The motion tied 3-3, with council members Mark Hickey, Ed Hruska and council president Randy Staver voting nay. Council member Sandra Means left the meeting prior to the vote. The TNC discussion was the final topic in a meeting that lasted more than nine hours and did not conclude until after 4 a.m.

Earlier in the day, the council met with representatives from Uber to discuss modifications the company was requesting to the ordinance. During the meeting, Hickey grilled the Uber reps line-by-line on issues regarding annual inspections and quality control of vehicles and drivers. Later when the ordinance was put to a vote, Hickey still had concerns about some of the provisions.

"The fact that we can't take the time to go through and reconcile the differences, I don't understand that," said Hickey, in response to council member Michael Wojcik's request to make a motion on the ordinance. "We asked questions about the changes but we didn't come to any agreement."
