To me this looks like a further salvo in the disfunction that is this council. I agree the request and the likely motivation for it are both off side. At the same time, Nenshi has lobbed his own share of bombs, he's generally much more subtle -- but not always.
This signals that the councillor involved thought there were enough votes to push it through, or enough to make it worthwhile and create discussion even if behind closed doors, but being bold (crazy?) enough to do it publicly. It was for sure going to grab headlines. I see it as an effort to lead a revolt against Nenshi himself. More will come.
