REGULAR MEETING November 27, 2017 separate entirely, then we would have to fall under the existing enabling legislation that the State Legislators have adopted, am I correct? Mr. Mueller replied, That is correct. Council President Tim Scott asked, Do you want a vote on this tonight as it is written? Mr. Mueller replied, We would prefer a vote on this tonight, yes. Councilmember Karen White stated, As I was thinking about the process and the agreement, I was thinking that, if we had time to have that second time, then we should take it. However what I am hearing is the possibility of having that would be challenging for a number of reasons. What I am also thinking about is that, as we look at issues such as this,we should discuss Councilmember Broden's suggestions moving forward. Voting on this would give us the opportunity to get to the points Councilmember Broden is looking at. When we have these types of critical bills before us, I think it is really important to utilize our time to schedule special meetings on off Council meeting Mondays. Councilmember Jo M. Broden asked, So just to be clear,there is time within the scheduling of the County Council, the County Commissioners, this body, and our Mayor, to actually sign an amended Interlocal Agreement, if we chose to do so and had agreement from representatives from those bodies? Mr. Mueller replied, As I have said,technically, yes, practically,very little. Councilmember Jo M. Broden then asked, Where would this bill fall within the Committee structure of our standing committees? Council President Tim Scott replied, It would be in our Community Investment Committee. Council President Tim Scott then stated, I concur one hundred percent(100%) with Councilmember John Voorde. I think Historic Preservation will be a completely different entity after our vote tonight and it will grow. I think it will be for the better all the way around. Every conversation I have had with anyone on the County side did not want to have any part of it anymore. We can have follow up with this. We are getting into minutiae of how this will go forward. Councilmember Tim Scott then made a motion to send Bill No. 80-17 to the full Council with a favorable recommendation. Councilmember John Voorde seconded the motion which carried by a voice vote of nine (9) ayes. RISE AND REPORT Councilmember Tim Scott made a motion to rise and report to full Council.
