Meeting Convened:
4:01 p.m.
Rules Committee: Council Member Gulliford reviewed the
actions of the committee from its meeting, noting that 2014-151 (authorizing a
straw ballot referendum on establishing a City employee residency requirement)
was recommended for withdrawal by the committee.
TEU Committee: Principal Auditor Kyle Billy reviewed the
actions of the committee from its meeting, noting that 2014-461 (provisionally
appropriating future mobility fee revenues to the private developer who
constructed the Duval Road widening) has conflicting substitutes from the TEU
and Finance Committees; the Finance Committee substitute should be moved first.
Finance Committee: Council Member Clark reviewed the actions
of the committee from its meeting, noting that 2014-151 was recommended for
amendment and approval rather than withdrawal.
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 stated that 2013-493 (amendment to
off-site sign regulations) was heard and a recommendation made by the Planning
Commission after a very lengthy meeting. He suggested that all the committees
of reference may wish to hold a joint meeting so that common questions can be
dealt with one time in an efficient manner rather than in multiple committees.
Mr. Yarborough announced that the next Council meeting will
be moved back one day to Wednesday, August 27th because of the
primary election on August 26th.
He also noted that the Finance Committee’s discussion of the Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) will take place this Friday, August 15th,
rather than next Friday as previously scheduled.
Council Member Gulliford requested that 2014-520
(transferring Mayor’s Office security costs from the Sheriff’s Office budget to
the Mayor’s budget) be discharged from committee, the public hearing held, and
the bill be moved as an emergency.
