The following Councilmembers were present: Bruce Battaglia, Allen Friedman,

Development.
Councilmember Battaglia asked if the Council could act to decide whether
six votes or four votes are required in order to authorize the issuance
of bonds by the Economic Development Authority.
The City Attorney said the presiding officer judges the germaneness of an
issue, but if he has doubts he can refer the issue to the assembly.
It was moved by Councilmember Mitchell , seconded by Councilmember Battaglia,
that a vote of a simple majority be sufficient.
In Councilmember Meland's 16 years of experience on the Council , it was
the first time he could recall the Council interpreting a provision of
the Charter; thus, it is a precedent setting vote.
The motion passed 6-0.
