25 <br /> Laura Jensen said the County Manager's Office was not certain, but notices of the <br /> calendar have not been done for at least 10-15 years. <br /> Roll call ensued <br /> VOTE: Ayes, 6; Nays, 1 (McKee) <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Greene, seconded by Commissioner Bedford, to <br /> amend rule 19(b)13 to read, "the motion to reconsider a previous action may be in order at the <br /> same meeting at which the action was taken, or at a subsequent meeting. For certain types of <br /> actions, the Board is limited in its ability to reconsider without following additional procedural <br /> steps. For example, an ordinance amended or a permit issued following notice and hearing <br /> requirements proscribed by ordinance or law cannot be modified without following procedures <br /> similar to those followed in the initial consideration. Where a motion to reconsider is in order, it <br /> must be made by a Board member who voted with the prevailing side on the action to be <br /> reconsidered. Such a motion requires a second and the seconder may be any member of the <br /> Board. When such a motion is made and seconded and stated by the chair, the question is, <br /> "Shall the Board reconsider its action on the matter to which the motion is addressed?" If such a <br /> motion fails, the matter is not reopened or reconsidered. If adopted, the motion is again on the <br /> floor for consideration, discussion and action." <br /> John Roberts asked if all the current language is being eliminated or just the first <br /> paragraph. He said it is on page 101 of the packet. <br /> Commissioner Bedford said it is page 23 of this item. <br /> Chair Price said there is something to prevent reconsideration for 6 months. <br /> Commissioner Greene said it may be best to consider this at another meeting, once the <br /> language is fully worked out. <br /> Commissioner Greene withdrew her motion. <br /> Commissioner Bedford agreed. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Bedford, seconded by Commissioner McKee, to <br /> accept the rules of procedure as amended. <br /> Roll call ensued. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Hamilton, seconded by Commissioner Bedford, to <br /> take a four-minute recess. <br /> Roll call ensued <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner McKee, seconded by Commissioner Bedford, to <br /> reconvene the meeting at 9:04 p.m. <br /> Roll call ensued <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />
