Motions (City Council)
Speaker Nunziata advised Council that the provisions of Chapter 27, Council Procedures, require that Motion MM29.7 be referred to the Planning and Housing Committee. A two-thirds vote of the Council Members present is required to waive referral.
Councillor Perks, rising on a Point of Order, stated that Councillor Holiday has done something highly irregular, which is he asked a member of staff to define what is in and out of order, and it is not Mr. Knoeck’s job to do that; it is the Speaker’s.
Councillor Fletcher, rising on a Point of Order, stated Councillor Holyday’s question about what Council can request staff to include on a Committee of Adjustment application is not an appropriate question to ask the planning staff, but that is a question to the City Clerk on what members can bring forward.
Councillor Holyday, rising on a Point of Privilege, stated that the Chamber is out of order and that he can’t even get a question to the Speaker because he is being chirped from behind and from beside, as if the Members don’t want the answers.
