But it’s worth noting that the April 16, 2001 vote didn’t appear to be controversial, with as it passed on just a voice vote. No roll call was taken. And the veto message indicated that Hieftje anticipated that a second reading of the same ordinance, presumably with a rectification of the “technical issue,” to come forward at the May 7, 2001 meeting. So it looks like the 2001 veto was not exercised for the same kind of reason as this current situation, where the mayor’s position is actually at odds with a majority of the councilmembers.
