2013-523 (minimizing Mayor’s
transfer power to $100,000 without Council approval): CM Anderson reported that CM Schellenberg may request deferral since he is
awaiting information for a possible resolution.
2013-669 (declaration and
transfer of surplus property; authorization of property purchase and sale
agreements; Ordinance Code waivers; Ordinance Code amendment; request for
emergency action): CM Anderson explained that bill was being deferred because
the substitute is substantially different from original text. Additionally, the Pension Committee is
reviewing the investment policy.
2013-699 (establishing the
2013-2014 priority populations for the Public Service Grant appropriations): CM
Anderson expressed that action was needed on this bill to avoid any further
delay in the process and that Rules Committee passed bill yesterday with 3-2
vote. John Snyder from Office of Grants
& Compliance confirmed that applicants’ previous concerns were not having
adequate time for submission and the current application deadline would be
February 15th.
2013-806 (surplus designation;
Ordinance Code Waiver of property at 1416 Laura Street): CM Anderson stated
that an explanation of the amendment would be needed.

terms; request for one-cycle emergency passage): CM Anderson commented that
this bill was a one cycle emergency.
2013-820 (amendment to the
Ordinance Code pertaining to Local Option Gas Tax): CM Anderson stated bill is
deferred to remain in cycle with other committees. He shared that CM Jones had
concerns about incomplete drainage projects and was obtaining a list for
review. CM Anderson stated a second list of all projects will be compared to
the incomplete list to prioritize projects then the amendment will be modified.
