Summary
Fact Sheet DEFER Though this item had been marked for action, Council
Member E. Denise Lee indicated that she continued to have problems with the
proposed ordinance. She indicated that
she had talked with Elaine Spencer, Chief of Housing and Community
Development and to Karen Bowling, Chief Administrative Officer about the
matter and had requested that the Administration defer the proposed
legislation. She was particularly
agitated that the projects in the proposed legislation were given priority
for funding over older projects. The
Council Member indicated that she expects to offer an amendment to the
ordinance. Hearing no objections from
the panel, the Chair acceded to the Council Member's request and deferred the
item. |
