Emergency Addressing Advisory Committee bills,
The Council Member indicated that he had met with people affected by the address reassignments and with Mark Shelton and Ellen Fales; it was decided that there was the need to defer the bills, that matters should be resolved by December 5th.
Ellen Fales, Planning & Development Department, explained what the issues were in Item #3, ORD 2011-460, Closing & Abandoning 3 Sections of Rosewood Ave….Minimizing the 911 Emerg Syst Routing Problems.
The Chair announced that Item #5, RESO 2011-607, Req FDEP to Delay Issuance of the Georgia-Pacific Paper Mill Discharge Permit, was being deferred for another cycle so as to give RCDPHS an opportunity to air the bill; action in RCDPHS had been postponed on a presentation owing to the Chair, Council Member Gulliford being out of the country and a scheduling conflict with one of the presenters. TEU will act on the bill at its next meeting.
Peggy Sidman, Office of General Counsel, explained what the Chairman’s options were in acting on the 911 Emergency Addressing bills (five of them). The Chair could either open and close public hearings on the measures or continue the public hearings with new notices sent out and posted. The Chair indicated that if speakers showed up at the Committee meeting under the impression that there was a public hearing scheduled, he would allow them to comment on the issue.
On Item #9, ORD-MC 2011-653, Repealing & Reenacting a new Chapt 652 (Flood Damage Prevention), Ord Code, to Develop New Ord that meets the Natl Flood Insurance Prog…, Peggy Sidman suggested that a substitute be offered rather than an amendment to reflect numerous corrections in the proposed legislation. Cherry Shaw, Office of General Counsel, indicated that Bill Joyce of Public Works would be present to field any technical questions.
