Thank you, Madam 05/01/03 - STATED - 2ND READING AND FINAL PASSAGE President. Madam President, with regard to Bill 020076, Madam President, we know from the earlier vote on Resolution 020084 that those are companion bills to each other; it's a bill and a resolution. What I'm asking at the moment, Madam President, is if we could hold Bill 020076. And what I would ask is, because of a number of questions were raised by my colleagues, if I could subsequently make a motion to ask for a reconsideration of the vote on Resolution 020084 in order to allow that resolution to be placed back on the Calendar. And I understand that at that point I need to have further conversation with Councilmembers about some of the particulars of the redistricting resolution. So I make that motion for reconsideration of the vote on Resolution 020084 for the purpose of putting it back on the Calendar. (Duly seconded.)
It has been moved and seconded that Resolution 020084 be reconsidered and it be placed on the Calendar again. All in favor will say aye. (Aye.)
Those opposed? 05/01/03 - STATED - 2ND READING AND FINAL PASSAGE (No response.)
The ayes have it, and the motion carries. Councilman Nutter, it's your request then that both the resolution and the bill be held on the Calendar?
Yes, Madam President. Given the vote and the discussion with my colleagues, I am not asking for a vote on Resolution 020084. The previous motion was just for reconsideration of that vote in order to allow the resolution to be placed back on the Calendar available for subsequent action at another point in time, but not today.
