<br />prevention and awareness, not the Council voting for Brighton to do so. He <br />suggested changing the motion to fit the right form of government. <br /> <br />Mr. Price Called for the Question. <br /> <br />Mayor Welsch said the Question had been called. <br /> <br />Mr. Kraft called a Point of Order because he felt that Mr. Price asked for <br />something that was not legal. <br /> <br />Mr. Crow asked Mr. Price if he would be receptive to an amendment that would <br />not ask the City Manager but would direct the City Manager to have Brighton <br />work on a communication and marketing strategy. He said this would probably <br />be more appropriate and garner more support. <br /> <br />Mr. Price agreed. <br /> <br />Mr. Crow requested the City Clerk to amend the first part of the motion to read, <br />“Mr. Price moved to direct the City Manager to work with Brighton to develop a <br />communication and marketing strategy regarding crime prevention and <br />awareness including the police focus groups, police academy and community <br />forums. <br /> <br />Mr. Kraft stated as Point of Information that the Call for Question can happen, <br />but all should have the opportunity to weigh in on the subject at hand. He <br />stated that he liked the idea of Brighton working with the City regarding crime <br />prevention and awareness but expressed his concern with the additional <br />workload it would give to Brighton. <br /> <br />Mayor Welsch stated she would abstain from voting on this subject. She said <br />Council has directed Mr. Walker to work with Brighton and she would like to <br />hear from Mr. Walker regarding the details of what they are doing now and felt <br />there should not be a vote before discussing it with Mr. Walker. <br /> <br />Mr. Kraft stated for Point of Information for the City Clerk to repeat the motion <br />made to make sure of what they were voting on. The City Clerk repeated the <br />motion. <br /> <br />Mr. Price asked the City Manager if he understood the direction of the motion. <br /> <br />Mr. Walker said yes and that he would report to Council later on any budget <br />implications because Brighton has been asked to do a great deal of work over <br />the next several months. He also reminded Council that they did approve a <br />budget and this new request will probably have some budget implications <br />associated with it. <br /> <br />Mr. Price said that would be fine. <br /> <br /> <br />13 <br /> <br /> <br />
