Councilors, we have a new business item. Item 393-25, appointment of Jacqueline Marl, uninvol unenrolled voter to the board of registars. I'm going to be recommending and let me make sure I have the proper language
here. I'm going to be recommending for this committee to withdraw this uh this nomination. We did receive um email an email from attorney Michelle Tennisi who is the
attorney from the state um elections office stating that the law requires that the registars be appointed to represent the two leading political parties but allow for the clerk as a member to be unenrolled. The appointment
from the mayor should should be for a voter registered in a political party. She also provided a copy of the handbook from the state on this topic as well with the same information. Um, so that's the communications we received from
the the um the uh the state and um I don't think it's I don't think it's a surprise as we heard from public participation that this situation was uh brought up to the council previously regarding unenv unenrolled voter um
trying to be nominated or appointed to this board. Is there any questions or comments on this? >> Um, yes. Levy, >> uh, do we have the the information
because I don't see anything in here for the withdrawal. So, >> yeah. So, so yes. So, there it was recommended um, hold on, let me look up the email here. And I was asked about whether or not
um to to do the withdrawal here or or at the full council or just you know take it off and but because I don't know about you counselors but I have I did receive a few calls about this item and I wanted to make sure that uh well I
wanted to still have this meeting go through this process uh put on the record why we're having this meeting still and why um this this was still being with withdrawn. But hold on, just give me one second, counselor Levy, so I can I can look this
up for you. Okay. >> And I can >> maria I would recommended to send it to the forecast without no recommendation uh as a as a committee report without no recommendation and to finish everything
and send the information to everybody regarding the withdrawal on this matter. >> So I can tell you um the candidate the reason why the the candidate is not here is because she was informed as well. >> Okay. that this was going to be withdrawn for th for those purposes.
>> But well yes. Okay. But for the transparency and to follow the process just to send it to the full council and withdraw or complete it over there. >> Okay. So we can do that again. Um the the motion could be recommendation to
withdraw. We can ask the additional questions up there and then take it from there. >> Yes, please. >> Okay. Uh, can I have a motion to withdraw item to recommend to wish to withdraw item 393-25?
>> So move second. >> Motion has been made by councelor Levy, seconded by councelor Luzon. Um, any >> send it to the full council? >> Yep. >> Okay. >> Yeah, it has to all withdrawals have to go through the count to have to be sent up anyways. All right.
>> Um, any additional comments? Nope. >> Seeing none, all those in favor, I will call the role. Uh, councelor Levy, >> yes. >> Councelor Luzon, >> yes. >> And the chair votes in the affirmative. >> All right, counselors, that is all we
have. >> I'm sorry. Uh, don't forget to send the information to uh the council, councelor Wend and myself. >> Oh, yes. Yes. Yes. Do that now.
