Cr Fox said he wished to rescind Tuesday’s decision to allow more time to access additional information.
In February, councillors knocked back a recommendation to award the $216,200 three-year contract to MercyCare.
Under the Local Government Act, any motion to revoke or change a council decision must be supported by at least a third of the number of council members inclusive of the mover.
