No one from the public spoke either in favor of or in opposition to the bill. Committeemember Gavin Ferlic made a motion to send Bill 50 -16 to the full Council with a favorable recommendation. Committeemember John Voorde seconded the motion which carried by a voice vote of four (4) ayes. Committee Chair White stated if there is going to be any discussion on the road prior to the passage of the whole budget the Council needs to know. It needs to be open for more than just AM General. Councilmember Oliver Davis asked the Council Attorney to send a letter to the Mayor and to County Officials regarding the closure of Chippewa so that they respond before the budget comes to a vote. Bill No. 51 -16 — September Transfer Funds John Murphy, City Controller with offices on the 12th Floor of the County -City Building, served as the presenter and petitioner of these bills. Mr. Murphy stated these are not additional appropriations but transfers between categories within the accounting system. The first are transfers in the Parks Department. We also made a change of where we are paying instructors. We like to pay them out of the services account rather than the payroll account because they're not really employees. We also had a small transfer to cover overtime in Central Services. The next is in the Parks Fund to purchase new equipment. The last is in the Water Works Fund where we want to conduct an agreement to develop a compliance plan for lead and copper roles and we have some additional funding for that. These are just relocations of money within a particular fund. No one from the public spoke in favor of or in opposition to the bill. Committeemember Gavin Ferlic made a motion to send Bill 51 -16 to the full Council with a favorable recommendation. Committeemember John Voorde seconded the motion which carried by a voice vote of four (4) ayes. Bill No. 49 -16 — September Civil City Appropriation (Continued) Committee Chair White stated the Clerk's Office distributed the minutes of the meeting previously discussed. The Committee read over the minutes. Committee Chair White stated at that point it is her opinion that the Councilmembers left the meeting with the understanding that we will have opportunity to weigh in on how those dollars will be spent because it was the first time that we heard that dollars were available. Mr. Murphy asked if there was any objection to anything other than the 2016 special distribution that's on the list for the Civil City. If there is not, perhaps the Council could move forward with those tonight and have further discussion on the special distribution. Councilmember Davis stated he would be at peace with that. C
