Bright, David Bright, and Rosanne Ray Dear Mayor Oberndorf and Members of Council: At your preliminary agenda session of October 2nd when the consent agenda was set, the City Clerk pointed out to me that there would only be five affirmative votes for passage of the above- referenced ordinance and asked if that number of votes would be sufficient for adoption of the ordinance. We immediately reviewed the issue and concluded that an Agricultural Reserve Program acquisition ordinance approves an installment sales contract for the purchase of land, and thus requires only a majority of those present and voting, rather than a majority o fthe entire City Council. On Wednesday after the Council meeting, we revisited the issue and determined that the installment sales contract includes a pledge of the full, faith and credit of the City, and it is the addition of that pledge which requires six affirmative votes for adoption. Because the vote in this case was five to three, with three members of Council being absent, the ordinance did not receive a sufficient number of affirmative votes to be adopted. The minutes of October 2"a should reflect that the motion to adopt the subject ordinance failed, as it was not approved by a majority of all of the members of the governing body, and this letter should be appended to those minutes.
