President Yarborough noted that while 2013-669 appears on the Amendments and Substitutes sheet with a Rules substitute from January 2014, the Finance and TEU Committees recently recommended withdrawal, which will be the motion.

 

Council Member Boyer requested to be added as a co-sponsor on 2014-447 (amending the building safety code with regard to potentially historic structures).

 

Council Member Schellenberg requested that his Resolution 2015-45 (recognizing and honoring police officers and firefighters for their valor and sacrifices) be acted on as an emergency on first reading.

 

President Yarborough noted that upgrades have been made to the voting system during the recent winter break. The system now provides separate recognition queues for the main motion and subsequent amendments; also, council members will note their attendance at the start of the meeting by pushing the green button, not the yellow button as before.
