Speaker 0: 39 Council Resolution 1220 has been adopted. Madam Secretary, if you please put the next item on our screens and Councilman Herndon, if you'd please put Council Bill 1236 on the floor.
Speaker 8: Yes, Mr. President. I move that council bill 19 dash one, two, three, six, be published.
Speaker 0: It has been moved and seconded. Councilwoman, back your motion. You have a motion to postpone?
Speaker 5: Yes, I am requesting that we refer this to committee. We have two sets of appointments for the Community Corrections Board. And I'm hoping that instead of dragging you all through the questions tonight, we can just ask together.
Speaker 0: Okay, so you have a motion. Do you want to go ahead and move comfortable? 1920. Necessary referral. Sorry, I misspoke. Not postponement. You're asking for a referral. You're going to go. I'd make the motion.
Speaker 5: I move that council bill 19 1236 be referred to committee.
Speaker 0: Has been moved near the second and seconded so now comments. Anything you want to add to what you had already said about the referral?
Speaker 5: Just opportunity to refer it. If we don't, then I would love to ask the questions tonight before we vote and vote separately.
Speaker 0: Okay. Councilman Ortega.
Speaker 7: I have a question for Greg, if you wouldn't mind coming forward. Greg Morrow.
Speaker 4: Greg Morrow, Director of Community Corrections.
Speaker 7: So other than these appointments tonight, are there any other vacancies that will be coming up in the immediate future?
Speaker 4: Yes, Councilwoman. And actually Ramon Pacheco is also here, the boards and commissions director for Mary Hancock. Maybe she would be better suited to answer what's coming forward. We do have four vacancies on the Community Corrections Board aside from the ones before council tonight.
Speaker 7: Okay. And if you could highlight whether Romain, if you wouldn't mind introducing yourself.
Speaker 5: Good evening. Romaine Pacheco, director of Boards and commissions and community outreach for the mayor.
Speaker 7: So of the four vacancies that are still yet to be filled, are there specific categories that need to sort of be checked off in order to appoint people to those seats?
Speaker 5: Yes, Councilwoman Ortega, the ordinance is prescriptive in terms of who it is that can serve on the Community Corrections Board. We actually have two vacancies currently. There are two other appointments that have been made that are awaiting the process through city council. But currently we have a vacancy for a representative from Denver Public Schools. The other is for an expert in criminal justice.
Speaker 7: Okay. And the two that are pending. What are those categories?
Speaker 5: Representatives from the Department of Safety and a local elected official. Okay.
Speaker 7: And local elected doesn't mean somebody serving on this body. It means somebody that can be serving in the state legislature. That is correct. Okay, great. I have no further questions.
Speaker 0: Thank you, Councilwoman Ortega. And I believe before we go too far down the path of questions, I need a clarification either from legal or our Madam Secretary over there. Right now should only be debating the postponement. Take the vote on the postponement, and then we can ask questions if it's not postponed. About the actual board and and things. So right now only discussion on whether to postpone or not.
Speaker 5: To re refer.
Speaker 0: Correct? I'm sorry. I keep saying postpone to re refer. So. So. Okay, so.
Speaker 7: That was helpful to me to know how to vote. So that's why.
Speaker 0: Just to clarify, before we get too far down the rabbit hole, these are discussion on the postponement, not on the bill. Councilwoman CdeBaca, you back up.
Speaker 5: No, no, no.
Speaker 0: Okay. All right. So. So nobody else on the postponement. Let's vote on that, Madam Secretary. Sorry.
Speaker 3: Referral.
Speaker 0: Referral. Madam Secretary. Roll call on the referral.
Speaker 2: Sorry. A little slower. Black.
Speaker 5: CdeBaca, I.
Speaker 3: Flynn No.
Speaker 2: Gilmore. Herndon.
Speaker 8: No.
Speaker 2: Hines.
Speaker 4: Hi.
Speaker 2: Cashman. Can each have Ortega? No. Sandoval. I. Torres.
Speaker 5: I.
Speaker 2: Mr. President.
Speaker 0: No. Councilman Kennedy, did you pass? So I think we need to go back.
Speaker 5: I'm sorry. I'm not feeling well. We're voting on the motion to a.
