8 of 14
Those voting No being Cr. Bryson.
The motion died 2-1 due to lack of three votes for or against.
0:59:21 Mayor Jacobson
Mayor Jacobson said that she thought the recused Commissioners would be needed to vote on
this item.
0:59:26 Greg Sullivan, City Attorney
Mr. Sullivan explained that the adopted rules of procedure require that official adoption of any
item requires the affirmative vote of three members of the Commission. This would have to
come back up for consideration through one of the Commissioners who is not present and they
would have to recognize the conflict, file a disclosure on the conflict and they could act pursuant
to state law which authorizes members of governing bodies to act if their presence is necessary to
obtain a quorum. It does not mandate them to act, but provides authority for them to do so.
1:00:48 Mayor Jacobson
Mayor Jacobson clarified with Mr. Sullivan that this cannot be acted upon tonight.
1:01:22 Cr. Becker
Cr. Becker disagreed with the interpretation that anything needs three votes to be approved or
rejected, and feels that in the case of a tie the Commissioner has an obligation to vote. In the
past, in cases of ties, Commissioners have been asked to break the tie that evening.
1:02:19 Mr. Sullivan
Mr. Sullivan explained that the Ordinance regarding rules of procedure says the affirmative vote
of three Commissioners shall be necessary to adopt any motion. He said that as far as requiring
Commissioners who have raised a conflict to vote, the statute is 2-2-120.10. He explained how
this statute does not mandate that they participate, however you can ask them to participate and
bring this item back up. He also explained how this item could be brought back and the details
on how it could be acted upon.
1:05:45 Cr. Bryson moved to re-consider.
1:05:49 Mr. Sullivan
Mr. Sullivan explained that a disclosure would still need to be made by recused Commissioners
in writing to the commission of political practices before either recused Commissioner could
vote if they so chose.
1:06:52 Cr. Becker
Cr. Becker said that Cr. Bryson's motion to reconsider does not need to be seconded which
would call the same question again.
1:07:31 Mr. Sullivan
Mr. Sullivan said that the motion would need to be made, seconded and acted upon.

Commissioners with conflicts to disclose a chance to file a notice of conflict with the office of
political practice and asking them if they would be willing to participate in this discussion.
1:09:27 Mr. Sullivan
Mr. Sullivan explained they could call a special session of the Commission with 48 hours notice.
1:09:54 Motion to continue (this item) to Thursday November 12th policy meeting.

1:10:45 Mr. Sullivan
