Meeting Convened: 8:36 a.m.
Chairman Jones reviewed the
Council Auditor’s marked agenda which included 10 items marked for deferral, 19
items ready for action (1 as an emergency) and 9 items for second reading and
re-referral.
2013-673 (amendment to
contract with TBE Group Inc. for brownfield services): Calvin Burney, Director
of Planning and Development, will be present to address.
Council Member Clark reported
that a vehicles-for-hire meeting was held last week at which a number of issues
were placed on the table by numerous parties and assignments for further
research were made. Another council member should chair the next meeting so
that neither Mr. Clark nor Mr. Joost, who hold opposing views on the bill, will
have to chair the next meeting for fairness reasons. Council Member Boyer
stated that the tone of the committee meeting indicated that amendments to the
bill will likely be needed and Peggy Sidman stated that the Office of General
Counsel has not yet prepared any amendments.
Marty Fiorentino representing Uber Transportation said that Council Member Joost will be
present and hopes to move the bill today.
Council Member Boyer stated
that the administration will be working on a revised reorganization bill and
she hopes that the administration will take into account the recent work of the
Consolidation Task Force which found that the City’s administrative structure
stayed fairly constant from 1968 through the mid-1980s, then has been in a
constant state of evolution ever since. Some
of the changes have been contrary to the original intent of consolidation, but
the reason for changes has been lost over the years. Teresa Eichner offered to
hold a meeting with Ms. Boyer to discuss the Task Force’s findings.
