The motion was seconded by Councilman Grubbs. Councilman Chandler said he performed his own research based upon the recent opinion of Chief Financial Officer Laurie Matta. He said this change would allow the TRC to operate as a non-profit​ ​organization​ ​and​ ​not​ ​under​ ​local​ ​government​ ​regulations. Councilwoman McLaughlin said she would not participate in discussion or vote on this ordinance because she was an employee of the TRC, but did state she felt the mayor should refrain from voting since she is a member of the TRC Board of Directors. Councilwoman Guzman said the TRC needs the energy of Director Norman Quirion.

Councilman Erb felt the TRC’s authority to assess property should be re-evaluated. Councilman Alexander did not support the change to remove the district management designation.

She felt the TRC had been hampered doing business as a district management corporation and it should be a non-profit agency, and said the current designation may require the TRC assess property and not operate on taxpayer dollars. Councilman Allen called for the question. The question was seconded by Councilman Alexander. The following vote​ ​was​ ​recorded: AYE: Alexander, Allen, Burkhart, Chandler, Erb, Garrett, Grubbs, Guzman,​ ​Henley,​ ​Powers ABSTAIN:​ ​ ​McLaughlin The motion to cease discussion passed.
