Meeting Convened:
1:30 p.m.
Chairman Schellenberg called the meeting to order and reviewed
the Auditor’s marked agenda which included 17 items marked for deferral, 21
items ready for action (3 for withdrawal, 1 for emergency action, 1 for
substitution and re-referral) and 10 items for second reading and re-referral.
Mr. Schellenberg announced that Paul Crawford, Acting
Executive Director of the Office of Economic Development, would be making a
brief presentation regarding the recent newspaper articles concerning the
non-use of the funds in the Access to Capital program. He also announced that
all mayoral appointments proposed by the previous administration will be
deferred until the new administration has an opportunity to review and advise on them.
2015-150 (authorizing an Interlocal agreement between the
City and JEA to provide for amendments to the JEA annual contribution contract
and to provide a mechanism to fund PFPF unfunded liability amortization
payments): Council Member Hazouri expressed a preference for deferring rather
than withdrawing the bill so as to keep the proposed mechanism as a viable
option until a final amortization method is chosen.
2015-469/470/41/472 (honoring and commending resolutions):
Chairman Schellenberg will suggest that amendments be moved to add all Rules
Committee members as co-sponsors of these bills.
2015-426/427/429 (amendments to various Ordinance Code
sections regarding stormwater utility funds, grant administration and CIP
budgeting and reporting): Mr. Schellenberg noted for the benefit of new
committee members that these three bills derive from the work of the Special
CIP Committee that is continuing to meet and nearing finalization of its work.
