<br />Ms. Carr asked for a Point of Information; asking Ms. Pumm if the vote to call a question a <br />two-thirds vote? Mayor Welsch stated that that was correct. Mr. Sharpe seconded the call <br />for the question. <br /> <br />Mayor Welsch asked the City Clerk to call the roll and noted that for the question to be <br />called five members of Council would have to decide to stop discussions on the motion, <br />which is the motion to support Resolution 2013-17. <br /> <br />Roll Call vote was: <br />AYES: <br /> Mr. Glickert, Mr. Sharpe, Mr. Kraft and Mayor Welsch. <br />NAYS: <br /> Mr. Crow, Mr. Price and Ms. Carr. <br /> <br />To call the question failed. <br /> <br />Mr. Price asked Mr. Crow if he could repeat his recommended amendment for paragraph <br />number eight. <br /> <br />Mr. Crow stated that the current language in the resolution stated, “Be it further resolved <br />that the City Council of University City recognizes that its adoption of the Bicycle and <br />Pedestrian Master Plan does not immediately commit city funds towards project <br />implementation”. The motion that failed stated, “Be it further resolved that the City Council <br />of University City recognizes that its receipt of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan does <br />not commit city funds towards project implementation” <br /> <br />Ms. Carr asked if she could make an amendment and Mayor Welsch concurred with her <br />request. Ms. Carr stated that her amendment is to remove, “Now therefore resolved, be it <br />further resolved and be it further resolved,” all three, and to substitute the first one with <br />“Now therefore be it resolved that the Revised Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan attached <br />as Exhibit A, is accepted for consideration of modifications to the 2005 Comprehensive <br />Plan which are to be determined by the City Council of University City, Missouri.” The <br />second amendment was, “Be it further resolved that the City Council of University City <br />recognizes that its acceptance of the Revised Draft Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan <br />does not commit any funds towards project implementation and is not authorizing any <br />activity in private subdivisions”. The third amendment should read, “Be it further resolved <br />that the City Council of University City directs the City Manager to develop a priority and <br />feasibility list of Bike/Walk Projects, including accessible sidewalks for Council approval and <br />implementation”. <br /> <br />Mr. Kraft stated that part of the motion was out of order because it repeated something that <br />has already been done. Ms. Carr stated she disagreed. Mr. Kraft advised Ms. Carr that <br />she could disagree, but the fact was he would like to add the part about the prioritization <br />and vote on that, and then we could vote on the whole thing. So the prioritization he had no <br />problem with, or we can just keep doing amendments all night. <br /> <br />Mr. Crow seconded the motion presented by Ms. Carr. <br /> <br />Mayor Welsch asked if there were any further discussions before taking the vote and <br />hearing none, she stated that she would go with the majority on this motion, although she is <br />not in favor of the amendments. She said the wording of this amendment displayed what <br />she would consider a distrust of our system of government and of our current staff. Mayor <br />Welsch said it did not benefit the resolution and thought the resolution as it stood was fine <br />and these amendments were not needed. Mayor Welsch further stated that her wish was <br />that Council would vote on the resolution that is on the floor and if they are unhappy with it, <br />then vote against it. <br /> <br />24 <br /> <br /> <br />
