for action (1 emergency and 1 withdrawal) and 4 items for second reading and
re-referral.
2014-9 (appropriation
of $210,500 from Spec Law Enforcement Trust Fund): CM Daniels stated this bill
would be handled first in committee.
2014-2 (repealing
Section 116.910 residency requirement):
CM Brown requested a deferral. He is looking into legislation for a straw
vote of the public to obtain its view on this issue. CM Brown will request the
sponsors withdraw the bill depending on the opinion of the public.
2014-66
(authorization of lease agreement with Ft. George Island for Fire Station #40):
Ms. Johnston stated TEU passed the bill with additional language and changed
the effective date to October 1, 2013.
2014-87
(appropriation of $1,000,000 to harden a warehouse and secure equipment for the
Emergency Preparedness Division): The bill appropriates $187,000 from current
budget and balance of $62,000 from FY 14/15. CM Brown had some concerns about
not covering the entire amount now instead of waiting until next fiscal year.
2014-110 (waiving
Section 106.106(i) to not recapture the convention center enterprise fund): CM
Brown requested information about the total amount requested not to be
recaptured. Mr. Sherman stated $1.4 is the calculated recapture amount. However, the auditor’s office was
recommending $268,297.
