Chairman Crescimbeni convened the meeting and reviewed the Council Auditor’s marked agenda.

 

2012-373 (adjusting FY11-12 budget downward by $6.59 million to reflect reduced revenues and expenditures): the Council Auditor’s office has a question that needs to be clarified.

 

2011-692 (appropriating approximately $1.5 million in AES Cedar Bay environmental settlement funds and Archie Dickinson Park funds for purchase of the Thomas Creek Revolutionary War battlefield site): there are questions about whether one of the properties is subject to a lien or foreclosure proceeding; the Office of General Counsel will need to provide clarity on this issue.  Council Member Anderson indicated that he would abstain from voting on this issue because his employer has a relationship with one of the property owners.
