Thanks Diane! FYI, I am not personally planning to rally others to a special meeting for this, but also
I'm not sure whether I would join the call if someone else initiated it. I was interested in this question: if
4 members call a special meeting, do they also get to set the agenda for the meeting, or does that have to
come from one of the other agenda-setting authorities? The memo doesn't really say, but I would say
that Mark's interpretation is that 4 members can both call a special meeting and specify the agenda for it.
Does that sound right to you?
Best,
David

Subject: Re:Mayor's Veto/Memo-MOL
David, I went looking for some authority on the matter of who can place items on
the Council agenda, and finding nothing authoritative (e.g. , in the Municipal
Code) I checked with Diane and she found the 2006 memo. DIANE: Could you send a
copy to David?
And, yes, a Council member could move for a special meeting of the Council to be
held, as long as a majority of Council members voted to do that. I thought someone
might be inclined to do that, which is why I said "next Council meeting" or "the
following Council meeting" instead of saying "August 28 Council meeting" in my
memo.

Hi Mark/Vikki,
Thanks for laying out the options.
Could you please forward me the 2006 memo regarding the agenda-making
process you mentioned? No one has ever been able to explain to me the
authority for controlling the agenda and this sounds like the closest match.
Is there anything stopping 4 council members from calling a special meeting
with agenda being the repassage of the exception ordinance? Or with the
agenda being to consider putting the repassage of the exception ordinance
on a future agenda?
Thanks,
David

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Mayor Vetoes Rental Cap Exceptions Ordinance
AMES, Iowa - Ames Mayor John Haila used his veto authority on Friday to strike down the
"Rental Cap Exceptions Ordinance" passed on third reading by the City Council
on July 31. While rarely used in Ames, the Iowa Code gives mayors the ability to
veto a resolution or ordinance within 14 days of its passing.
Mayor Haila provided his explanation for the veto in a letter he sent to the Ames City Council. He
wrote that language added during last Tuesday's meeting altered the ordinance to
the point it was "inconsistent" with what the Council was attempting to accomplish
in balancing neighborhoods between owner occupied and rental homes. In part,
