Rules Committee: Council Member Jones reviewed the actions of the committee from its meeting, noting that 2013-606 (declaring surplus property along Hogan’s Creek at Duval Street) has differing committee recommendations and that 2013-554 (amending vehicles for hire ordinance) has been discharged from the Rules Committee by the Council President.

TEU Committee: Council Member Love reviewed the actions of the committee from its meeting.

PHS Committee: Council Member Daniels reviewed the actions of the committee from its meeting.

Finance Committee: Council Member Anderson reviewed the actions of the committee from its meeting, stating his understanding that the TEU Committee substitute for 2013-554 will be moved for consideration.

RCD Committee: Assistant Council Auditor Janice Billy reported that all of the committee’s actions have been previously covered.

LUZ Committee: Council Member Boyer reviewed the actions of the committee from its meeting, noting that 2013-468 (large scale land use amendment on Park City Drive) will not be moved for action but will have the public hearing opened and continued and the bill postponed to the meeting of November 12^th. Similar action will be taken on 2013-648 (rezoning on Newcomb Road), postponing to November 12^th. 2013-680 (City’s consent to exercise of certain powers by the Beach Community Development District) will be placed on the addendum to the agenda for a motion to discharge from committee.

Council Member Clark expressed his opposition to 2013-554 being summarily discharged from the Rules Committee by the Council President before the committee had an opportunity to study the substitute that was introduced in the TEU Committee after Rules had met, stating that is short-circuited the process to which the council members had agreed at the first joint subcommittee meeting. Council Member Love stated that the substitute has been discussed in a dozen or more meetings so its contents are well known, and it addresses many of the issues raised by opponents of the original bill. Council Members Daniels and Joost expressed agreement with the discharge. In response to a question about procedure by Council Member Anderson, Acting President Yarborough stated that a simple majority vote of the members present is needed to overrule the President’s decision to discharge the bill from the Rules Committee, and if that vote succeeds and the bill is re-referred to committee, then a 2/3 vote would be required to re-discharge and bring the bill up for a vote tonight.
