Regular City Council Meeting Monday,May 16,2011 Page 15 Roll Call(Original Motion as corrected) Ayes: McGehee; Johnson; and Willmus. Nays: Pust and Roe. Motion carried. Mayor Roe noted that a motion to publish a summary of the ordinance required a super-majority vote, based on statutory requirements. Johnson moved, McGehee seconded, enactment of Ordinance Summary No.1408 (Attachment C) for publication purposes entitled, "A Summary of an Ordinance Amending Title Three, Chapter 302.15 Civil Penalty Providing for Two Tier (Off Sale and On Sale) Suspension Penalties for Liquor License Violations." Councilmember Pust spoke in opposition to the motion based on the lack of a full community discussion, and her need that then the full ordinance should be pub- lished to make the public aware of the full content and action. Mayor Roe concurred, speaking in opposition to the motion to publish only a summary as well, noting that the full ordinance was not inordinately long. Public Comment John Kysylyczyn Mr. Kysylyczyn encouraged the City Council to vote for the motion for the public summary in an effort to save taxpayer monies; opining that the full ordinance would provide no additional public explanation; and suggested the actions be ex- plained in more detail in a future City newsletter or other means. City Attorney Gaughan At the request of Councilmember Willmus, City Attorney Gaughan advised that there was no legal requirement on how the publication was formatted, as long as the information passed was included. Councilmember Willmus noted that the City Council majority appeared to favor printing the entire ordinance. Roll Call Ayes: McGehee; Johnson; and Willmus. Nays: Pust and Roe. Motion failed (lacking the 4/5 super majority vote). Recess Mayor Roe recessed the meeting at approximately 8:18 p.m. and reconvened at approximately 8:22 p.m.
