NOTE:
The next regular meeting will be held Tuesday October 21, 2014
At
the beginning of the meeting Council Member Schellenberg noted that the City
Council had reduced the Fire and Rescue Department’s budget by $175,000 during
the recent budget adoption, an amount representing the approximate value of the
salary and benefits for a position that the Council wanted defunded. He
understands that the previous incumbent is still in that position and that the
department is covering the salary and benefit costs by leaving other
departmental positions vacant. Steve Woodard, Emergency Preparedness Director
for the department, described the grant from the Rockefeller Foundation that
this position is meant to administer and the City’s matching funds requirement.
Council Member Crescimbeni requested copies of all correspondence between the
JFRD and the Rockefeller Foundation regarding the position in question (Chief
Resiliency Officer), its salary, and the City’s financial commitments to the
grant.

Summary R: Amend/App Assistant Council Auditor Kyle Billy
reviewed the 13 amendments approved yesterday by the Rules Committee. The
committee discussed the qualifications for the IG position and the relative importance
of investigatory and auditing experience versus process efficiency and
productivity improvement experience. The committee engaged in extensive
discussion of the role of the IG with regard to the City’s constitutional
officers and independent authorities. Assistant General Counsel Steve Durden
gave a brief overview of his legal research into the separation of powers
issues involved in where the IG’s office is located organizationally and to
whom it reports. The committee discussed a possible City Charter amendment
referendum by which the voters could choose to make the constitutional
officers and independent authorities clearly subject to the full jurisdiction
of the IG. AMEND/APPROVE

Summary Fact Sheet R: Amend/App The committee engaged in extensive
discussion of the bill with Assistant General Counsel John Sawyer, Steve
Diebenow representing Hallmark Partners, the developer of Unity Plaza, and
Jennifer Jones, the Executive Director of the Unity Plaza about the extent to
which the park may be closed to the public for private ticketed events and
about the location, size and public accessibility of various park amenities.
The committee discussed a possible amendment mandating that a certain number
or percentage of events be open to the public free of charge. Ms. Jones
explained that the paid events produce the revenue for the not-for-profit
organization to maintain the facilities and program the activities, which are
planned for nearly every day of the year. AMEND/APPROVE

At
the conclusion of the agenda Council Member Schellenberg reported that he has
heard from several City department heads that employees have been assigned to
their departments who do not report to the department director. He requested
from the Mayor’s Office a listing of such employees who are assigned to
departments but do not report to the department director.
Council
Member Boyer reported that the Public Works Department may be requesting
approval from the Council to expend funds from various capital project
contingency funds for emergency repairs on several roadways.
Council
Member Crescimbeni made reference to a letter that he (and presumably all other
Council members) recently received from attorney Steve Pajcic
regarding a claim for pension benefits by the adult survivor of a deceased
pensioner.
