Subject: RE: Local Bidding Preference Option
To: Matt Benoit <mbenoit(c)_huntsvilletx.gov>
We need to adopt a resolution similar to the one I previously sent. The draft minutes reflect:
Mayor Woodward moved to amend the motion to replace Generators of Houston with McCaffety Electric for the
purchase and was seconded by Councilmember Brauninger. The Mayor amended his amended motion so that it
be contingent on presentation of the required findings and was seconded by Councilmember
Montgomery. The amendment to the amended motion passed unanimously The amended motion passed
unanimously. The amended main motion passed unanimously,
This can be interpreted that it has to go back to council or that if the findings or given to the Mayor he can
sign the resolution based on the approval of the motion. Most times when a motion is made "contingent'
on, it means staff confirms and then the approved item takes effect.
Sincerely
Leonard Schneider
