Madam Chair: Order everyone, we don't have a motion on the floor yet and we're veering off into <br /> debate here. Do I hear a second for Ron's motion? <br /> Ed: I'm with Ron, I don't trust them, and I think comic books are educational. I second the <br /> motion. <br /> Madam Chair: So moved! <br /> Susan: Wait a minute, what's the motion again ?? I'm not sure the secretary here got this down. <br /> Secretary Ellen and several members nod in agreement <br /> Madam Chair: Right, sorry about that. The motion is to purchase a $750 gift certificate to the <br /> book store for the Library to purchase books for the Back -to- School Fair. The motion is now on <br /> the floor and open for discussion. Ron, since you made the motion, we'll start with you. <br /> Ron: Well, like I said, I worry that if just give them a check, they'll buy all kinds of crazy stuff. <br /> The book store sells only books and that will ensure that only books get purchased with the money <br /> we're providing. <br /> Madam Chair: Thank you Ron. Linda, would you like to say something? <br /> Linda: I'm not sure about this gift certificate to just a book store. I'm thinking we should just <br /> give them a check so they can buy whatever they think they need. I think the Library's great and I <br /> don't think they'll buy candy. I would like move to amend the motion to just provide a check for <br /> $750 to the Library for the Back -to- School Fair. <br /> Paul: I move that we just go buy some books and give them to the fair. As members of the <br /> Literacy Commission, I think we know better than anyone what people should read! <br /> Madam Chair: Wait, Paul, I haven't recognized you yet, and besides there's already a motion and <br /> a motion to amend on the floor. All right, Linda has moved to amend the main motion to provide <br /> that this commission will give a check for $750 to the Library for the school fair, instead of a gift <br /> certificate to the book store. Second? <br /> David: I second that motion. <br /> Madam Chair: All right, it has been moved and seconded that the main motion be amended to <br /> read that a check for $750 will be provided to the Library for the Back -to- School Fair, instead of a <br /> gift certificate to the book store. The ranking motion at this time is Linda's motion to amend. <br /> Linda, you made the motion, so please begin. <br /> Linda: I don't have anything more to say, I just don't like the gift certificate idea. <br /> Paul shoots his hand up. <br /> Madam Chair: Yes, Paul, I recognize you. <br /> Page 5 of 7 <br />
