A resolution amending the Denver City Council Rules of Procedure. Amends the City Council Rules of Procedure to state that upon the seating of a new Council, the Council must meet to discuss changes to the Rules of Procedure. Councilwoman CdeBaca approved direct filing this item on 2-20-20.
Two nays. Tonight's Resolution 186 has been referred to committee. All right, Madam Secretary, please put the next item on our screens. And, Councilmember Hines, if you please, put Resolution 187 on the floor. Yes, Mr. President. I move the council resolution 20, dash 187, be adopted. Thank you, Councilmember. It has been moved and seconded comments by members of Council. Council Member CdeBaca. Thank you, Mr. President. Again, to reiterate what was said earlier, this final addition was really to get at the spirit of what group agreements are all about and make sure that when a new body comes in or new members are added to the body, we have a timeline where we can sit down and have a discussion about these in a holistic fashion so that you're not hearing these kinds of amendments in this format. I think that this is important to the future and the changing of the body and would hope that you all support it tonight. This is one I hope doesn't need too much conversation, but I've been wrong before. Thank you. Thank you. Councilmember Councilmember Sandoval. Thank you, Mr. President. So, Councilman CdeBaca, who would it be? Would it be the president who does it or would it be the council secretary? Can you just talk sorry to Brigette Wonky. Can you talk to me about process, what this looks like? Who keeps that 90 day stopwatch? It would be the 90 days is to give us a timeline, but less formal than a stop clock on a contract. It's Hey, you have a new body. Within three months, we should probably sit down and have some kind of group orientation about how we want to engage with each other in a respectful way. So I imagine this could pop up in maybe our second operations committee as a group, seeing as how that's an ongoing meeting and a place where these were originally discussed, it would make sense to revisit that. Councilmember Flynn. Thanks, Mr. President. I move that we re re refer 20 dash 187 to committee to actually refer and not refer because this never this is the first we're seeing it and this is not how generally we should be amending things. I first saw this on Friday and I have no idea what the thinking behind it is. There needs to be a more robust discussion as a as a group and not here on the floor, because this is our weekly legislative meeting. I don't know if this is a good idea or not. I have I've had some discussions with a few members. How would this work? Some positive. Some negative. But there's been absolutely no discussion of this at all until this moment. And so I think this needs to be referred to committee. Thank you. Thank you. Make that motion. Thank you, Councilmember. It has been moved and seconded on the motion to re refer to committee, so we will now take comments and questions on the referral. Councilmember Gilmer. Thank you. President Clerk I would like to I would be supportive of re referring this to committee. It's not that I disagree that after 90 days a new body would schedule a meeting and start talking about the the rules of council. But I would like to also look at an annual review of the rules of council as well were kind of piece mealing things back and forth. And you know, once we see the new council, I don't want that 90 days to pass and then we don't ever revisit it again because things change. And so that's the reason I would like to re refer it back to committee so that we can have a further discussion about what that might look like and allow us to also review them on an annual basis as well. Thank you, President. Clerk Thank you, Councilmember. Councilmember Hines. Thank you, Mr. President, because this is relatively new for all of us. I'd be curious about scheduling too. I know for the first 30 days we were worried about when when I took office, we were worried about desks, computers, phones. And then the next 30 days we were in speed dating with the various mayoral agencies and then the budget. And so I I'm certainly interested in making sure that we make sure that our process is sound. I just haven't had an opportunity to look at 90 days. And when I first took office and other new council people will have the same or similar issues when they take office. So just throwing that out there as well. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you, Councilmember. All right. So nobody else in line. I think, you know, it's clear from the conversation that there are lots of questions and worthy of a conversation and a debate. And I think that that's appropriate to start in committee instead of here. So I will also be supportive of re referral. Madam Secretary, call. Flynn I black eye. CdeBaca No. Gillmor I. Heard it.
