  4 – 1 (Clark) Assistant Council Auditor Janice Billy explained the
  sources of funds in the appropriation. Chris Hand, Chief of Staff to the Mayor, indicated that
  the Administration would like a one-cycle deferral of the bill to provide the
  Real Estate Division of the Public Works Department an opportunity to
  evaluate additional property in the area for the project that the City could
  acquire at a reasonable price; the Administration is supportive of the
  project. Council Member Clark said that he was supportive of the
  one-cycle deferral to give the Administration an opportunity to assess the
  other property. Council Member  Holt, the bill’s sponsor, remarked
  that a considerable amount of work had gone into the legislation and that it
  was time to move on and approve the measure. Council  Member  Gaffney thought
  that it was time to vote on and approve the measure, as well.  |
