Vice Chair Ray Holt reviewed the Council Auditor’s marked agenda which included 9 items marked for deferral, 20 items ready for action (2 as emergencies), and 3 items for second reading and re-referral.

 

2012-439 (appropriating $5,000 from the Environmental Protection Fund to the Northeast Florida Environmental Summit) : Council Member Boyer will have a proposed amendment, depending on what Vince Seibold reports at the meeting about the Environmental Protection Board’s rationale for the appropriation.

 

2012-451 (changing the method of settling street addressing errors/conflicts): Council Member Boyer has an idea for an alternative approach to the problem.  Council Member Anderson intends to defer this matter in the TEU Committee today and asked that Rules do the same.

 

2012-501 (Ordinance Code amendment to limit Mayor’s budget transfer authority): Council Member Schellenberg requested a deferral on behalf of the administration.

 

2012-514 (appointing Tatiana Salvador to the Jacksonville Ethics Commission): Peggy Sidman explained the amendment, the need for which is caused by a change in the length of the board terms from 2 to 4 years.

 

2012-530 (revising boundaries of voting precincts 1103 and 1108): will be requested for action as an emergency.

 

2012-544 (establishing an honorary street designation on Parental Home Road for Derya English Williams): will be requested for action as an emergency.  Council Member Redman will be present to address the request.
