on. As you all know, you heard lots of testimony about how this is part of the cost that we see at our various waste streams, because the bags jam the machines at our recycling facility at Waste Management, that that are bad facility, that waste management runs, they have to hire someone to pick up the plastic bags. I mean, I could go on and on. But basically what we're doing is postponing this for a year to allow that process to take place that will incorporate bags into part of that conversation and ensure that we have some concrete effort that comes out of that overall process dealing with plastic bags and hopefully plastic bag reduction and encouraging the use of reusable bags. Okay. Just to let everybody know, we have we have a first of a motion to take it out of order and then we are going to have a motion to amend. And Councilwoman Ortega is going to give the particulars to the amendment. And then we are going to have a motion to order it published as amended. So we have three motions that we are going to go through. The first one is to take it out of order. Mr. Secretary, roll call. Ortega. I. Rob Shepherd, i. Brooks, i. Brown. No. I. Herndon. I can teach my layman. Lopez, I. Montero I. Never i. And I'm president. I mean, we're waiting for Brown, Montero and Ortega to vote. Montero just loaded. Okay? It's just not showing up there. All right. You got her vote, though. It hasn't. It hasn't gone in. I don't know. She verbally said. I. Okay. All right, Mr. Secretary, close the voting, announce the results of those. One day. 12 eyes one. Nay, it is passed that we take this out of order now. Councilman Ortega, we need your motion to Madam President. Now I move to amend Council Bill 13 five one the following particulars on page six strike lines 26 to 28 and insert the following sections 48 through 128 effective dates. The provision of this ordinance shall be effective April 22nd, 2015, which happens to be Earth Day. The manager shall develop and implement the administrative and financial process for collection of the fee between the effective date of this ordinance and April 22nd, 2015. On page eight, lines 21, 23 and 27, strike 2013, insert 2015. Okay. It has been moved and seconded. Sorry, I just said oh, okay. It's been moved and seconded. Comments by Council Councilman Rob. Can I explain this before we go into. Oh, sure. Okay. I'm sorry that you had to. So the amendment changes the effective date of Council Bill 451. The implementation due to the proposed one year postponement of the Council's final consideration of the proposed ordinance. As you know, the current ordinance had Earth Day 2014 in it, and this changes the effective date to 2015. So all we're doing is changing the date in the ordinance to be to reflect the 2015 date.
