Bill
Summary It was noted that neither the
introducer of the legislation nor a representative of the organization was
present. Discussion included use of
funds, the lack of a meeting between the event sponsors and the Council’s
auditors, receipt of requested budget information this morning without
allowance for thorough analysis, the appropriation to be done in advance and
not as a reimbursement afterward, and apparent organizational problems. Deferral was considered prior to moving the
bill so that it could appear on the Council’s agenda, allowing the
organization and sponsor time to address questions. The proposed amendment revises the
fiscal year reference and amount, identifies account and departmental
oversight, attaches budget, and includes statement that funds will be used for
parade and related Martin Luther King Day expenses. A motion to AMEND/APPROVE
failed of passage on a vote of 1-6 (Gaffney) |
