The Chair called the meeting to order at 1:30 p.m. and proceeded to review the agenda, indicating those items that were ready for action, those that were being deferred, and the items that were being recommended for seconding and re-referral.

The Chair noted that Item #1, ORD 2010-332, Apv Fair Share Assessmt with Signature Land, Inc for “Biddy Parcel Commercial” Proj was being withdrawn.

The Chair indicated that he expected an airing of conflicting points of view on Item #5, ORD 2011-164, re Duval County Courthouse Facilities Proj, Providing for Closing & Abandonment of W. Monroe St bet Broad & Pearl Sts, with the JEDC making a presentation and architect Ted Pappas offering a contrary perspective. Speaking for the Administration, Sherry Hall requested that the item be deferred for a committee cycle. The Chair indicated that he was hesitant in deferring the item in view of the fact that a number of people were expected to be at the meeting to weigh in on the merits of the proposal in the bill. As an advertized public hearing, the Chair said that a number of citizens were expected to express their views.

The Chair asked Assistant General Counsel Dylan Reingold what was the nature of the emergency being requested for Item #20, RESO-Q re Appeal by Lat Purser & Assoc, Agent for Auld & White Holdings, LLC of a Decision by the 911 Emerg Addressing Advisory Comm to Reassign an Address Out-of-Sequence from 4168 Southpoint Pkwy to be 6874 Southpoint Pkwy.

Dylan Reingold explained that by moving this measure as an emergency, it enables the measure to be aligned with RESO-Q 2011-191 and aired as a public hearing together.

There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 1:37 p.m.
