Why This Vote Matters

The council voted 5-2 against allowing extended discussion and comments on a report detailing how North Richmond waste mitigation fees were spent in 2014-2015. This was a procedural motion that would have suspended normal meeting rules to permit more council member commentary on the spending report. Only Councilmembers Myrick and Rogers supported the extended discussion, while Bates, Beckles, Boozé, Butt, and McLaughlin opposed it. The vote was particularly notable because Rogers and Bates, who typically vote together on budget matters over 95% of the time, split on this procedural issue. The underlying spending report itself was not voted on during this motion.
