Whereupon, ballots were distributed, tellers were appointed and the ballots were tallied; however, prior to announcing the vote the following discussion took place:

be helpful to the incoming, those who are ultimately appointed, and he thinks that it would be helpful to the public. He thinks that it certainly does help somewhat for it to be done after the vote, but what is lost by discussions after the vote is any impact that we might considerably have on each other by virtue of whatever concerns we have or don't have. But, he gathered that everybody else has voted, so if that is the case, he assumes that there is not any sentiment to do that.

Mayor Ticer stated that she does not think that it is not a collegial process. She stated that Council has had several public parts of the process at which time we discussed our hopes and aspirations for the schools and we asked specific questions of the different applicants which were indicative of what Council was looking for and what new actions Council hopes to see from the School Board. She viewed this as an extraordinary request because people have certain amount of personal interpretation about what other peoples' capabilities are. She stated she thinks it is inappropriate for Council in a public forum to start talking about individual people and pit one against the other. She stated she is not prepared to do that.

Councilwoman Pepper stated she has no problem stating why she voted for the people that she voted for, but she does not want in any way to embarrass those persons who did not receive her vote. She stated that would be a very unkind thing to do and that there would be fewer applicants in the future if Council were really to evaluate each candidate. She indicated that she has no problem stating why she voted for whom she voted for, but beyond that she would not wish to go.

Councilman Speck stated that he is going to take Council Member Rich's comments at face value that they are a sincere and genuine effort to try to put Council in a position that it is making the best appointments possible. He does not know whether a public discussion about why we voted specifically is helpful, but I think he points out that one of the problems that we face is because of the nature of an open governmental process there really is not an opportunity for Council to talk privately among themselves about what they are trying to do. We can do it one by one. That is a problem that occurs. It is the only situation, I think certainly that it doesn't exist in the legislature or Congress that you can't have more than two people gather to discuss how to approach an issue or how to make an appointment. I do not know whether this is the place to have further discussion, but I don't see anything wrong with Council discussing as a group what we are trying to accomplish in our appointments. I think the issue is somewhat moot right now, but I think it probably brings up some other things that we are going to talk about a little bit later concerning matters related to our relationship with the School Board and other specific issues. This is just one, but symptomatic, he thinks Council is having with its relationship with the School Board on some communications issues which are going to be surfacing later this evening.)

AT THIS POINT, Councilman Jackson requested that since he was not here earlier in this meeting because of his duties in the national rail strike, he moved reconsideraton of Docket Item No. 79. He stated that he understood that this issue was deadlocked on a 3-to-3 vote, and it is an important issue and it is an issue that probably the people would expect all seven Members of Council to cast a vote on. He stated that probably everything that has to be said on the issue has already been said. It really would be now the question of taking a vote.

POINT OF ORDER, was raised by Councilman Speck as to how someone who did not vote on this can move reconsideration? How does anybody vote if there is no prevailing side for reconsideration?

The City Attorney stated that he did not think that he can. He stated that this is a ruling that the Chair can make and if that ruling is subject to reversal by a majority vote, but he does not think that somebody who is not here in a tie vote, in his view, this time around that people on the prevailing side or the people who the three negative vote, but it was the people who cast a vote. He does not think that an absent person can come in and claim to be on the prevailing side. The City Attorney stated that that would be his ruling and that is subject to Council's overriding it.

Councilman Jackson stated that there was no prevailing side because the issue deadlocked 3-to-3 on a tie vote.

Council Member Rich stated for purposes of discussion, he seconded Councilman Jackson's motion to reconsider Docket Item No. 79.


51


The Mayor stated that the City Attorney has ruled that it was not possible for Councilman Jackson to have made it.

Council Member Rich stated that if the Mayor was going to rule consistent with the City Attorney's advice, which he assumed she was, he would move to appeal the ruling of the Chair.

The Mayor stated that she was going to rule according to the City Attorney's advice.

WHEREUPON, a motion was made by Council Member Rich, seconded by Councilman Jackson to appeal the ruling of the Chair; which motion FAILED on a vote of 3 "ayes" to 4 "noes". The voting was as follows:

Rich "aye" Cleveland "no"
Jackson "aye" Donley "no"
Ticer "no" Pepper "aye"
Speck "no"

REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE CITY MANAGER (continued)

80. Consideration of Changes to the Local Funding Agreement (LFA) between Alexandria and the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) for the Metrorail Construction Program. (Councilman Jackson; #30 6/9/92)
