Kyle Billy explained the components of the amendment (appended to the Council Auditor’s Office’s marked atenda).

 

There was a lengthy discussion on the item.  Council Member Matt Schellenberg wanted to know why floors 4 & 6 were being renovated, and floors 4 & 5 were not.  He had questions about the source of the funds for the appropriation, as well.  Council Members Greg Anderson and Reggie Brown raised questions, as well.  John Jones, Real Estate Division Chief, Public Works Department, fielded the questions.  Council Member Schellenberg moved to defer the item until the numerous questions raised in the course of questioning and discussion were addressed and resolved.  The Chair concurred.
