Mayor: No number assigned to this ordinance, the number previously assigned was reassigned by the City Clerk to another ordinance. The specific instruction from Council was to have this draft ordinance to come back to Council for discussion as to whether this is what the City Council wanted. That is why an ordinance number wasn't assigned. If the Council approves the language and wishes to adopt this as an ordinance then we are going to need an ordinance number. 2 minute recess for Clerk to get an ordinance number.
