Special Board of Aldermen 12-21-2020 Page 37
Alderman Clemons
No | am not going to do that, | would encourage you to vote yes or no whether or not you want to vote on
this tonight or tomorrow.
President Wilshire
Alderman Lopez?
Alderman Lopez
So | just wanted to clarify that that was what my confusion was is because when we typically take business
up before the Board it gets read and then the President just announces where it’s going. So | thought you
were going to be announcing it to go to tomorrow. On the script it says that | am sponsoring it and | wasn’t
sure whether you wanted me to do that or whether we were opening it for discussion, so that’s why |
opened discussion.
President Wilshire
Ok so the motion before us now is to suspend the rules to allow for a second reading. You can vote yea or
nay and then we can take it up after that, whatever comes from the vote.
Alderman Lopez
If we vote nay though does that automatically bump it to the next meeting? Because Alderman Clemons
did just make a motion to indefinitely postpone it.
Alderman Harriott-Gathright
No he corrected that motion.
Alderman Schmiat
He withdrew it.
President Wilshire
Ok so you withdrew that motion.
Alderman Lopez
OK.
Alderman Jette
So Madam President, would it be in order for me to make a motion to table until tomorrow night?
President Wilshire
It would be in order, it depends on how the Board feels.
