President Wilshire
Alderman Clemons.
Alderman Clemons
Thank you. The motion that we, the original motion by Alderman Lopez was to pass the ordinance and we
rejected that motion. So then the piece comes before us again and then we have to — because we rejected
moving it forward, we rejected passing it. So now we have to make another motion to do something with
the Legislation. So in other words, it’s still before us. The motion that | made was to indefinitely postpone;
the motion that Alderman Klee made was to table it. Tabling it puts it on our Agenda basically on the table
until somebody takes it off of the Agenda, indefinitely postponing it takes it away for good until another
Alderman files similar Legislation down the road. So that’s basically the difference between the two and
the two motions and why we are voting again.
Alderman Dowd
Parliamentary question of Attorney Leonard.
President Wilshire
Alderman Dowd.
Alderman Dowd
| believe that the only time you can take it off the table is if somebody that voted in the winning side could
bring it up again.
President Wilshire
And | believe that would have to be at the next meeting.
Alderman Dowd
Well it can’t be before the next meeting and it would be only at the next meeting and | think it’s only that
somebody would have to bring it back that voted nay. Not somebody that voted yes. | believe that’s the ...
Attorney Leonard?
President Wilshire
It would have to be someone that voted on the prevailing side, yes.
Attorney Leonard
Yep, | agree.
President Wilshire
OK so Madam Clerk, where are we, we are in the middle of a vote?
City Clerk Lovering
We are for a motion, we were in a motion for indefinite postponement and then recognizing Alderman Klee
| don’t know if we recognized her motion to table.
