2011-51 (expand scope of tree planting project on Roosevelt Boulevard) – there is a substitute to be moved for approval and Council Member Corrigan should be present to answer questions.

 

2011-108 (expanding investment options for pension plans) – Mickey Miller wants to at least initiate conversation on this item before deferral in order to set the stage for private meetings with individual committee members.

2011-135 (declaring surplus 2 parcels of land on McCoy’s Creek Boulevard) – Mr. Jones will defer the bill today in order to check with Public Works about the potential for future need for these parcels if McCoy’s Creek Boulevard is widened and retention ponds are needed.
