“So what item are you looking at again, I'm sorry?”
“That's to bifurcate, if we need to bifurcate an item. OK, so it's not the individual. It's just if you need to bifurcate an item.”
“Yeah, then you have to call individual roll call.”
“Yeah, it was like this in the... We just copied what was there previously.”
“Yeah, I mean, this is a... this is a procedure from Robert's rule. So to your question, I think now reading the entire section again, I think it does have to do with if there's a misunderstanding of a unanimous, if it's a roll call, obviously each person takes a vote. If we ask for a yay or nay, I mean, most of the time I think it's pretty clear, but if we need to have a question of who, I think the mayor can call a roll call if it's required.”
“I have no problem with that. Again, this was copied from the other section. I don't think there's ever, there's no intention of foreseeing a vote that wasn't taken. I think in the purposes of when we take a vote as a body, most of the time I'll read back into the record that the vote was unanimous. And if someone has an objection to that, they can absolutely say they have an objection to it.”
“Yeah, you still need a majority. You still have to follow the charter. You need a super majority to be able to lay down an item. But this is in here for the purposes of if something like that is to come before us, you still do need the rules of procedure.”
“There's just for special we took out the all I mentioned of events through this sponsorship program because it conflicts with our council initiated events policy It's a it would be circum circumventing that policy to leave it in here so really the purpose of our council sponsorships for nonprofits through this policy or through this code is for the purposes of supporting local NGOs and nonprofits that are doing a benefit to the community and you can be listed as their sponsor at through that program that they're offering or on their website but we wanted to to have clarity that this is not in…”
“That was in there from the first initiated policy. We always had it in there that you could not use this funds to pay for special event permitting.”
“Okay. Any other comments or questions? Yes, I do.”
“Councilwoman, first, I haven't had a chance to look at my emails today. I've been in meetings all day. But you have four assistants.”
“Yeah, I don't have four assistants. Everybody has a role to attend to the residents. The attorney did ask me earlier, and I did tell him, absolutely, that you could go home. We have excused your six sick absences. I'm sorry, you've missed the last two meetings.”
“You don't need to answer to me, Councilman. You answered to the residents of Doral.”
“And I think everybody can govern themselves accordingly. We appreciate your opinion and comments. If you have no other ones, we can move on. Otherwise, we'll...”
“We appreciate you being here. Is there any other comments or questions?”
“Motion to approve by Council Member Pinedo. Second. Second by Council Member Reynoso. No other comments, madam clerk, please call the roll.”
