I make this point of order prior to a "second" on a motion to approve this proposed agenda which I believe would include an item (#4) whose return violated the Rules of Procedure and is therefore "Out of Order". I call on you, Mr. Mayor, as the Presiding Officer to rule the motion and subsequent vote to reconsider "Out of Order". The Authority to do so rests with you, Mr. Mayor. Mr. Mayor, I ask to be allowed to explain the specific grounds for ruling the motion and vote "Out of Order". 1.) The motion to RECONSIDER is a parliamentary procedure and is contained in our Code of Ordinances as such. It is one of the laws of the City of Waterloo, State of Iowa. ( Title 1, Chapter 4 — 3F). The motion to RECONSIDER was used last week, July 30, 2018. 2.) That in our Code of Ordinances, Title 1, Chapter 4 — 3H speaks to further use of parliamentary rules by saying: " In all cases not provided for herein, the usual parliamentary rules which govern parliamentary bodies shall govern the city council where they are applicable." 3.) That the motion to RECONSIDER is within Robert's Rules of Order which is the standard for parliamentary rules of procedure used by deliberative bodies within the United States. 4.) That all elected City of Waterloo officials took an Oath of Office including to uphold the Constitution of the United States and the laws of the State of Iowa, which includes Waterloo's laws (Code of Ordinances). Therefore, each of us as elected officials are to abide by our Code of Ordinances. Not doing so violates our Code and our Oath of Office. 5.) Robert's Rules speaks to Timeliness of a Point of Order by saying that " The only exceptions to the rule that a point of order must be made at the time of the breach arise in connection with the breaches that are of a continuing nature, in which case a point of order can be made at any time during the continuance of the breach. (e.g. in this case prior to adoption of the proposed agenda for August 6, 2018 — today.) Instances of this kind occur when a motion is in violation of law... rules of the organization, or the fundamental principles of parliamentary law, so that the action proposed by the motion would be null and void even if the motion were adopted. In such cases, it is never too late to raise a point of order." Also, "No main motion (a motion to RECONSIDER) is in order which conflicts with national, state or local law(s) or rules of the" organization applicable. 6.) The purpose of a motion to RECONSIDER is: "to permit correction of a hasty, ill-advised or erroneous action or to take into account added information or a changed situation that has developed since the taking of the vote" Point A.) The July 16, 2018 vote was not hasty as Council had already voted on 2 previous occasions approving the 28E Agreement with HCC on 8-21-2017 and the Project Addendum to the Agreement on 10-16-17 (identifying the Newell Streets lots, to set costs and set design), which was then approved on July 16, 2018 on a 5-2 affirmative vote of Council. Point B.) On July 16, 2018 the Project design and cost "Not to Exceed" estimates were presented both in a Work session and in Handouts which all Council had available before the vote at Regular Council Meeting that day where discussion was open to all council prior to the affirmative vote. The mover of the 7-30-18 motion to reconsider had no question but access to the same information as all Council. Point C.) The action was neither ill advised nor erroneous given the time (over 1 year), the discussion, work sessions, attorneys for both entities involvement and the prior Council -approved actions moving this project's subsequent planned actions. These signed by the Mayor and HCC Board. Point D.) There is no additional information or changed situation. What has happened though is that the Project has progressed since the 8-21-17 vote with more time, money and planning invested by HCC with whom we have the Agreement. 7.) To use the motion to RECONSIDER the deliberative body using this parliamentary procedure is bound by the guidelines for such use. Stepping outside those bounds is violating our Code of Ordinances — our City Laws and would require a change in Code language, which has not occurred. Robert's Rules of Order refers to the Standard Descriptive Characteristics of a motion to reconsider saying: the motion to reconsider may be applied to the vote EXCEPT (and there are 6): "b.) Is an affirmative vote whose provisions have been partly carried out;" [28E- Agreement with HCC and City of Waterloo; Project Addendum; 10-24-17 HCC board of HCC Trustees Review and Approval of the Newell Street Housing Project with the City of Waterloo; information requested and received by this Councilperson from HCC outlining purchases by HCC totaling $81,100 towards this project and 290 hours of invested time; that the amounts sought and received since the affirmative vote of 7- 30-2018 is well over $10,000. AND the other applicable exception is: "c.) An affirmative vote inn the nature of a contract when the party to the contract has been notified of the outcome." [HCC, the party to the contract was there on July 16, 2018 was there when the Council approved item #13 on that agenda, therefore was notified directly and took additional action. Based on these facts, documents and the information presented, the motion and vote to reconsider Item #13 on the July 16, 2018 Agenda is Out of Order (and even Null & Void) and I ask you, Mr. Mayor, to so Rule it Out of Order. Thank you and Council for your time.
