Councillor Carroll, on a Point of Order, stated that she believed it was the practice that when the vote has been taken on the item, it needs to be reopened and that City Council should vote on Councillor Grimes' motion to reopen the item.
Councillor Holyday, on a Point of Order, stated that he would like the Speaker to clarify her ruling on when Members could ask for recorded votes, and stated that he interpreted the Council Procedures as allowing Members to ask for a recorded vote immediately before or after a vote and that the previous request to take a recorded vote on motion 1 was essentially two-steps back, and that he would like clarity for Members of Council.
