Council member Yeger raises a procedural objection regarding the lack of a publicly available proposed agenda 36 hours before the meeting.
This leads to a debate on meeting protocols, a motion to appeal the chair's decision, a voice vote, and then a roll call vote on the motion.
Speaker 2
0:05:31
Matter president, I rise for a point of order.
Speaker 1
0:05:38
Granted.
Speaker 2
0:05:39
Thank you.
0:05:40
Under the charter, section 42, the council is required to publish and make publicly available a proposed agenda for every meeting of the council.
0:05:47
At least 36 hours prior to the meeting.
0:05:50
The council did not do that.
0:05:51
As of midnight last night, there was no such agenda posted.
0:05:54
No such agenda sent to the council members, and my understanding is that until this morning that was not done.
Speaker 1
0:06:06
We were noticed on this past Friday, so that accounts for the time frame.
Speaker 2
0:06:12
President, if I may, the charter requires that at least 36 hours prior to a stated meeting of the council or as soon as practicable prior to a special meeting.
0:06:21
This is a stated meeting.
0:06:23
The council shall publish and make publicly available a proposed agenda for such meeting.
0:06:28
The council's website said no agenda available.
Speaker 1
0:06:38
Thank you, council member Yager.
0:06:40
Point heard and acknowledged, but we were posted more than 36 hour time frame for this latest meeting.
Speaker 2
0:06:46
Point of information, madam president?
Speaker 1
0:06:48
Not granted.
Speaker 2
0:06:49
Point of information is not is not the debatable.
0:06:52
It's it's a question that that the
Speaker 1
0:06:54
Sure.
0:06:55
Go ahead.
0:06:55
Point of information.
Speaker 2
0:06:56
Point of information that I'm asking is if the president may advise the body and the public when that 36 hour period happened since the president is so sure that it occurred.
0:07:05
I'm wondering if the president could share that information with the public.
Speaker 1
0:07:09
Stand by.
0:11:27
Thank you for the moment folks.
0:11:31
So just for just to respond to the point of clarification, meeting the meeting agenda was noticed at 4:53 PM last Friday, which is more than 36 hours.
0:11:41
And per according to and pursuant to rule 8.00 messages from the mayor, can be received at any time and are not required to be on a proposed agenda.
0:11:54
We are now going to continue
Speaker 2
0:11:55
At a president that moved to appeal the decision of the share to the full body.
Speaker 1
0:11:59
Counsel member Yeager.
Speaker 2
0:12:01
That's a motion.
Speaker 1
0:12:25
The ruling of the chair has been opposed, and this will be subject to a roll call vote I mean, to a voice vote.
0:12:33
Those in favor, say I.
0:12:39
To up those in favor to uphold the ruling of the chair, say I.
0:12:44
Those opposed?
0:12:47
The eyes have it.
0:12:48
We will now confer
Speaker 2
0:12:49
the president of the country.
0:12:50
For division of the body, I move for a roll call vote notwithstanding the I vote.
0:12:56
It's permissible under rules of thank you.
Speaker 1
0:12:58
Sure.
0:12:59
We'll take a roll call for you, Kaltzma, Rio Grande.
0:13:01
Roll call?
Speaker 3
0:13:03
Abreu, I to oppose.
Speaker 1
0:13:14
Just give me a standby for a moment so I can clarify what we'll be doing a roll call vote on.
Speaker 3
0:13:26
Wider on the floor, please.
Speaker 1
0:14:39
Okay.
0:14:40
Prior to calling roll call, just to be clear, council member Jaeger has called for a roll call vote.
0:14:47
On his motion to appeal the ruling of the chair that this body is able to receive messages from the mayor at any given point in time and are not required to be proposed on any to to not required to be on any proposed agenda.
0:15:03
You can go into roll call vote.
0:15:07
Sorry.
0:15:08
A vote of I is to uphold that ruling, and a vote of no is against it.
Speaker 2
0:15:18
Can you repeat that, please?
Speaker 1
0:15:23
A vote of I is to uphold that ruling of us being able to receive messages from the mayor at any given point in time without it being on a proposed stated agenda, and a vote of no is in opposition to it.
0:15:48
Sure.
0:15:49
An additional clarifying point, pursuant to rule 8.00 on messages from the mayor that is for us to receive those messages.
