That’s funny, even after reading the first two comments I didn’t realize we were talking about Wes Vivian. I get it now.

There is a minor mistake in the first sentence of the coverage of medical marijuana. Council considered an ordinance that would amend several parts of the existing medical marijuana licensing ordinance. It did not consider a resolution.

Ergo, “a resolution that would change” should probably be “amendments to”.

Regarding the name “Vivian Weston”, this would not necessarily indicate a feminine person (as suggested by the falsetto). Like many other names (Beverly and Evelyn are other examples), Vivian has migrated from use as a masculine name to being more customarily thought of today as a feminine one. You will see male characters named Vivian in early 20th century British literature. My name was given to me in memory of my father’s brother Vivian, who died before I was born. My mother was able to alter the spelling so that it at least looked more like a girl’s name.
