Meeting Convened: 4:01 p.m.

Rules Committee: Council Member Jones reviewed the actions of the committee from its meeting.

LUZ Committee: Council Member Boyer reviewed the actions of the committee from its meeting, noting that 2013-803 (designating 937 North Main Street as a historic landmark structure) was amended to remove the smallest of the 3 buildings from the historic designation but the bill failed to be recommended for approval by the committee.

PHS Committee: Council Member Daniels Boyer reviewed the actions of the committee from its meeting. Council Member Crescimbeni requested that 2014-43 (approving Medical Examiner fee increases) be re-referred to committees for correction of a problem.

RCD Committee: Council Member Crescimbeni reviewed the actions of the committee from its meeting.

TEU Committee: Council Member Love reported that all of his committee’s actions have been previously covered.

Finance Committee: Council Member Anderson reported that all of his committee’s actions have been previously covered.

Council Member Boyer noted that 2013-803 is a quasi-judicial bill and that council members who, like her, have received considerable communication from the public since the LUZ Committee meeting should be prepared to make their declaration of ex parte communication. She also announced that she would be distributing to all the council members a packet of information received from Paul Harden documenting the compliance of several proposed land use changes with the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, something that the Planning Department’s staff report did not contain.

In response to a question from Council Member Yarborough about which version of 2013-676 (amending the noise control ordinance to provide for new regulations for special events at Metropolitan Park), the members discussed the several versions of the bill that have been approved by different committees over the past several months and the fact that the PHS amended version differs substantially from the Rules/RCD substitute version. President Gulliford was inclined to have the Rules/RCD substitute moved first since it is the latest document. He asked the Office of General Counsel to prepare a document outlining the difference between the two versions.

Peggy Sidman explained that the LUZ Committee amended 2013-803 but then did not recommend approval of the amended bill, so the amendment was never enrolled and thus does not appear on the Amends and Subs sheet.
