When a City Council has a Motion and Second and another Motion is made what happens?
Full Question:
I was at a city council meeting and a councillor made a motion which was then seconded, while discussion was beginning to take place another councillor made a motion which favored his opinion. City staff then indicated that the secondary motion was now priority and would be voted on before the original motion. I just don't see how this fair because if someone doesn't like another opinion and feels they can obtain the votes they can just make their own motion....
