those reasons | support the Ordinance but think we should re-refer it to
Committee. And | would just say too | mean on a number of things, | think well if | may ask a question of
Corporation Counsel? There’s an effective date of this Ordinance would that have to change at all if we
took another two weeks and brought this back?
Attorney Bolton
| don’t see any reason why two weeks would cause the effective date to require a change.
Alderman Tencza
Thank you.
Alderman Clemons
Roll call.
Vice President O’Brien
Roll call? Ok there is a request for a roll call on the vote. Would the Clerk please call the roll on O-19-037.
Alderman Laws
Are we voting to send it back to Committee right now or are we voting to pass it?
Vice President O’Brien
The Motion before is to refer it back to Committee.
