the matter will be up for next week. Megan L. Marshall said if questions are
acceptable now, she is fine with that. The purpose of the hold is to have the
appropriate amount of time to answer those questions. DaRon McGee said
the ordinance will be held this week and give members additional time to
ask their questions next week. Jeanie Lauer asked if the Legislature would
have that discussion as a hearing. Mr. McGee responded yes. Jeanie Lauer
said, so the representatives will be invited back next week under Item 4.
Hearings? Mr. McGee said that is correct. Caleb Clifford said the
representatives have taken off work this week and it may not be feasible to
have everyone back next week to fully respond to questions. Charlie
Franklin, County Legislator, asked Jay Haden, Chief Deputy County
Counselor, what is needed to have the discussion now. Mr. Haden said a
vote on the motion to hold is required. The motion passed by a roll call vote:
Yes: 5 -
DaRon McGee, Megan L. Marshall, Donna Peyton, Manuel Abarca
IV and Venessa Huskey
No: 4 - Jalen Anderson, Charlie Franklin, Jeanie Lauer and Sean E. Smith
(APPROVED)
