emergencies tonight.
Council Member Jabour gave
the Rules Committee report.
Council Member Shad gave the
Finance Committee report. He noted that
2007-987 (Mayport Ferry transfer to Jaxport) was recommended for emergency
action by several committees with differing amendments. He recommended consideration of the TEU
Committee amendment first.
President Davis announced
that the budget ordinance would be moved to the beginning of the agenda, with
the remainder of the agenda to follow.
The fee bills do not appear on the agenda because they were not acted on
in all committees; discharge from the committees that have not reported will be
required. Council Member Joost announced
that he had a floor amendment ready to offer to address the $5.7 million in
revenue that would have been produced by the stormwater management fee, which
he will offer if the fee is not approved.
In response to a question from Council Member Jabour about how the
budget ordinance (2007-813) and the administrative reorganization ordinance
(2007-839) will be reconciled, Assistant General Counsel Peggy Sidman indicated
that the Office of General Counsel has prepared a number of floor amendments to
the budget that will synchronize the two bills.
Assistant Council Auditor
Janice Billy gave the PHS Committee report, noting that all bills have been
previously covered by earlier reports.
Council Member Clark gave the
TEU Committee report, noting that all bills have been previously covered by
earlier reports.
