“If there are no questions, we can take up a motion on the resolution. We have a motion and a second. Cast your votes. passes six to one, which is the necessary six affirmative votes required to incur indebtedness. It falls short of the seven affirmative votes necessary to waive competitive bidding. I think the desire by staff will be to rescind that vote and defer this to another agenda so we can obtain the necessary seven votes. So we'll need a motion to rescind the vote by which item L just passed.”

“Still got the results out there. All right, here we go. So this is a vote to rescind, a motion to cast a vote to rescind. We have a motion and a second. Cast your votes if you wish to vote in favor of rescinding the vote by which item L passed. So we did not get enough votes, which is necessary for the business at hand, and so the only way forward is to rescind the item and defer it to our next meeting, I guess, in two weeks, Greg, probably? Yes. How's it going? There we go, all right. The vote to rescind passes six to one. Now we are back on item L and I think staff would like to see us…”
