RCDPHS Committee: Council Member Redman reported that all the actions of the committee had been previously covered.

LUZ Committee: Assistant General Counsel Susan Grandin reviewed the actions of the committee from its meeting, noting that 2015-36 (appeal by the James Island Homeowners Association of a minor modification approval) will have a floor amendment, as will 2014-725 (rezoning on Shad Road). Council Member Boyer explained that the floor amendment for 2015-36 is intended to rectify an error by the LUZ Committee in not adopting findings of fact and conclusions of law as part of its recommendation on this bill. She also had the amendment provide for a refund of fees to both the applicant and the appellant because the City accepted an application for a minor modification that it should not have accepted.

2014-723 (Charter amendments regarding the Office of General Counsel): Council Member Boyer referenced an e-mail received by all council members this week regarding the School Board’s resolution opposing certain aspects of this bill. She said that she had met with several current and former school board members and will offer a floor amendment that is acceptable to the School Board.

2014-560 (approving the DIA’s BID plan and updated CRA plans for the downtown CRAs): Managing Deputy General Counsel Peggy Sidman noted that the RCDPHS substitute is the most complete version and should be moved first.

2014-613 (appropriating $200,000 to Jacksonville Area Legal Aid): Ms. Sidman recommended moving the RDCPHS amendment first.
