ALAMEDA: That’s the proposal on the table right now, yeah? DOMINGO: Yeah, it was a four-two decision on that. ALAMEDA: Awesome. DOMINGO: There’ll be no majority -, nothing can happen -. ALAMEDA: Oh, yeah, yeah, okay. All right. I’m back on track now. Okay. All right, I’m ready to entertain a motion. SIRACUSA: A question. I have a question -. ALAMEDA: A question, Commissioner Siracusa? SIRACUSA: Can we amend this resolution, amend the definition of superstores that’s in this resolution to delete the conjunctions “and,” and replace them with the conjunctions “or”? TORIGOE: Well, the Rule says that you are supposed to transmit the proposed changes in ordinance together with its recommendation. So you can’t technically amend it, but you can send it up with, you know, a suggestion or a recommendation that you change the definition in certain way, if you want to. SIRACUSA: Would that have to be as part of the motion then -? TORIGOE: That’s what I would recommend, if you want to do that. -. SIRACUSA: Whether the motion is for or against? Or would it have to be a separate motion sending a recommendation to the Council that they consider that change when they look at both resolutions, both the County generated one and the Director generated one? TORIGOE: I think depending on what your recommended change is, you know, it could be either way. I mean if you want to send up a recommendation that is positive, but with the recommendation that you change the definition of superstore to XYZ, you can do that. Or if you want to send a negative recommendation, you can say it’s negative unless they change the definition as you would recommend. DOMINGO: Mr. Chairman? SIRACUSA: Except some of us might feel that it’s negative anyway, with or without that, you know -. TORIGOE: Right, that -. ALAMEDA: Right. SIRACUSA: That grammatical change, so -. EXHIBIT F 8
