Bill Summary

TEU: Amend/Approve

 

Council Member Redman urged the committee to adopt the Rules Committee amendment and recommend approval to the Council.  The committee debated the issue at length and asked questions of Brenda Ezell representing Blue Cross and Blue Shield and John Pappas representing the Public Works Department.  The committee discussed the role of public/private partnerships in affecting the ranking of road projects on the City’s priority listings.  It also debated whether or not the bill should be amended to incorporate language imposing conditions on future Blue Cross and Blue Shield expansion plans at the Gate Parkway campus with regard to refunding some or all of the City’s appropriation to this project if future expansions would have incurred a fair share/mobility fee or other transportation capacity fee in the absence of the improvements provided for in this ordinance.
