MOTIONNOTE Motion/second by CM Hutton/Mayor Gaytan to call for the question. [No vote taken.] Mayor Gaytan recognizedCM Sanders and CM Chastain who had punched the request to speak button prior to the motion calling for the question. After discussion, the Primary motion to approve Jack's Disposal's request to extend its permit for the collection, removal, recycling and disposal of solid waste, Resolution No. R-89-98, failed with Mayor Gaytan and CM Hutton voting "Yes." CM Bennett was absent. Upon request, Mayor Gaytan directed the City Manager and the City Attorney to move forward expeditiously and iron out the problems regarding MERF, namely, specific terms, specific conditions on a procedural basis and on how things are going to occur. On request for clarification of the vote, City Attorney Carvalho stated that since the motion failed the status quo would prevail. It was her opinion that the City would revert to its position in June of 1996, when the former City Attorney issued a letter of intent to terminate the permit. She offered to work with the City Manager to formulate the documents in a way that was consistent with the permit and the contract and the information would be brought back to Council. RECESS: At 7:14 P. M., the Mayor declared a recess and at 7:33 P. M., the meeting was reconvened with all Members present.
