Buckeye council tables agenda item 5C indefinitely

City of Buckeye Council members voted to table agenda item 5C indefinitely after a motion from Council member Hagestad.

Council member Hagestad moved “to table this item indefinitely,” and a colleague seconded the motion. The council then took a roll-call/machine vote and the motion passed; the clerk announced the motion passed following the vote.

Context and public comment rules: staff informed members of the public that because a motion was on the dais, speakers who had submitted cards for item 5C could address the tabling or continuance but not the substantive merits of the agenda item. Two people listed on speaker cards — Marcus Dawson and Maureen Wilson — were called and allowed to speak only about whether to continue the item, not the underlying subject.

Why this matters: tabling an item indefinitely removes it from the immediate agenda and requires future re-noticing to return the matter for consideration. Council members asked procedural questions about notices if the item returns to a future agenda.

Action status: motion to table 5C — moved by Council member Hagestad, second by not specified in the record — passed. No substantive discussion of the underlying item took place at this meeting because the continuance motion was decided first.
