Chairman Jones reviewed the Council Auditor’s marked agenda which included 10 items marked for deferral, 17 items ready for action (1 for withdrawal) and 8 items for second reading and re-referral.

 

2013-554 (amendment to vehicles-for-hire code): the parties are still working on trying to reach a mutually agreeable substitute and may be ready for subsequent committee meetings this week.  Peggy Sidaman stated that a substitute bill was circulated last Monday afternoon before the last subcommittee meeting, then was re-worked at the request of Council Member Love after that meeting. Chairman Jones asked that the latest substitute be circulated to all committee members as soon as possible.

 

2013-660 (appointment of Ellen Blair as Chief of Compensation and Benefits Division): the amendment to attach a label to the exhibit will be done as a scrivener’s correction unless another amendment is needed on the bill.

 

2013-671 (reappointment of Cindy Laquidara as General Counsel to cure a defect in the prior appointment): the Chair will allow Council Member Schellenberg to address the bill, then it will be deferred.

 

2013-694 (amendment to Jacksonville Jaguars lease for EverBank Field): Mayor’s Chief of Staff Chris Hand stated that additional changes have been negotiated in the lease that was attached to the bill at introduction so a substitute exhibit is requested before the bill is seconded and re-referred.

 

2013-673 (amendment to city contract with TBE Group for brownfield consulting services): Council Member Boyer asked for a copy of the revised agreement to be circulated to the members.
