Rules Committee: Council Member Gulliford reviewed the
actions of the committee from its meeting. Council Member Schellenberg
requested that 2014-617 (providing for striping of parking spaces, limiting
on-street parking and adjusting speed limits on streets in Avondale) be pulled
from the Consent Agenda so that he may offer a floor amendment.
TEU Committee: Council Member Boyer reviewed the actions of
the committee from its meeting and reported that Council Member Brown had told

Council Member Love, the sponsor of the bill, said he would oppose re-referral.
Finance Committee: in the absence of Council Member Clark
there was no committee report.
RCDPHS Committee: Council Member Redman reviewed the actions
of the committee from its meeting.
LUZ Committee: Council Member Holt reviewed the actions of
the committee from its meeting. President Yarborough announced that the next
LUZ meeting would be on Wednesday, November 5th in recognition of
Election Day on November 4th.
Council Member Boyer announced that she would be offering a
floor amendment to 2014-628 (designating a structure at 801-805 W. Forsyth
Street as a historic landmark) to clarify the LUZ Committee’s intent with its
amendment to set a 3-year sunset provision on the designation if certain
actions do not take place by that time.
Council Member Crescimbeni said that he would request
emergency action on first reading for Ordinance 2014-693 (amending a prior
ordinance to repeal an appropriation for refund of certain solid waste
administrative fees and to appropriate a smaller refund to a different company)
and would be prepared to explain the reasons for the repeal. He also requested
permission to introduce a resolution on the addendum for first reading that
would urge the Mayor not to pursue any further appeals in the case of Denton v. City of Jacksonville, the
original court ruling for which in favor of the plaintiff was upheld last week
by the court of appeals. Numerous council members requested to be added as
co-sponsors.
Council Member Jones requested that 2014-628 (historic designation)
be postponed and held in Council for one cycle while he makes further inquiries
about the owner’s intentions for the property.
Assistant General Counsel Susan Grandin requested permission,
which the President granted, to have an ordinance introduced on the addendum to
the agenda to authorize a mobility fee contract for an extension of R.G.
Skinner Parkway and the construction of an interchange on State Road 9B.
