Meeting Convened:

Chairwoman Brosche called the meeting to order and asked the
attendees to introduce themselves. She reviewed the Auditor’s marked agenda
which included 7 items marked for deferral, 21 items ready for action (2 for
withdrawal, 2 as substitutes, 1 as an emergency) and 19 items for second
reading and re-referral.
Ms. Brosche announced that the Council Auditor would be
giving a brief overview of two new audits/reports released since the last
committee meeting.
2014-665 and 2015-127 regarding amendments to the Vehicles
for Hire ordinance will be deferred, with Council Member Schellenberg offering
comments about the process for dealing with this issue.
2016-441 (appropriating $125,000 to the Soutel/Moncrief
Community Redevelopment Area): Council President Boyer said that this bill is
not ready for action yet. She and LUZ Committee attorney Susan Grandin believe
that, pursuant to state statute, there are specific actions the City Council,
as the governing body of this CRA, needs to take to make this appropriation.
The Council will need to hold individual meetings in its capacity as the
governing body of the Soutel/Moncrief, JIA and
Greater Arlington CRAs, with appropriate meeting notices, to take action
regarding these entities. A new chapter was added to the Florida Statutes in
2014, separate from the usual CRA chapter, which impacts how Council acts with
regard to these entities.
CAO Sam Mousa will be present to speak to 2016-385
(appropriation to Friends of Hemming Park), 2016-426 (approving settlement of
the landfill tipping fee dispute with City of Neptune Beach), and 2016-438
(approving legal settlement with Palms Partnership, LLC for Palms Fish Camp
property).
