Council Minutes of 1 1-17-2020 be given a vote one way or the other. The committee voted 2-1 to hold Resolution 2020-111 in committee. Councilman Limpert moved to relieve Resolution 2020-111 from Committee as there have been no additional amendments and the committee has completed a thorough evaluation of the Resolution as it stands so it can go to Council for further consideration. The motion was seconded by Councilman Brossard and failed 4-3 due to lack of a two- thirds majority of Council. Roll Call: Yes: Limpert, Brossard, Schumann, Williamson No: Kelly, Hemann, Glassburn Motion failed 4-3 due to lack of a two-thirds majority of Council. Councilwoman Hemann voted no with comment. While I think it is frustrating to have to discuss things at length, I think it is very necessary. This legislation isn't really ready to move forward and particularly for projects of this size they should not, until Council comes to a better understanding of what the project should be. Councilman Schumann voted yes with comment. I appreciate that a lot of us would like to see another lane go in, but I think we are in a position where if we don't do something we will end up with nothing. That's my biggest fear here. It's a bird in the hand situation and I think we should go for it. Councilman Glassburn voted no with comment. As has been stated in the committee, there were three conceptual options put out, only one was fully explored. We did solicit feedback from the public after that one had been chosen by the city administration. The public did not have the same opinion on this and it appears a large number of Councilmembers also do not share the opinion of the recommended route. We still have the ability to go forward of the repaving regardless of the safety grant so at this time I believe we should continue to hold in committee. Councilman Limpert said given the vote, he is providing notice of intention to relieve such committee at the next Council meeting scheduled on December 1, 2020. Council President Jones said notice to Council has been given. Councilman Limpert thanked the Council President and said nowhere in the conversation did he hear anything to say the current resolution needs to be changed or updated, it just simply did not want to be voted on and that is why he is providing his notice.
