REQUEST TO SUSPEND COUNCIL RULES:
Request to Suspend the Rules to introduce and vote on two resolutions to take advantage of grant opportunities that have a submission deadline of next week. One grant is for Placita Park at 2nd and Hamilton and the other is for rehabilitation of the 'toy manufacturing' building at 10th Street.
I make a motion to suspend Council Rules, Rule IV Agenda, A. Submitting Agenda Items in regard to the eight-day submission rule, to introduce and vote on two resolutions this evening.
Motion needs a second; take comments from council, then ask for a vote. If the vote passes, ask the Clerk to Read R59. Ask the administration to explain the resolution, take comments from council and then ask the public for comments. Then ask the Clerk to take the vote. Do the same thing for R60.
RULE XVI - SUSPENSION OF RULES
These Rules may be suspended by a majority of the Members of Council present. The suspension of rules will not extend beyond adjournment. No Rule of Council which is also the subject of legislative enactment will be suspended.
RULE IV - AGENDA
A. Submitting Agenda Items: Any Resolution, Ordinance, or other agenda items, upon introduction by the Administration and, in the case of introduction by Council with the sponsorship of at least two (2) Members of Council or after consideration by Committee, will be considered by Council, if it is submitted in written form to the City Clerk's Office no later than 4:00 P.M., eight days, preceding the day of the Council meeting, except in the case of special meetings.
