Council rejects late bid to add resolution to remove two Metropolitan Development commissioners

Councilor Brown moved to amend the council agenda to insert City Council Resolution 3042026, which he read aloud and described as invoking state code provisions to remove two Metropolitan Development commissioners.

"As such, Madam President, I move to amend the agenda to insert proposal number 3042026 for consideration under special orders final adoption," Councilor Brown said. The resolution text read in part: "Section 1 Greg West shall be removed as a metropolitan development commissioner. Section 2, Brandon Herget shall be removed as a Metropolitan Development Commissioner." The presiding officer explained that adding an item to the agenda would require 15 votes; the motion to add the resolution failed 4 to 20.

Councilors did not debate the substance of the removal during the meeting because the body did not adopt the agenda amendment. The president proceeded to other items, and the council handled routine appointments and budget measures later in the session.
