I Agenda Statement Meeting Date: May 12, 2003 From: Jean Lewis, City Clerk Agenda Item: Request for Reconsideration on Resolution 2003-32, Harbor Area Planning and Development Guide. BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION: Council Member Nathan Orr lodged his intent, in writing, the evening of the April 28, 2003 City council meeting, to reconsider Resolution 2003-32. Council Member Orr voted on the prevailing side, filed his notice of reconsideration within the time allowed, therefore this motion is in order. Per Roberts Rules of Order, a motion for reconsideration must be seconded and is debatable under this circumstance. In order to debate Resolution 2003-32 again, Council would have to support the actual request for reconsideration with a second and a 2/3 vote. (Our code, not Roberts dictates a 2/3 vote for reconsider motions.) If the motion to reconsider is approved by a 2/3 vote, the main motion will be back on the floor. It can be amended. If approved again it takes effect from the time the original vote was taken April 28. If not, it fails. If all Council members are present, it will take five votes for this resolution to be reconsidered. Four votes if one person is absent from the meeting. It is 2/3 of the members voting.
