[5) 2. ORDINANCE 92-2020-21 (First Reading) Approving a settlement of theRobinsons and/or Franklin Street Corporation (FSC) v. City State Court and Federal Court lawsuits Councilperson Butler]
WE ARE NOW READY FOR THE ONLY NEXT ITEM ON OUR AGENDA.MEMBERS I THINK MR. BAKER WANTED TO ADDRESS US BUT WE GOT TO GET THIS BEFORE US COUNCILPERSON BUTLER IS THE SPONSOR OF THE ORDINANCE 92 THAT HAS BEEN WITH US FOR A LITTLE WHILE. IT HAS SOME AGE ON IT.
I'M GOING TO READ IT, I'M GOING TO RECOGNIZE COUNCILPERSON BUTLER AND THEN WE WILL GET STARTED.
ORDINANCE 92-2020-21 FIRST READING APPROVING A SETTLEMENT OF THE ROBINSONS AND ART FRANKEL STREET CORPORATION VERSUS CITY STATE COURT AND FEDERAL COURT LAWSUITS.
COUNCILPERSON BUTLER, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
>> I MOTION TO PASS ORDINANCE 92-2020-21.
>> MOTION HAS MADE AND PROPERLY SECOND.
MR. BAKER. TURN YOUR MY GUN, IF YOU DON'T MIND.
>> SO, WE ARE GOING TO NEED UNFORTUNATELY TO PASS THIS, CONTINUE THIS ONE MORE TIME. POSTPONE IT.
MR. OLSON HAD SOME CHANGES HE SENT TO MR. MURPHY OUR OUTSIDE COUNSEL YESTERDAY. WE HAD MET, PREVIOUSLY WITH MR. OLSON AND HIS CLIENT ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO.
WE WENT OVER THE SETTLEMENT AND PROJECT AGREEMENTS THAT HAD BEEN SENT TO YOU LINE BY LINE AND WE HAD SETTLED ON THE LANGUAGE WE THOUGHT BUT YESTERDAY, MR. OLSON, WANTED TO SEEK SOME OTHER SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES AND I HAVE NOT HAD TIME TO READ AND STUDY THOSE YET. OR DISCUSS THEM WITH THE MAYOR.
AND I DON'T MR. MURPHY IS STUDYING THEM AND LOOKING AT THEM BUT WE ARE GOING TO NEED SOME MORE TIME TO COME BACK TO YOU. I DO BELIEVE WE ARE VERY CLOSE TO WRAPPING THIS UP. BUT WE ARE GOING TO NEED SOME MORE TIME TO WORK OUT PRECISE LANGUAGE.
AND I THINK THE PROPER WAY TO DO IT BEST, THIS COULD BE TAKE A WHILE TO DISCUSS AND GO OVER AND I THINK WE NEED TO GO OVER IT IN SOME DETAIL. I DON'T THINK IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO PUT IT ON A REGULAR SESSION AGENDA.
AT LEAST NOT FOR THE FIRST VOTE.
MAYBE THE SECOND TO VOTE. BUT BECAUSE WE ARE NOT SURE WHEN WE WILL BE ABLE TO WRAP UP THINGS, I AM GOING TO SUGGEST THAT SOMEONE SIMPLY MAKE A MOTION TO POSTPONE TO THE NEXT SPECIAL CALLED MEETING BY THE MAYOR PERTAINING TO THE ROBINSON LAWSUIT MATTERS. LAWSUITS.
THE MAYOR WILL CALL IT I BELIEVE, I DISCUSSED THE SITUATION WITH HIM AND IT WOULD BE HIS INTENT TO CALL IT WITHIN A DAY OR TWO OF US IF WE ARE ABLE TO OF HAVING AN AGREEMENT ON PRECISE LANGUAGE. I WOULD LESLIE SAY IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING BASED ON MEDICATION WITH MR. MURPHY THAT MR. OLSON HAS ALSO ASKED THAT THERE BE NO VOTE TONIGHT ON THIS MATTER.
>> I MOTION TO POSTPONE THIS TO A SPECIAL CALLED SESSION BY MAYOR PITTS.
>> MOTION HAS BEEN MADE TO POSTPONE TO A SPECIAL CALLED SESSION, COUNCILPERSON REDD DID YOU WISH TO ADDRESS IT? ANY DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION TO POSTPONE? ALL RIGHT, ARE YOU READY TO VOTE? ALL MEMBERS CAST YOUR VOTE. EVERY MEMBER VOTED ANYBODY WISH
[00:05:05]
