The resolution was "returned to author," and the authors (now including Robert Lilligren and Gary Schiff) have decided to bring it to the full council. It will be presented during Committee of the Whole tomorrow, at the end of the agenda, and the vote will take place on Friday morning. It is very likely that the chair will rule the motion out of order again. It will take 7 votes to overrule the chair, and I can count 5 solid votes. I would especially encourage Greens who live in Ward 10 to call their Council Member (Dan Niziolek, 673-2210). I am not sure where we will get the seventh vote, but like I keep saying, if you live in Minneapolis and you want this to pass, CALL YOUR COUNCIL MEMBER. 673-22(Ward number). It can't hurt to have people present at the meeting(s)! Definitely come down if you are able. We can validate parking in the Haaf ramp, and the 3, 7, and 16 busses stop right in front of City Hall, 350 S 5th St. Finally, although I know Greens are ALWAYS polite, I just want to reiterate the importance of being respectful to the people taking your calls here at City Hall. I recently learned that one staffperson's son is being deployed to the Middle East, and the resolution calls are making that person even more stressed out. So be nice, but do call. If you need any more guidance on how to make your voice heard, call me.
