Mo- tion tied on roll call vote, Councilmen Granger, Rosselli and Mayor Herkner voting yes, Councilmen Bury, Keckley and Petersen voting no. Councilman Petersen moved to deny the protest and confirm the assess- ment charges, seconded by Councilman Keckley on basis of statement made that abatement work had been done and protest based on fact some -- weeds still present. Motion tied on roll call vote, Councilmen Bury, Keckley and Petersen voting yes, Councilmen Granger & Mayor Herkner voting no. Discussion held concerning effect of tied motion. Assistant City Attorney advising motion in this instance would constitute in effect a cancellation of the entire assessment charges. Councilman Keckley moved to reduce the assessment charges by 1/3 on this property, provided Mr. Boicelli and City could stipulate that no further weed abatement work would be done on this property this year, and City not be held responsible for weeds now claimed present, seconded by Councilman Granger. Assistant City Attorney advised motion proposed not possible because of facts of contract commitment to pay charges for all parcels assessed, and motions possible for Council action again stated as can- cellation, modification, or confirmation of charges. After further dis- cussion, motion withdrawn. Councilman Bury moved to deny the protest and confirm the assessment charges, seconded by Councilman Petersen and tied on roll call vote, Councilmen Bury, Keckley and Petersen voting yes, Councilmen Granger, Rosselli and Mayor Herkner voting no. Councilman Rosselli moved to table this matter. Motion died for lack of a second. Further discussion held as to other similar actions taken by Council in denying protests where abatement work had been performed according to protestants, and questioning as to why this should be questioned and favored for denial, Mayor Herkner indicated his opposing charges in this matter because of Mr. Boicelli advising he would perform weed abatement work himself the previous year, but he realized from dis- cussion of present ordinance requirements, that a written notice to the Department of Public Works was required each year. Councilman Keckley again moved to deny the protest and confirm the assess- ment charges, seconded by Councilman Bury if it was the intent that all such actions taken would not preclude possibility of a protest still being reviewed, even after confirmation on Tax Roll, as done in other years. Motion carried on roll call vote, Councilmen Bury, Keckley, Petersen, and Mayor Herkner voting yes, Councilmen Granger and Rosselli voting no.
