The Committee Vice Chair convened the meeting at 9:09 a.m. and asked Philip Peterson, City Council Auditor’s Office, to review the agenda, citing those items that were ready for action, deferral, withdrawal or second reading.

Mr. Peterson announced that several of the items on the agenda requiring public hearings could not be considered until after the ten o’clock hour, owing to the timing of the public advertisements.
