The Chair reminded the Committee that there were several 911 Emergency Addressing Advisory Comm Address Reassignments on Southpoint Parkway that have been scheduled for public hearings on December 5, 2011.

 

On Item #3, RESO 2011-607, Req FDEP to Delay Issuance of the Georgia-Pacific Paper Mill Discharge Permit, Council Member Lumb noted that he had missed the meeting when the matter was last before the Committee, when a vote had been taken.  Council Member Lumb asked if it would be possible to defer action in the Committee for another cycle; he is working on a substitute resolution and wanted to have an opportunity to talk further with FDEP officials and the St. Johns Riverkeeper.  The Chair indicated that while there would be no speakers to address the issue today, he would open the meeting up for questions; he would then defer the bill for one more cycle.

 

There being not further business, the agenda meeting was adjourned at 1:38 p.m.
