Council President Webb convened the meeting and asked the committee chairs to report their committee actions.

 

Rules Committee: Assistant Council Auditor Janice Billy reviewed the actions of the committee from its meeting, noting that 2010-646 (modifying educational requirements for various Fire and Rescue Department management positions) was recommended for approval by the Rules Committee but recommended for withdrawal by the PHS Committee.  The administration requests withdrawal, which will be the motion.  2010-695 (amendments to fair share assessment procedures) will have a floor amendment to correct a scrivener’s error.

RCD Committee: Council Member Yarborough reviewed the actions of the committee from its meeting.

 

 

Finance Committee: Council Member Jones reviewed the actions of the committee from its meeting.

 

PHS Committee: Janice Billy reported that the committee’s bills had all been previously covered.

 

LUZ Committee: Council Member Crescimbeni reviewed the actions of the committee from its meeting and noted that 2010-900 (regulation of changing message signs) is scheduled for a public hearing but no action tonight.

 

President Webb noted that several council members were excused from the meeting and asked the remaining members to be aware of the need to preserve a quorum.

 

Dylan Reingold reported that Planning and Development Director Bill Killingsworth wished to be in attendance for the public hearing on the mobility plan ordinance (2010-879) in case there were any questions, but he needs to drive to Tampa after the issue is discussed and so requested that the item be taken up early in the meeting before the public comment period.  The President approved taking up the item early in the agenda.

 

The meeting was adjourned at 4:12 p.m.
