Council President Bishop convened the meeting and asked the committee chairs to report their committee actions.

Rules Committee: Council Member Holt reviewed the actions of the committee from its meeting, and suggested that the City Council co-sponsorship amendment might be appropriate for 2012-555 (resolution honoring and commending Rick Campbell) and 2012-559 (commemorating the life of Tony Bates). Those items will be pulled from the consent agenda for the Council amendment.

TEU Committee: Council Member Anderson reviewed the actions of the committee from its meeting.

PHS Committee: Council Member Daniels reported that the committee did not refer any bills to the agenda at its last meeting.

Finance Committee: Council Member Crescimbeni reviewed the actions of the committee from its meeting.

RCD Committee: Assistant Council Auditor Janice Billy reported that all of the committee’s items have been previously covered.

LUZ Committee: Council Member Boyer reviewed the actions of the committee from its meeting. Ordinance 2012-532 (appeal of Planning Commission denial of a minor modification on Atlantic Boulevard) still has one condition under negotiation between the parties; the bill may be moved for amendment and re-referral to LUZ. Council Member Jones indicated that 2012-424 (rezoning on Sheridan Street) is ready for action after he met with interested parties last night to resolve questions.

President Bishop announced that 2012-523 (development agreement for Duval Station Apartments on Duval Station Road) and 2012-524 (second amendment to a development agreement with American Heritage Life Insurance) will be taken up following 2012-367 (rezoning on Post Street), but before the budget-related ordinances.

Council Member Love stated that he would be offering a floor amendment to 2012-433 (FY12-13 budget). President Bishop stated that there are currently 8 floor amendments submitted in writing for the budget ordinance. He intends to take up those written amendments first (in alphabetical order by the sponsor’s name) when the budget is moved, then ask the Council for any more amendments from the floor. Peggy Sidman distributed copies of the 8 floor amendments to the budget, and will e-mail the amendments and attached exhibits to the members immediately following the agenda meeting.
