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.
