Meeting Convened:  1:30 a.m.

 

Chairman Anderson reviewed the Council Auditor’s marked agenda which included 3 items marked for deferral, 11 items ready for action (2 as emergencies) and 4 items for second reading and re-referral

 

2013-62 (declaring restrictive covenant over property at EverBank Field): Tom Goldsbury of the Public Works Department will be present for questions.

 

2013-94 (3 year mobility fee moratorium): the Chairman said that he had prepared for a pro and con debate on the merits of the bill, but it was deferred in the Rules Committee this morning and will be the subject of a joint Rules/TEU/Finance Committee meeting on either Thursday, March 7th or Monday, March 11th.

 

2013-117 (requiring uniform, city-approved color for waste and recycling carts): the bill was amended in Rules Committee this morning.

 

2013-140 (transferring $2.1 million for repairs to the Medical Examiner’s facility): Lin White of the Public Works Department requested that this bill be moved as an emergency.  The emergency language was inadvertently omitted during the drafting process and as a result the bill was not referred to the Rules Committee like 2013-136 and -137.  The chair stated that if the Council Auditor’s Office has had time to review and make a recommendation on the bill then it will be taken up today, otherwise it will be left to the Finance Committee to consider action tomorrow and possibly discharge from TEU at the Council meeting next week.
