Council President : This is a Special Council meeting to act on the initiative ordinance. To begin, we are going to follow the same format as the last meeting. The speakers can take no more than 45 minutes to provide testimony, we suggest they follow the same style and format the petitioners followed in their presentation. We thank them again for their presentation. The initiative ordinance is before us this evening for final action - Council has until June 19th to act. We plan to have a vote on the initiative ordinance. If a majority of council - four or more - votes for the proposal, it is approved, it is not subject to a mayor's veto. If the bill fails, the Clerk will forward the bill to the County to be placed on the November ballot to be decided by the voters. Accordingly, we will follow the same procedures pursuant to the charter and our rules prior to the vote. After the initial testimony is complete, we will take public comment. Please come to the podium, state you name and address, and address your comments to city council. We will place reasonable time limits on the comments. After Public Comment, City Council can make comments pursuant to Council Rules. The Clerk will then take the vote. Testimony A/C James Gress Sgt. Iobst APD CNT Assistant Commander Thomas Cunningham
