In response to a question from Chairman Anderson about any potential opposition to the McCoy’s Creek improvement projects, Council Member Boyer said that she has referred a particular company’s access issue to the Public Works Department for research and a response.

Chairman Anderson said he will ask the committee about how it would like to approach several major legislative items that will reach the Finance agenda in the next cycle, including the Berkman II redevelopment proposal and the Jacksonville Landing settlement agreement. Since the committee members will surely have many questions, he will have the committee discuss whether they want to hold a special meeting to deal with these projects or if they want to send all of their questions about the bills to a single person to be consolidated and posed to the administration at one time for a comprehensive reply.
