the mayor being called last, call for a roll call vote. In all cases, the member
making the motion, the member seconding the motion and the vote of the
members thereon shall be entered in the minutes of the council. Every council
member abstaining from voting on a motion or being silent to same shall be
recorded as having cast a negative vote on such matter.
2. If no member offers a motion on an agenda item, the mayor shall
again call for a. motion. If no motion is presented after the second calling, the
mayor shall declare the item fails for lack of motion. Similarly, if no one seconds
another member's motion, the mayor shall, after calling twice therefore, declare
that the motion fails for lack of a second.
3. Upon a motion having been offered and seconded, the mayor shall
call for a vote.
4. Any time prior to the mayor's calling for vote of the council, a
member may move to amend the motion, which shall require a second. An
amendment must be germane to the main motion and be accepted by the
member making the main motion and the member seconding same, if applicable.
3

city council may be placed on the agenda as a new item of business only under

before the item again appears on the agenda;
2. When a motion to reintroduce the item is approved by a majority
vote of the council within six (6) months of the council's original vote on the item. A
motion to reintroduce may be placed on the same agenda as the item proposed
for reintroduction. No item shall be proposed for reintroduction to the council more
than two (2) times in a six (6) month period following the council's original vote on
the item.
3. Annually, when council members have been sworn into office and

SUBJECT: Ordinance 1059 Amending Section 2-411, Rules of Debate.
DATE: August 28, 2015
BACKGROUND:
Pursuant to a request by Councilor Bonebrake, staff began exploring options to amend Section
2 -41 1(H) of the Owasso Code of Ordinances several months ago. This provision currently states
that an item previously decided by the City Council can only be placed on the agenda as a
new item of business in the following situations:
1. When the vote by the City Council occurred at least six (6) months prior to the new
item again appearing on the agenda, or,
2. Annually, when Council members have been sworn into office and the item was
voted on by the previous council, or,
3. The item pertains to the initiation, prosecution, defense or settlement of litigation
brought by or against the City, its employees or agencies.
Both Councilor Bonebrake and staff desired to draft and propose an amendment to Section 2-
41 1(H) giving the Council additional flexibility to reintroduce and consider a new item of business
even if it does not satisfy the above criteria. A specific and primary concern in drafting the
proposed amendment was establishment of a method by which the Council may consider a
new item of business when it is necessary or desirable to do so without compromising the ability
to protect the agenda from flagrant abuses of process.
Ordinance No. 1059 creates an additional exception in Section 2 -411 (H) that allows an item
previously voted upon within a six (6) month period to be reintroduced to the Council if a motion
to reintroduce is approved by a simple majority of councilors present. The proposed
amendment additionally states that no item shall be proposed for reintroduction to the Council
more than two (2) times in a six (6) month period following the Council's original vote on the
item. A motion to reintroduce may be placed on the some agenda as the item proposed for
reintroduction as a new item of business.
This item was previously discussed by the Council at the July and August work sessions, and is
now recommended for approval.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of Ordinance 1059.
