AMEND/APPROVE 4-1
(YARBOROUGH) (Place NSP3 substantial amendments on file; add language stating that
technical amendments to the on file document would not need Council
approval). There
was a lengthy discussion on this bill.
Council Member Lee wanted to know what specifically “hit hardest”
meant? And why other neighborhoods were excluded? Housing & Neighborhoods Department
Director Wight Greger explained that the City had to use scoring criteria
that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development provided; HUD
mandated that only one neighborhood with vacant, foreclosed housing units be
selected. |

Though
the item was being deferred, a lengthy discussion ensued. Attorney Paul Harden, representing the
Jaguars, stated the Jaguars’ position on the legislation, indicating that the
tickets had not been used for two years.
If the City was not going to use the suite and tickets that the City
had previously used, the Jaguars wanted them returned. Council Member Lee argued that the City
should at least retain the suite.
Council Member Jones, the bill’s sponsor, said that he wanted advice
from the Office of General Counsel before moving forward with the
legislation. Chief Deputy General
Counsel Chastain advised the Committee on how the City might go about
retaining the suite, if it chose to do so.. DEFER |
