Councilmember McGovern said she would have a very difficult time approving the rezoning without those safeguards in place. Councilmember Sullivan asked if it would be feasible to do as Mr. Fialho recommended but to also continue this item until that language has returned at the next meeting. Acknowledging the time constraints, he suggested the Council could schedule a special meeting for the second reading of the ordinance. Mr. Roush confirmed the feasibility but advised that there are requirements surrounding a sufficient amount of time between the introduction of an ordinance and its second reading. He also advised the Council to consider the timing that Mr. Brown has with respect to submitting the brief by November 15. Vice -Mayor Cook Kallio said she did not understand the difference between that suggestion and approving the ordinance today, with the second reading on November 3. She had not necessarily expected that the safeguard policies would be ready for presentation to the Council at its next meeting. She explained that such a thing takes considerable time, especially if done well. Mayor Hosterman concurred and said that the most important issue is to get the task force moving forward. Councilmember McGovern disagreed that growth management and infrastructure issues could be that complicated. She needs assurance that she has protected the community's quality of life as she promised she would. She said that she cannot rezone three pieces of property without that assurance. Mayor Hosterman inquired about Council support for a substitute motion. Councilmember Sullivan said that with Council support, he would propose the adoption of staff recommendation with the addition of Item 2, as recommended by Mr. Bursley, and the inclusion of additional neighborhoods, two Councilmembers, and two Planning Commissioners on the task force. Vice -Mayor Cook Kallio asked how that substantively differs from the initial motion. Councilmember Thorne echoed that question. Councilmember Sullivan said that his motion provides assurances on the structure of the task force and its right to vote on any recommendation that comes before the City Council. Vice -Mayor Cook Kallio said that was her intent. Councilmember Thorne concurred. Councilmember Sullivan asked if they would support that language. Vice -Mayor Cook Kallio reiterated that she would staff to review the language, ensuring that it meets all legal requirements. She said that the concept and intent are the same, that she would like all stakeholders present and able to vote, but that she is uncomfortable with the specific language. Mayor Hosterman concurred.
