The Chair reviewed the agenda indicating what particular items were ready for action, those items that were being deferred, and the items that were being recommended for second reading and re-referral.
There was considerable discussion on the decision to defer Item #7, ORD 2011-371, Approp $425,000 from City’s Foreclosed & Vacant Propty Registrations to City’s Intervention Prog ($100,000) & City’s Homebuyer Counseling Prog ($325,000). A substitute for the original bill was before the Committee for consideration. The decision to defer was in light of the Finance Committee’s deferral of the bill earlier in the day. Council Member Reggie Brown felt that it should be the Committee’s prerogative to move on the bill or not. Assistant General Counsel Margaret Sidman explained what the ramifications would be procedurally if the RCDPHS moved forward and acted. The Chair announced that he would ask the Office of General Counsel, the Council Auditor’s Office and the Housing and Neighborhoods Department to give their respective perspective of the bill during the Committee meeting.
