▶ 1:30:46 Christopher Cinella: Thank you. I'd like to take Order 2020-96 out of the Appropriations Committee, where it was divided into seven separate votes for each Stabilization Fund under discussion. All seven were recommended for passage, and as the order was never conjoined, I move that Order 2020-96 be conjoined. Second.

▶ 1:31:10 Speaker 2: Okay.

▶ 1:31:12 Jen Grigoraitis: Okay, so we have a motion to conjoin 7 orders under order 2020-96 with the Chairman Sinella seconded by Councilor Migliorelli. Do we have any discussion?

▶ 1:31:28 Shawn M. MacMaster: Councilor McMaster. Madam Chair, I'm happy to vote on that, but I would just request that the Chair of Appropriations reconsider that motion in light of the fact that there were multiple Councilors who voted for some But not all of the stabilization accounts, I think it would be prudent that we'd be given the opportunity to divide the question and vote again on each 1 separately. For me, I voted on 3, but the others I didn't vote on and as I said, at the appropriations committee meeting, I don't think it's an up or down vote. We're talking about a considerable amount of money here. And if it is, I'd be inclined to vote against it. I prefer not to because there are some amounts that I do think are important. and I'm particularly supportive of the new stabilization fund relative to OSHA. So I think it would really be in our best interest to vote on each one separately. I just put that forward if the Appropriations Chair would be willing to withdraw that motion and give me the opportunity to make a motion

▶ 1:32:31 Speaker 1: to divide the question.

▶ 1:32:35 Speaker 7: Chancellor Eccles on discussion.

▶ 1:32:37 Jack Eccles: I would be inclined to agree with Councilor McMaster if the Appropriations Committee weren't a committee of the whole, I believe that it's a well-established part of the public record, wherever a councilor did each one of these stabilization funds individually, so I'll be voting to conjoin them in the order. Thank you.

▶ 1:32:56 Jen Grigoraitis: Councillor Tramontozzi.

▶ 1:32:58 John N. Tramontozzi: Yeah, I would agree with Councillor Zeckels and McMaster. I'd like the opportunity to vote up and down on each individual amount into the stabilization funds. Thank you.

▶ 1:33:10 Jen Grigoraitis: Council Chairman Tozzi, I just think, I think actually Councilor Eccles was saying he would prefer to have the orders conjoined just to.

▶ 1:33:18 John N. Tramontozzi: Oh, I see. Okay. But I would agree with Councilor McMaster on that. On his suggestion, keep it separate. Thank you. Okay. Any other.

▶ 1:33:29 Speaker 7: Is there before.

▶ 1:33:35 Speaker 1: Okay, so the motion, please call the roll.

▶ 1:33:44 Speaker 3: Just to clarify, did we do a roll call to remove it from committee 1st? I'm not sure if we need to or not. I actually don't know, but I think we should probably should do that 1st and then discuss the joining. I don't know. I was yeah, the order is still in committee.

▶ 1:33:59 Jen Grigoraitis: All right, so we need to withdraw the motion that's currently before us.
