If that’s in order then | make that motion.
MOTION BY ALDERMAN JETTE TO TABLE O-20-044 BY ROLL CALL
ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Dowd
Attorney Clarke?
President Wilshire
Can you please wait to be recognized.
Alderman Dowd
| am trying to get recognized.
President Wilshire
OK so your motion is to table which is not debatable. So would the Clerk please call the roll?
A viva voce roll call was taken which resulted as follows:
Yea: Alderman Lopez, Alderwoman Lu, Alderman Jette, Alderman Schmidt,
Alderman Cleaver, Alderman Harriott-Gathright, Alderman Wilshire 7
Nay: Alderman O’Brien, Alderman Klee, Alderwoman Kelly, Alderman Dowd,
Alderman Caron, Alderman Clemons, Alderman Tencza,
Alderman Laws 8
MOTION FAILED
President Wilshire
That motion failed and we are back to the motion to suspend the rules to allow for a second reading.
Further discussion on that motion, Alderman Dowd.
Alderman Dowd
Quite frankly, | am not sure we had a first reading of the motion, although | think it was the motion that was
read by City Clerk Lovering. So that was the first motion. In order to do anything with this before tomorrow
night it would have to have had a second reading. So what Alderman Clemons is doing now is suspending
the rules to allow for a second reading tonight. And if that passes then there would have to be another
motion, correct me if | am wrong Attorney Clarke, to have a final vote on final passage which could occur
tonight or tomorrow night. And | thought that we should probably go around the room and have every
Alderman speak once before anybody spoke more than once.
President Wilshire
I’m OK with running the meeting, Alderman Dowd.
