From the transcript
I take Mr. McGee's point that we might want to postpone this and give everybody on council an opportunity to review this material rather than make an instant, um, vote. Although it seemed that we had consensus last time to approve this, uh, this benefit, as it were, for the utility workers, I think we still would like to do that. And perhaps taking the attorney's suggestions to heart and also Mr. McGee's and the mayor's comments from the last meeting to heart, perhaps it's worth postponing this, but I'm not sure what the rest of the council would like to do. But I definitely want to see something— this or something pretty close to it— approved for the utility workers. Thank you.
