REGULAR MEETING OCTOBERT 28, 2013 about the phasing in. In terms of Phase 1A; Phase 1B that the administration will be submitting an amendment to address the wells for New Energy; A question in regard to conversations with TRANSPO; Traffic Count, Enforcement for speeding, parking; a more comprehensive plan that would detail the dollar amount that is before us. These are some of the questions or comments that I have heard Councilmember’s and we can also refer back to the transcript of this meeting. At this time, we have others that have to move towards and you will have the opportunity on Wednesday. I would ask that you submit your questions to the Chairperson of the Personnel & Finance Committee, hopefully, by noon tomorrow and those questions can be directed to the Administration and have time for discussion. Councilmember Dieter made a motion to continue Bill No. 45-13 until the October 30, 2013 Special Meeting of the Council. Councilmember Schey seconded the motion. Chairperson White: That is not the correct motion. Council Attorney Kathleen Cekanski-Farrand: That is not correct. To continue Bill No. 45-13 in the Council Portion Only and have Third Reading at the Special Common Council Meeting on October 30, 2013. Councilmember Oliver Davis made a motion to continue Bill No. 45-13 in the Council Portion Only and have Third Reading at the Special Common Council Meeting on October 30, 2013. Councilmember Scott seconded the motion which carried by a voice vote of nine (9) ayes. Chairperson White: Again, I would ask Councilmembers that if you have any additional questions that you would address those to the Chairperson of the Personnel & Finance Committee and submit those directly to the administration as well. Council Attorney Kathleen Cekanski-Farrand: I would also suggest that Bill 45-13 is the General Fund and 49 other Funds; there are several recommendations that the Council had set forth to the administration so depending if those are going to be addressed in Dr. Varner’s committee meeting that you have those as well. Chairperson White: And that list that the Councilmember’s prepared hopefully each Councilmember has a copy of those additional areas of concerns. If not we can receive a copy from the Clerk’s Office. Councilmember Varner: I would ask if anyone who wants to submit to the Personnel & Finance Committee something for consideration, something in which you intend to for subsequent consideration perhaps ask for action on, that we have those by first thing tomorrow or noon at the very latest. I think that in order to get a reasonable response to that, I would like to know that everybody’s knows what is on the table. So, to that extent, if we can receive all of those in advance, I would be happy to see that they are made available to all the interested parties. Councilmember Oliver Davis: Madame Chairperson, when we send that by e-mail, to do a cc to the Council. Chairperson White: Yes Councilmember Dr. David Varner: I think that is a great idea. Councilmember Oliver Davis: That way it’s not just sent to Dr. Varner, but sent to Dr. Varner plus cc to the Council and our Attorney. So we can all have a clear understanding of what coming through. Council Attorney Kathleen Cekanski-Farrand: And I will make sure that the Administration receives a summary. Councilmember Schey: Point of order and the Clerk’s Office so that it is a matter of public record. 12
