The minutes have been considered by the City Council at several meetings: October 24, 2005 and November 14, 2005 — The minutes were removed from the Council meeting agenda; no discussion is noted; November 22, 2005 — The minutes are discussed at a work session with Council Member Carlson indicating that she would be requesting a correction to the minutes at the next Council meeting; Staff was directed to provide the proposed correction with the minutes at the upcoming meeting; December 12, 2005 - The minutes are considered at the Council meeting (in the packet, the Council receives the minutes including the proposed correction); a motion to approve the minutes, as corrected, loses on a 2 -3 vote. There is no action taken to approve the minutes without the correction; January 9, 2006 — The minutes are referred to the next work session/Council meeting for further discussion; January 23, 2006 — Council Carlson brings forward a draft of the minutes that includes in the text the proposed correction; the Council directs staff to bring forward the original minutes for consideration at the next meeting. Based on the Council's previous vote to not approve the correction to the minutes, it is not appropriate under Roberts Rules of Order to again consider the correction. A motion to reconsider is allowed on the same day (or the next day) and then only by a member who voted on the prevailing side. The minutes, in their original draft form, remain before the Council for consideration.
