LUZ Committee: Council Member Schellenberg reviewed the actions of the committee from its meeting.

Finance Committee: Council Member Dennis reviewed the actions of the committee from its meeting.

Rules Committee: Council Member Carter reviewed the actions of the committee from its meeting. Council Member Boyer asked to be added as a co-sponsor to 2018-174 (honoring and commending the retiring presidents of Florida State College at Jacksonville, Edward Waters College and the University of North Florida). Council Member Schellenberg will pull that resolution from the consent agenda and offer an amendment to add all council members as co-sponsors.

NCSPHS Committee: Council Member Newby reviewed the actions of the committee from its meeting.

Council Member Dennis asked for clarification from the Office of General Counsel on how to dismantle a special committee. Deputy General Counsel Peggy Sidman cited the Council Rule that provides for appointment by a Council President and for either the President or the full Council to establish the ending date for a special committee. A council action to establish an end date for a special committee would be by a simple majority vote. In response to a question from Council Member Hazouri, Ms. Sidman explained the different procedures involved in making a corporate statement of opinion to the outside world on some issue (by means of introducing and adopting a resolution) and in setting a sunset date for an appointed special committee (an internal administrative procedure done by means of a majority vote on a motion made at a Council meeting pursuant to Council Rule 2.103).

Meeting adjourned: 4:15 p.m.
