Chairman Schellenberg called the meeting to order and reviewed
the Auditor’s marked agenda which included 13 items marked for deferral, 22
items ready for action (1 withdrawal) and 14 items for second reading and
re-referral.
2015-594 (expressing Council’s support for legislative bill
J-1 to provide exceptions to space and seating requirements for liquor licenses
in several Riverside/Avondale commercial character areas): Council Member Love
indicated that one of two House representatives will sponsor the bill – Rep. Fant or Rep. Fullwood. In
response to a question from Chairman Schellenberg, Deputy General Counsel Peggy
Sidman explained that the Duval Legislative Delegation has a rule against
taking up proposed J-bills that don’t have a delegation sponsor, but the
delegation also has a long-standing practice by which the Chair of the
delegation will act as the sponsor for J-bills that don’t otherwise have a
sponsor. In response to a question, Director of Planning and Development Folks
Huxford reported that he has had informal discussion with the owner of Five
Points Village about potential interest in amending the bill to include that
property as well.
Council Member Wilson asked the Chair to take up 2015-613
(resolution declaring the City’s intent to achieve Bicycle Friendly Community
designation) early in the meeting.
