Topic:  Rules Committee agenda meeting

 

Location:  Conference Room A, City Hall – St. James Building; 117 West Duval Street,

     Suite 425

 

In attendance:  Council Members Bill Bishop (Chair), Matt Schellenberg, Lori Boyer and Doyle Carter

 

Kirk Sherman, Sean Costigan and Heather Reber – Council Auditor’s Office; Peggy Sidman  – Office of General Counsel; Jessica Deal – Mayor’s Office; Cheryl Brown – Council Secretary/Director; Philip Zamarron – Legislative Services Division; Jeff Clements – Council Research Division; Suzanne Warren – ECA; Chris Quinn – Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce; Kevin Meerschaert – WJCT

 

Meeting Convened:  9:30 a.m.

 

Chairman Bishop convened the meeting and reviewed the Auditor’s marked agenda which included 8 items to be deferred, 15 items ready for action and 6 items for second reading and re-referral.

 

2012-77 (confirming appointment of Glenn Hansen as Budget Officer): Jessica Deal stated that Mr. Hansen has agreed to reside in Jacksonville within 6 months of appointment.

 

2012-103 (confirming appointment of Roland Udenze to the Art in Public Places Commission): will be deferred because Mr. Udenze already serves on another City board and may need to choose which one he prefers to serve on to avoid dual office-holding.  The future reorganization of the JEDC and its advisory boards will impact on his decision.

 

2012-142 (amending the Ordinance Code to require that City Council meetings be televised on local broadcast or cable station): Cheryl  Brown will be present to discuss.

 

2012-145 (moving salaries and benefits for 6 positions from Special Services Department to Parks and Recreation Department): Council Member Boyer has several questions that she will pose to Sean Costigan after the agenda meeting for response in the committee meeting.

 

2012-108 (confirming reappointment of William Bulgin to Human Rights Commission): Jessica Deal said that she had spoken with Council Member Clark who asked for the deferral and he is amenable to allowing action on the bill today.
