• • Minutes, Regular Meeting, June 17, 1981, Page 8 service. I wish I could have set up La Porte Ambulance, Inc., as a non-profit, then I would be like Bill Luxbourgh with the Salvation Army, making a tremendous salary. We have had no donations. We get no tax break from the City or the School district. We pay our taxes like any other business. That's all I've got to say. I'm concerned. Gay: Mr. Mayor, would it be improper to ask that this item be tabled for further consideration? Meza: If you make the motion. Gay: I make the motion that the articles of incorporation be tabled for further consideration of Mr. Carpenter's contract. Kibodeaux: I second that. Faris: I would make a motion to amend that motion. The amendment would be that the tabling be only until the matter can be discussed in executive session tonight. Meza: Let's vote on the amendment first. Is there a second • to the amendment? Malone: I second the amendment. Meza: I have a motion and a second to amend the motion to state it will be tabled only until it can be discussed in executive session tonight. All in favor? Longley: Aye. Kibodeaux: Aye. Simons: Aye. Gay: Aye. Skelton: Aye. Meza: Let me count. Five ayes, the motion to amend the motion carries. All right, now we have the original motion to consider.
