Council Member Joost reviewed the Finance Committee’s actions from its meeting, noting the 2010-97 (declaration of surplus property on Wills Branch near Hyde Park Circle) was the subject of differing amendments in its committees of reference.  200-868 (amending Ordinance Code Chapter 118 – Public Service Grants) is being requested for postponement.  President Clark will ask the sponsor, Council Member Hyde, if he would agree to a re-referral of the bill to committee for 1 cycle.

 

Council Member Shad reviewed the Rules Committee’s actions from its meeting.  He noted that a floor amendment will be offered for 2010-108 to appoint Council Member Graham rather than Council Member Corrigan to the regional council since he has returned to the City Council.  Mr. Shad noted the conflicting amendments to 2010-97 by the several committees of reference.  The Floor Leader will offer the TEU Committee amendment first.  Council Member Graham explained the reasoning behind the TEU amendment.
