Assistant Council Auditor
Janice Billy reviewed the marked committee agenda which included 17 items to be
deferred, 15 items ready for action and 23 items to be read a second time and
re-referred. Ms. Billy stated that with
regard to Ordinance 2008-538 authorizing an amended and restated landfill
operation agreement with Trail Ridge Landfill Inc., the Auditor’s Office
received a revised agreement last Friday afternoon and has not had time to
complete a thorough review of the document.
With regard to Ordinance 2008-578 declaring surplus property at 103rd
Street and Old Middleburg Road, Bob Williams of the Real Estate Division stated
that the bill waives an Ordinance Code provision to allow the proceeds from the
sale of the property to be deposited into a recreational land acquisition fund
rather than being deposited into the 5-Year Road Projects account.
Ms. Billy anticipates that
Kerri Stewart, Deputy Chief Administrative Officer, will be present to address
Ordinance 2008-682 regarding feeding of the homeless by religious organizations
and that she will request emergency action on the bill. She noted that Ordinance 2008-372 conveying
surplus property to Operation New Hope for affordable housing purposes was
deferred in the Rules Committee this morning and the Chairman indicated it
would be deferred in Finance as well.
There will be two additional
items after the conclusion of the regular agenda. Millie Reeves of Human Resources will discuss
the timetable for procurement of next year’s employee health insurance plan and
Lisa Rinaman of the Mayor’s Office will give an update on the preparations for
Tropical Storm Fay.
There being no further
business, the meeting was adjourned at 1:40 p.m.
