Update: I had to change my original post title "Odd That NCC Council First Voted 10-2 Not To Appeal Save Our County-Stoltz Chancery Decision But Then Voted 10-2 Yesterday To Cross-Appeal Gordon's Cross-Appeal " because Council aide deFiore says information in Adam Taylor's story today was incorrect. 

NCC Council first voted unanimously June 11, 2013 on a motion that did not clearly say not to join the Stoltz appeal but merely to follow the legal advice. There was no 10-2 Council vote opting "to not join Stoltz in the appeal." deFiore is double-checking for me.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I guess I have some digging to do. I don't know where the votes in the story below were taken because they weren't on any agenda anywhere:

NCC Council's 10 - 2 vote not to join Stoltz's appeal - which two voted to join, Kilpatrick and Smiley?  When did this vote take place? In Exec. Session weeks ago?

The vote to file a cross-appeal against Gordon's cross-appeal of the Stoltz appeal of the Save Our County Chancery decision. Where was that on an agenda? Was it a vote taken, in Committee?

NCC Council President Chris Bullock's aide, Anthony deFiore will get back to me on Council's first 10-2 vote - to not join Stoltz's appeal. But he told me Council's second 10-2 vote - to file a cross-appeal against the Gordon cross-appeal - was taken in Executive Committee yesterday following an Executive Session with Hollins and Weiner voting not to cross-appeal.

(News Journal) Adam Taylor reports ~ NCCo approves 1 Stoltz project - Greenville OK’d, Barley Mill stalled

Stoltz first wanted to build a 2.8-million-square-foot mixed-use pro­ject at the former DuPont [Barley Mill Plaza] office com­plex, but reduced it to 1.6 million square feet. The Save Our County citizens group sued the county to reverse the council’s 2011 rezoning of part of the site to allow for commercial development on the site. The group won in Chancery Court and the vote was overturned.

Stoltz appealed that decision to the Delaware Supreme Court earlier this month. Council opted to not join Stoltz in the appeal in a 10-2 vote. While Glasscock overturned the rezoning vote because one council member didn’t get the traffic data he asked for, the judge also ruled that such data isn’t required before re­zoning votes, council’s attorney Robert Katzenstein said earlier this month.

County Executive Tom Gordon, who opposes Stoltz’s plan, disagrees, saying his attorneys have advised him that Glasscock’s ruling shows that the traffic data must be given to the council before they cast a rezoning vote. The county’s executive branch and Save Our County has filed a cross-appeal in the Supreme Court case to clarify the issue. Tuesday, the council voted to file a cross-appeal to the executive branch’s cross-appeal. “That’s appalling,” Gordon said. “So this council doesn’t want traffic studies for large development projects in this county, where the roads are already heavily congested. That’s not the direc­tion I’m trying to move this govern­ment in.”

Note to Adam Taylor....no one but the Hobbs gives a crap that Stoltz decided to stay with the CRG - Coons - Pam Scott-Paul Clarky program for R13-96 Greenville Center or that the old Weymouth (Hobbs) property at Twin Lakes didn't get a tower "this high" across the street:
