On behalf of Sub-Group that is considering the issue of re-submitting a motion (Anne Aikman-Scalese, Avri Doria, Thomas Rickert and Mary Wong) here are suggested approaches for your consideration.

1. Clarify that the Conflicts of Interest issue is separate from the issue of re-submitting a motion and the SCI has yet to discuss conflicts of interest

2. Possible Options for Addressing the Re-Submission of a Motion:

a. Leave up to discretion of the Chair

b. Set one or more high-level criteria (in this order):

1) Change in circumstance that merits the resubmission of a motion.

2) Publish the text of the re-submitted motion as of the deadline for submission of motions (8 days prior to the next Council meeting).

3) Require a seconder of the motion from each house as a prerequisite for placing the re-submission of the motion on the consent agenda.

4) Allow a councilor to ask for the re-submission of the motion to be taken off the consent agenda and to request a Council vote on whether to accept the re-submission.
