MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS President Saringer assigned Ordinance 2000-31 to the Transportation Committee; Ordinances 2000-32, 2000-33 and 2000-34 to the Finance Committee. Mr. Limpert said he had wanted to be recognized earlier to say that he does not believe Councilman Nashar is in any violation of his promise to keep the residents in that area informed since the legislation is only on first reading and, under normal circumstances, would not be discussed as much as it was this evening. It would be Mr. Nashar's obligation to inform the residents about the committee meeting Mrs. Kasler reported that the Community Development Block Grant meeting was held on March 30. As chairperson of the Legislative Committee, she is a member of the CDBG Committee and is looking forward to the process of choosing projects for this year. Everyone on the committee is excited and interested in the process. The application is due in the fall, so a rigorous schedule of meetings has been set up. She will keep Council apprised of the progress of the committee. Mrs. Kasler scheduled a Legislative Committee meeting for 6:30 p.m. on April 24 to discuss Ordinances 2000-25. School superintendent Fenton or his representative will be invited to attend. The committee will continue its meeting at 7:15 for discussion of Ordinance 99-54. Union officials and representatives of the Associated Builders and Contractors will be invited to attend. Mr. O'Grady reiterated to the neighbors from Bradley Road that it is extremely unusual that an ordinance placed on first reading would be discussed before Council the same evening. What generally happens is that it is read and assigned to a committee where the discussion takes place. It is his expectation that Mr. Nashar intended to contact the residents about the committee meeting. Mr. McKay scheduled a Finance Committee meeting for Wednesday, April 12, at 6 p.m. to discuss Ordinances 2000-32, 33 and 34. The Mayor is asked to attend. Mr. Limpert suggested that Council members who have questions for the Finance Director submit them in writing since she will not be able to attend the meeting. ;,~. 8 ~= ~ . ~...
