Agenda Item 10AAGENDA ITEM # IOA
FEBRUARY 13, 2012
TO: Mayor and City Commissioners
FROM: Maria Mark, Mayor Pro Tern Oxd 4 v- -.j
DATE: February 6, 2012
RE: City Commission Meeting — February 13, 2012 — Agenda Item
Below is my proposed motion and reasons therefore.
Motion: Motion to rescind the commission's action taken on Monday, January 23, 2012, regarding
terminating the city attorney's contract without cause to be effective sixty (60) days from that date.
Oasis: The commission's actions violated Atlantic Beach Code, specifically, Article II, Sec. 2 -19, Rule 26,
which states, in part:
The city commission may take action on a matter which ... has not been included on the agenda
for their meeting, if such matter is declared to be an emergency by the affirmative votes of the
majority of the members of the city commission (Emphasis added.)
Commissioner Woods' original motion was not an agenda item and was not declared an
"emergency" nor affirmatively voted on as such as required by aforementioned code. Therefore, all
actions taken on such motion, including any amendments thereto, are null and void.
