The Chair convened the meeting at 1:00 P.M.

 

Council President Lori Boyer read the Committee’s charge for the Council year and remarked on suggested topics that she had put together for consideration as Special Committee topics.

 

Luis Flores, Chief, Public Buildings, Public Works Department, explained why the Administration was requesting emergency passage of an ordinance that would appropriate $177,255 for repair work for Fire Station #4, located at Jefferson and Duval Street.  Mr. Flores described the water and other structural damage.  The unhealthy air resulted in firefighters being located to another fire station.  There is currently only one fire station operational for downtown’s fire safety.  The repair work will take three months to repair.  The hope is to have the repair work completed in three months.
