Council Minutes of 2/5/2008 i This was a rollover from Ord. 2007-10. There is a $50,000 buy down on the obligation. The purpose of original borrowing was for telecommunications equipment within this building-phones, etc. The committee recommended approval 2-1. • Ordinance 2008-15, an ordinance providing for the issuance and sale of $1,000,000 of notes in anticipation of the issuance of bonds for the purpose of improving certain designated streets in the city by preparing and surfacing and resurfacing with asphaltic concrete together with the necessary appurtenances and work incidental thereto. This is new borrowing to improve city streets in 2008 and was discussed in the Streets & Transportation Committee as well. The committee recommended approval 2-1. 3) Ordinance 2007-156 was also discussed this evening. This legislation was actually scheduled to be approved at the special Council meeting last week; however, there were some changes that needed to be made. The amendments will be made tonight. The committee heard the changes, but did not take action because it technically wasn't in committee. The legislation is an ordinance amending the organizational charts of the Engineering and Building Divisions of the city in order to deliver services from each division in a more efficient and economical manner. The amendments include Section II B, where it references a particular position. The legislation said we had one full-time property maintenance inspector and one seasonal property maintenance inspector. The Law Director pointed out that was in error. It should have read part-time property maintenance inspector. In the actual amended section under B, the hierarchy and organizational chart for the Building Division will include one part-time, backup, plumbing inspector and then the language is "two full-time property maintenance inspectors and one part-time property maintenance inspector." In C, the amendment will be that there will be three clerical workers designated by ordinance as Secretary II's.
