Chairwoman Brosche called the meeting to order and asked the
attendees to introduce themselves. Ms. Brosche reviewed the Auditor’s marked
agenda which included 8 items marked for deferral, 22 items ready for action (1
requested for withdrawal, 5 requested for emergency action, 1 to be substituted
and re-referred to committees) and 12 items for second reading and re-referral.
The Chair announced that the Council Auditor will present
the findings of Audit #797 – Property Appraiser’s Office Save Our Homes Portability
Calculations. The special meeting topic today will be a presentation by Tim
Johnson, Executive Director of the Police and Fire Pension Fund.
Council Member Reggie Brown urged the committee to defer or
withdraw ordinances 2017-426 (appropriating funding for an opioid epidemic
pilot intervention program) and 2017-442 (appropriating funding for additional
swim lessons) on the grounds that the City has not explored avenues for state
and federal funding before investing local funds into those efforts.
