Discussion (7:18 p.m.)

(funny, I’d thought this would be a routine agenda item)
Sandy Trammell: Agrees with Bagby.
Windes: “This is what we need new councilors for, to abolish what was done right before they came on board.”
Trammell: This isn’t unmaking that, we’re simply putting the workshop under the LPA.
6-1, Windes voting no, to reconsider the original motion to create a blue-ribbon panel.
There is now a lot of discussion over the parliamentary procedure they need. I won’t recap it in detail (and I’m quite sure you don’t want me to).
Fortunately, City Clerk Rey Bailey found the original motion in the minutes, so they know exactly what they’re voting on.
Sam: Going to vote no (that is, not to support the Blue Ribbon Committee). Thought the blue-ribbon panel was a good idea, but the technicalities of appointing members (only one from the land trust, for instance) have turned her off.
The vote: 6-1 against creating the blue-ribbon committee, with Windes voting no. Barker: “The motion passes–no, the original motion fails.”
