Valley Com. Agreement
(continued)
Proposed Resolution
Establishing a
system of Formal
Motions to record
actions of the
City Council
Mayor Van Dusen reported that if he is unable to attend the
Valley Com. Meeting his designee will be the Mayor Pro -Tem.
An Administrative Policy will be drawn up and distributed.
Council President Bauch said he has been concerned for some
time in tracking policy statements of the Council. The only
way to find them is to research the minutes. We need a
system to index these motions. His proposal is to recognize,
at the time of passage, that it is an item Council wants to
keep track of.
MOVED BY BAUCH, SECONDED BY DUFFIE, THAT THE PROPOSED
RESOLUTION BE READ BY TITLE ONLY. MOTION CARRIED.
City Attorney Haney read a resolution of the City of Tukwila
establishing a system of formal motions to record actions of
the City Council.
MOVED BY PHELPS, SECONDED BY SIMPSON, THAT THE PROPOSED
RESOLUTION BE ADOPTED AS READ.*
Councilman Bohrer offered two amendments to the Resolution.
First, "a log of Formal Motions is to be maintained which
shows the number and short title." It is essential that
Council knows what the status of the Resolution is, what the
disposition is.
MOVED BY BOHRER, SECONDED BY BAUCH, THAT, UNDER SECTION 2,
LAST PARAGRAPH, BE AMENDED TO READ: "A LOG OF FORMAL MOTIONS
IS TO BE MAINTAINED WHICH SHOWS THE NUMBER, SHORT TITLE AND
DISPOSITION OF ALL MOTIONS PASSED." MOTION CARRIED.
MOVED BY BOHRER, SECONDED BY MURGAN, THAT THE SIGNATURE BOX
PROVIDED FOR THE MAYOR OF THE CITY BE DELETED FROM THIS
RESOLUTION
Mayor Van Dusen said he prefers to sign the Resolution to
show that he knows about the Resolution and agrees with it.
Council President Bauch noted that a lot of the Council
Resolutions authorize the Mayor to do something and then the
Mayor signs them. This is the reason why the Council
President's signature is required by Ordinance #1311.
