Rules Committee: Council Member Gulliford reviewed the
actions of the committee from its meeting.
Council Member Crescimbeni asked that 2014-568 (confirming appointment
of Dave Herrell as Sports and Entertainment Officer)
be pulled from the consent agenda, as he has a floor amendment to offer.
Council Member Schellenberg questioned how Mr. Herrell
is being paid since the position he is to occupy is not funded until October 1st
with the new fiscal year.
TEU Committee: Council Member Brown reviewed the actions of
the committee from its meeting.
Finance Committee: Council Member Clark reviewed the actions
of the committee from its meeting, noting that the millage and budget
ordinances (2014-463, -464, -465 and -466) are at the end of the agenda and
will all have public hearings and motions to tentatively approve (the budget
ordinance, 2014-466, will be moved as a substitute recommended by the Finance
Committee at its meeting earlier in the day).
RCDPHS Committee: Council Member Carter reported that all
items had been previously covered.
LUZ Committee: Council Member Holt reviewed the actions of
the committee from its meeting, noting that the committee voted to recommend
denial of the appeal of 2014-494 (request for zoning exception for sale of
alcoholic beverages for off-site consumption – 1902 Lane Avenue); to support
the committee’s recommendation, vote the green button to deny the appeal.
Acting President Anderson announced that 2014-564 (expressing
Council support for legislative bill J-1), 2014-568 (confirming appointment of
Dave Herrell as Sports and Entertainment Officer) and
2014-598 (honoring and commending Rear Admiral Robert Fuller) will be pulled
from the consent agenda for discussion and possible amendment.
Council Member Jones requested to be added as an individual
co-sponsor on 2014-600 (honoring and commending Herschel Allen upon his
retirement).
Council Member Boyer reported that the Council will probably
be asked by the applicant for 2014-492 (rezoning on San Jose Boulevard) to add
a new provision to the ordinance that was not discussed by the LUZ Committee at
its meeting. The Planning Department recommends that the ordinance be approved
as recommended by LUZ and that the applicant make a
subsequent application for a minor modification.
