HomeMy WebLinkAboutAgenda CC 08.08.2011Agenda for Council Meeting Topic: Redistricting August 8, 2011 1. Welcome to everyone. We are going to follow a tight agenda process this evening. Before I start with the actual agenda I wish to share some information and perceptions with Council. 2. We have been spinning our wheels for weeks fussing about how best to redistrict. Thus far we have spent a considerable amount of money for legal fees and the clock is still clicking. 3. Tonight I am hoping that council will reach a decision on how best to redistrict our city. Let's agree to spend what ever amount of time is necessary to achieve this goal. 4. We will be polite and courteous in all of our interactions. We will focus on what is best for our city recognizing this is a subjective issue with differing points of view. There will be no room for personal conflicts. Our City ordinance Sec.2.24.150 states "The Mayor and Council members shall treat each other with dignity, respect and civility". 5. I wish to remind Council that every word we say, every facial expression we make is being recorded for perpetuity. I did review our last meeting and I wondered how individuals who might be considering our city as a location for investment would react to our demeanor? 1 6. what kind of image do we want for our city? Do we want to be perceived as a dysfunctional body? I would hope not. However I do not think that our last meeting was a shinning example of quality government in action. 7. If we are really interested in helping make Georgetown a City of excellence we should lead the way in a most positive manner. Personal issues should have no place at the Dias. We are the elected officials for this city and our behavior should demonstrate maturity of judgement, quality, caring, transparency, and above all honesty. S. I respectfully remind Council that the City Charter and the City Ordinances delegates to the Mayor the responsibility of chairing all meetings of the Council. It further states that no Council member shall speak unless recognized by the chair. They further state that no council member shall interrupt another council member. Before a council member who has just spoken is recognized again all other members of the council shall be given the right to speak. In most cases statements by Council members shall be statements of personal perceptions not questions directed to other council members. Questions directed to other council members may have a place but they must flow through the chair. 2 9. In summary please remember that Ordinance Sec.2.24.140 states that during Council meetings, Council members shall preserve order and decorum and shall, neither by conversation or otherwise, delay or interrupt the proceedings nor refuse to obey the orders of the Mayor or presiding officer or the rules of the Council 10. Now the agenda for this evening First we will have Mr. Caputo present each of the 10 possible redistricting maps in a summary form. The number of the Map will be our identification key. Each Council member will record on a piece of paper which has been provided by staff one of three following scores for each Map. Please use a numeric score of 1, 2, or 3 for every plan presented by Mr. Caputo. Each plan should have a score listed by each council person. • One, I like this plan and this should be listed for further consideration • Two, this map might still be one for further consideration but currently this not appear to be our best option • Three, this map is not one that I believe is deserving of further consideration 11. At the conclusion of the presentation by Mr. Caputo Council will discuss the presented maps and tabulate the scores recorded by each council member. It is hoped that the scoring yields two or three possibilities for a category one consideration. 12. Once council has identified two or three promising possibilities the public hearing will take place. As in the past Council will listen to the presenters but not engage any person during or after their presentation. 13. After the public hearing has taken place council will discuss the two or three final possibilities and then offer a motion or motions until a final decision has been made by council. 14. The final plan selected by council will need to become an ordinance and as such there must be two readings of the action council is considering at two separate future meetings, with the public again being given the right to offer their observations.
