Councilmember Boone, motion passed unanimously by voice vote.
Exited the dais at 2: 10 p.m. Returned at 2:56 p.m.
Council President Burrell called the meeting back to order; and announced
they were removing today's item from the City Council Agenda and we will not be
taking a vote. He said after much debate with our attorneys and looking at every
possible solution to move it forward, they came to this conclusion. Council Burrell
said the following, upon advice of Counsel, they think it is best to move the item from
the Agenda due too much of a gray area and not take too much chance with the Bid
Law. Council President Burrell apologized to the audience and asked for a motion to
adjourn the meeting.
Councilmember Boone moved to adjourn the meeting. Seconded by
Councilmember Conyers, motion passed unanimously by voice vote.
There being no further business to come before the City Council, the meeting
was duly adjourned at 2:58 p.m.
