Chairman Dennis called the meeting to order and asked the attendees to introduce themselves. Mr. Dennis reviewed the Auditor’s marked agenda which included 14 items marked for deferral, 15 items ready for action (1 for substitute and re-referral) and 12 items for second reading and re-referral. He announced that at the beginning of the meeting the City’s external auditor – Carr, Riggs and Ingram – will make a presentation on the City’s annual financial report for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2016.

Chairman Dennis noted that there will be a public hearing on the DVI budget portion of 2017-504, the City’s budget ordinance. Council Member R. Brown asked for attorney Jason Teal and Tom Goldsbury of the Building Inspection Office to be present for discussion on 2017-519 (settlement of claims with 695 Investment Group). He said he had not received previously requested information and may ask for deferral. Council Member K. Brown requested deferral of 2017-552 (second amendment to land donation agreement with Kairos SIP Constructors) because Council Member Gulliford did not attend a noticed meeting she had scheduled to discuss the project and she has questions. Council Member Gaffney requested that the bill be taken up and voted up or down. Ali Shelton of the Mayor’s Office reported that she had heard from Council Member Gulliford this morning; he is out of town and requests that the bill be deferred.
