amended and re-referred, 1 item to be acted on as an emergency on first
reading, and 25 items to be read a second time and re-referred. Chairman Corrigan stated that he would be
offering a floor amendment to item #6, 2008-656 (adoption of Fire and Rescue
Department’s list of improvements from TriData study). The chairman also state that he would be
deferring item #7, 2008-698 (renewal and amendment of cooperative agreement
between City/JSO and School Board for school resource officers) until he
receives curriculum information he had previously requested.
Ms. Billy stated that item
#19, 2008-911 (creation of an ex-offender hiring program) was substituted in
the Rules Committee this morning and Council Member Hyde will be present to
discuss the bill intent and the nature of the substitute. With regard to item #22, 2008-918 (amendment
to JAA budget and CIP plan), Council Member Yarborough asked to clarify the
Auditor’s written remarks on the marked agenda to reflect that the $500,000
being moved from the JAA budget to the Council Contingency fund is solely for
an environmental study, not for design or construction as written.
Finance Director Mickey
Miller stated that he would be present to give a brief update on the state of
the financial markets and to make the quarterly update on the City’s operating
investments portfolio.
