So far the public knows more about what they tried to amend in (but did not accomplish) than it does about the TIF itself.<br /><br />Riding on Monday night's process and outcome is respect for this Council.Had Enough Indy?https://www.blogger.com/profile/09673791504434523246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1826828000189814347.post-52722436004499505882012-09-13T23:47:06.561-04:002012-09-13T23:47:06.561-04:00

In fact, that's the definition of tabling.<br /><br />I have to admit that's a pretty creative argument, but not even close. Clearly the rule does apply. Now whether the council chooses to ignore its rules is a different question.Paul K.

So while a tabled motion, upon which no action is taken, is removed from the calendar of pending proposals, there is nothing in the Council Rules or Robert's Rules of Order that requires removing Proposal 15 from the calendar of pending proposals. As you probably know, the Council rules provide that Robert's Rules govern when the Council Rules do not cover the situation. Bottom Line: The rule you are relying upon does not apply to Proposal 15.Lawyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06291002484272568785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1826828000189814347.post-2738596903441514462012-09-13T18:12:25.119-04:002012-09-13T18:12:25.119-04:00Good work, good news.Good work, good news.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
