Bellevue Reconsideration
Verbatim from Tape;
Chairman Tews: This resolution is up for reconsideration.
MOTION: Supv. Handevidt: So moved.
Chairman Tews: It needs to be the prevailing…
Supv. Handevidt: This is not a reconsideration.
Clerk Krueger: No, it is not a reconsideration.
Supv. Handevidt: This is not a reconsideration, we are considering it, but it is not a reconsideration by statute because it is a changed, uh, … every consideration can only take place when it is word for word the same exact resolution that was voted down. And this is not that same resolution. Clerk Krueger agrees: that’s correct.
Supv. Handevidt: So because it has one word different than the previous resolution, it is then acted on as a new resolution or it would have been brought up under old business. It is brought up under new business, correctly done.
Supv. Jurgensen:
(asked) By who?
Chairman
Tews: Well, on top of our agenda here,
it says, “for reconsideration”.
Supv. Sprague:
Could we talk to our Attorney about this?
Supv.
Jurgensen: Yes.
Atty. Curtis:
I spoke to Roger Clark and we took a look at this and looked at our past
procedures and I talked to George Dearborn about that. It is our understanding that it is a
reconsideration and understands that it has been slightly changed, but it is
basically the same plan with those modifications. It is my understanding that somebody from the
prevailing party would have to bring forth the motion.
Supv.
Jurgensen: That’s what I would think.
Atty. Curtis:
That’s my understanding in talking with Roger.
Supv.
Handevidt: I will make a point of order,
that that is an understanding and not a fact.
I do believe this is a new resolution by law. You guys handle it however you want, I don’t
care. I am just saying that’s my
understanding.
Chairman
Tews: Well, on the resolution, and on
the agenda, it is a reconsideration.
Supv.
Jurgensen: That’s how it’s written.
Chairman
Tews: That’s how it’s written.
Supv.
Handevidt: That’s how it’s written, but not meaning that it is correct.
Chairman
Tews: Our Attorney says that it is.
Supv.
Handevidt: No, he did not say legally
that it was correct, that was just a thought.
Atty.
Curtis: No, that was not just a thought,
that is our interpretation… that somebody from the prevailing party has to put
this motion back forward.
Chairman
Tews: Do I have a motion for
reconsideration? The prevailing sides
are (Supvs.) Bob, Jerry and I. (No
response)
Chairman
Tews: There will be no motion for
reconsideration? (No response) So I believe we move on.
Atty. Curtis:
Yes.
George
Dearborn: That is correct.
Chairman Tews:
Is there a question in the audience?
Res. Jane
Isaacs : I just wanted to address the closed-door meeting that took place in
regards to MEE?
Chairman
Tews: Not at this time.
Supv.
Handevidt: You just got her in a catch 22.
I think maybe you might wanna…
Ms.
Isaacs: (inaudible) (saw?) public records that there was a
closed-door meeting? I mean I think you
should….(address it??)
Dir
Dearborn: What do you mean by
that…closed-door meeting?
Chairman Tews:
This is not called a closed-door meeting.
Ms.
Isaacs: I do not know what to call
it.
George
Dearborn: We have private meetings all
the time.
Chairman Tews:
These meetings go on all the time….
Ms.
Isaacs: With the appealing of the Board
of Adjustment?
Supv.
Sprague: There was only one board
member, the town counsel and George Dearborn.
That isn’t a meeting.
Ms.
Isaacs: But can I just voice an
objection to that closed-door meeting?
That can go on public record?
Supv. Sprague:
You can object to it, but they do happen a lot.
Ms.
Isaacs: …and I don’t, I don’t question
you, but could I …?
Chairman
Tews: Voice your opinion.
Ms. Isaacs:
There was a closed-door meeting that took place in May of 2002…
(She reads
from the attached notes)…I wish to voice an objection that that closed door
meeting was held, for the public record.
Clerk Krueger
asked Ms. Isaacs for a copy of the document from which she read above statements.
Chairman
Tews: Well those kinds of meetings go on
all the time and that isn’t the first one, and it is not going to be the last
one.
Ms.
Isaacs: And I just wanted to state for
the record that it took place…
Chairman Tews
calls on the next resolution.
