Council Member Joost announced at the beginning of the discussion that, because of a personal business relationship with Jacksonville Landing owner Toney Sleiman, he would be abstaining from any votes on the bill.

               

The committee engaged in considerable discussion of the details and merits of the bill.  John Germany of the Office of General Counsel described the intent of the bill and recounted the previous legislation regarding this parking lot procurement and the previous deadlines for closing on the property.

 

Council Member Bishop moved a substitute to strike all of the bill except for a provision to extend the parking lot purchase closing deadline to April 1, 2011.  Council Member Crescimbeni moved to amend the Bishop substitute to extend the parking lot purchase closing deadline to June 30, 2011

 

                EMERGENCY/SUB/APPROVE 6 – 0 – 1 (Joost)

 

                Substitute strikes the contents of the bill except for an extension of the original parking lot purchase   closing deadline established in Ordinance 2010-330-E and amended by Ordinance 2010-925-E from February 22 to June 30, 2011.
