Chairman Clark convened the
meeting and reviewed the Auditor’s marked agenda, stating that a number of
items would be deferred in this committee cycle in order to give the new
administration time to review all the pending items and determine what budget
implications, if any, they may have.
Thereafter he anticipates the committee making a concerted effort to act
on several of the long-standing bills on the agenda.
2011-89 (appropriating
$300,000 from Special Council Operating Contingency to fund the 2012 Martin
Luther King Jr. Parade) will probably be dealt with in the upcoming budget
process.
2011-318 (removing St. Johns
River City Band from the Council Auditor’s grant non-compliance list) will not
have any current fiscal effect, but will make the band eligible to apply for
future cultural service grants.
2011-383 (approving boundary
adjustment of Enterprise Zone) – the bill will be moved for action in committee
today with the understanding that action will be postponed before the City
Council pending a public hearing scheduled at the Highlands Branch Library on
July 28th, a public hearing at the TEU Committee meeting of August 2nd
and a public hearing at the City Council meeting on August 9th.
At the conclusion of the
agenda Council Auditor Kirk Sherman will give a brief overview of the rolled
back millage publication process and the upcoming budget process.
Jessica Deal requested that
2011-373 (appropriating $1,508,940 between Banking Fund accounts to correct an
erroneous account posting) be deferred.
