2012-451 (changing the method of settling street addressing errors/conflicts): Peggy Sidman explained the proposed substitute, which leaves the current appeals process intact but provides that no addresses will be changed on a street until the addressing appeals process is completed for all properties.

2012-569 (economic incentives agreement with Advanced Disposal Services, Inc.): Ms. Boyer reported that Council Member Yarborough has requested deferral of the item, but Paul Crawford of the Office of Economic Development reports that the item is time-sensitive.  Mary O’Brien of Advanced Disposal said that the company has a board meeting scheduled next week to consider the incentive packages offered by Jacksonville, Atlanta, Milwaukee and Charlotte.
