“That was not the question. No, I asked the clerk to present the amendments to tonight's agenda. Then I asked if there was a motion after they were presented, if there was a motion to accept the agenda as amended. There was a motion and a second. Then Councilwoman Auerbach made a motion to continue, and that was seconded by Councilmember Gibson. So now I have two motions.”

“Okay. So the first motion on the table was to accept the agenda as amended. As the present... Okay, let me be clear. After the clerk presented the amendment to tonight's agenda and then asked for a motion to accept... that agenda as amended. I got a first and a second. And if I hear you correctly, City Attorney Drury, we need to dispose of the first, correct? Yes, ma'am. Okay. Let's call the question on the first.”

“Okay. Each council session, the clerk presents the amendments to the evening's agenda. Then after that, I asked for a motion to accept that amended agenda. Then I asked for a motion and a second, which we got. Then I got another motion come forward with a second to amend. So I've consulted the city attorney who said the first motion on the table has to be addressed. And that was the one to accept the amended agenda.”

“RIGHT. THE AMENDED AGENDA, THEY ARE ON FOR THIS EVENING ON THE AMENDED AGENDA. THOSE ITEMS ARE ALL ON FOR DISCUSSION.”

“That would take them off the table if we went to that motion. That would take them off of the agenda. Right, that's correct. They would get continued. But we have disposed of the first motion, which would then allow the opportunity for a public hearing on those papers this evening.”
