Minutes: Adams Versus Gridley, Et Al
City Clerk Renata McLeod does a good job recounting the flap launched by Councilman Steve Adams insistence that the city can't expand the wastewater treatment plant via judicial confirmation. However, she doesn't mention the S-bomb lobbed at Adams by City Attorney Mike Gridley. A brief sample of the discussion:
Mayor Bloem asked if the motion would be legally allowable. Mr. Gridley stated that it would be allowable. Councilman Adams stated that Councilman Kennedy cannot make a motion to exclude him, as he is a duly elected representative. Mayor Bloem asked if Councilman Adam was debating the motion. Councilman Adams stated that he was debating the constitutionality and felt that Councilman Kennedy was out of order. Mayor Bloem clarified that she gets to decide if she should accept a motion, and she did. Councilman Adams stated that the City Council gets to decide and that the Mayor is out of line.
