Chairman Clark convened the meeting and reviewed the Auditor’s marked agenda which included 4 items to be deferred, 28 items ready for action (4 items to be withdrawn, 1 to be enacted as an emergency) and 4 items to be read a second time and re-referred.

 

2011-379 (appropriation of Banking Fund reserves for temporary fire stations) will be withdrawn and the administration will return with a separate proposal for a single permanent fire station priority.  Council Member Boyer reported that the land donation for the Bartram Trail station is nearly complete.

 

2011-493 (appropriation to construct health clinic at Montgomery Correctional Center) will be withdrawn at the request of the Sheriff’s Office.

 

2011-535 (amending Procurement Code regarding change order processes): Council Member Anderson asked that the Rules Committee amendment be explained in the committee before action.

2011-521 (declaring surplus 130 ash remediation properties): Council Member Boyer stated that the TRUE Commission had circulated a resolution opposing use of the proceeds from the sale of the properties to the Contamination Assessment Fund, preferring instead to pay down Banking Fund borrowing that was the source of the funding for the cleanup.

 

2011-632 (appropriation for after-school food program): the bill needs a carry-over provision from the FY10-11 to the FY11-12 fiscal year.

 

2011-642 (appropriation from Inmate Welfare Trust Fund to pay inmate pharmacy costs): Janice Billy asked that the marked agenda be changed slightly.
