what we think we might be able to get rid of right now. I could see that. <br />• SANTANGELO: Rather than accept — okay. Then I'd like to make a motion, Mr. <br />Chairman. <br />RAY: Okay. <br />SANTANGELO: On item 2, Council to include 3 at -large seats — <br />HIGASHI: Are we going to go from 1 down or just — <br />SANTANGELO: Well, that's what I just asked. We're going to delete things so I'm <br />jumping in there. <br />HERKES: He's making an assumption. <br />SANTANGELO: Yes. <br />RAY: So, you're going through with your deletions, right? <br />or <br />SANTANGELO: I don't know. Excuse me. I'm in the middle of a motion but I'II <br />retract that, and I was asking for guidance and I thought the discussion between you <br />and Sue said let's get rid of the things first. <br />IRVINE: Go for it, John. <br />SANTANGELO: All right. I move that number 2, Council to include 3 at -large <br />seats not be moved forward and placed on the ballot. I would ask for a second for <br />these reasons: I think that this is something I have supported. I've seen, in my own <br />heart, a lot of good that this could do. On the other hand, the overwhelming public <br />testimony opposing this, the lack of understanding, or certainly me being understood as <br />well as others, and the fact that we may well not be ready for this just yet. We have <br />moved into nine single member districts and it seems like we just need to get more <br />comfortable with that. And so, based on a lot of the public, and how I've been led to <br />feel, I move that we not include it. <br />RAY: Okay, do I have a second? <br />HIGASHI: Second. <br />RAY: Second from Mr. Higashi. All in favor of deleting it raise your right <br />HERKES: No discussion? <br />RAY: Discussion. Excuse me. <br />17 <br />
