Chairman Clay Yarborough reviewed the Council Auditor’s marked agenda which included 8 items marked for deferral, 12 items ready for action, and 14 items for second reading and re-referral.

 

2012-451 (changing the method of settling street addressing errors/conflicts): the bill will be taken up if Council Member Anderson is present and ready for discussion.

 

2012-464 (ratifying and validating Cultural Service Grant allocations to the St. Johns River City Band): will be taken up if Council Member Jones is present and ready for discussion.

 

2012-501 (Ordinance Code amendment to limit Mayor’s budget transfer authority): Council Member Schellenberg requested deferral.

 

2012-555 (resolution commending and thanking Rick Campbell): Council Member Boyer requested to be added as a co-sponsor.

 

2012-559 (resolution commemorating the life of Tony Bates): council members Boyer and Love requested to be added as co-sponsors.  Peggy Sidman noted that if the names are added by amendment, the bill will not be on the consent agenda next week.  Any council member can add their name as a co-sponsor administratively by means of a request to the Legislative Services Division, which does not require an amendment.

 

Ms. Sidman noted that 2012-571 through 2012-575 are the City Council’s appointments to the Downtown Investment Authority board, which will be heard in the next committee cycle.  Rachel Welsh has provided information on the specific seats the nominees are proposed to fill, their qualifications and the varying appointment lengths to establish the staggered terms.
