of on the front page proclamations i need to  know from you if this format works in terms   of depicting voting on the proclamations or  whether you prefer that back as a consent   item and just simply have the proclamations that  they normally appear really just seeking guidance   on how you want us you you asked us to report  the votes and and this is the format that the   clerk's office first is offering but I will  offer suggestions so that's not all inclusive   of all the proclamations that have been handed  out even prior to the city council meeting so   um for instance yesterday we had um a  proclamation for PO Initiative and they   will not receive the proclamation at city council  so you wouldn't have the votes on that one either   so I think that if you could have them all  inclusively in the consent agenda then you have   all of the proclamations that have come through so  far you're okay with that being on the consent or   do you want that all here on the front end under  proclamations it would be confusing I think if I   put the ones that are not going to be on the at  the meeting put it will it go will it go in the   minutes who voted for them yes so and that's  a change because now we don't do that that's   correct yeah and that way everybody will vote  every time that's not true the vote will be   shown as part of the minutes yes so it will show  that there's either a yes a no or an abstension   correct so that would show what's on here so you  can abstain if it's a conflict of interest right well there is an ordinance that says I don't  know if it applies to proclamation i'd have   to quickly read that that all council  members shall vote unless there's a   is a proclamation i think it's Yeah I was  like is have we seen a proclamation as uh   abstential or not because it's via  email so sometimes it's once it gets   four votes it doesn't go back around  council so just how do we handle that and there's not like a final roll  call for it or the biggest direction because right now that doesn't even show  an abstension did not vote could simply   mean not answering an email which  that's not an abstension either can we add our vote later or not sometimes you just miss them and you  wish you could add add your vote to it yeah the policy that is in existence right now  says once the off the staff gets to four they go   ahead and issue the proclamation so it would be I  guess up to the council to decide how you'd want   to do that if we'll report to you every week  what was on record for all the proclamations   as of probably Thursday as this was as of  yesterday so that's kind of our timing for   for instance I didn't I don't remember seeing the  AsianPacific American Heritage Month probably did   but I don't remember seeing it so can I change  my vote to yes for that technically again I'll   let Jennifer jump in if if we report this to you  on the consent agenda if you pull that item off   the consent agenda and said that you wanted to  add your vote to it I think you could do that   okay okay okay all right and starting that  meeting on May 6 the proclamations that are   awarded during that council meeting the  official signature of the mayor will be   hand signed at the m at the meeting per  what was discussed during city council   right uh topic if I could follow up on  the ordinance you ask about the vote 2.04.2 just general says all members  shall vote on all matters before the city   council except in those particular  cases of interesting offications i don't know how you could have  a conflict of interest for a proclamation so we'll leave it up to you we're going to  continue to report it as did not vote unless   you tell us otherwise okay all right um on  page two we have four speakers scheduled   page three new business number one uh would  approve $6 million in multifamily residential   revenue bonds for the construction of 36 units  at 721 West Maple can I ask a question about

advisory  on on boards and the council has usually the   council member representing the city has usually  voted on those items um that's been done and I   don't think that's a conflict terms i think
