Assistant Council Auditor Janice Billy reviewed the Auditor’s marked agenda which included 11 items to be deferred, 1 item to be withdrawn, 22 items ready for action, and 11 items to be read a second time and re-referred.

With regard to 2009-211 (sustainable building program) Ms. Billy reported that the Rules Committee had adopted a substitute earlier in the day and recommended that Finance take up that substitute. With regard to 2009-216 (appropriation to the Community Foundation for the Community Safety Net Fund), Ms. Billy reported that the Rules Committee had adopted a substitute earlier in the day, but that subsequent to that meeting the Office of General Counsel had produced another substitute that incorporated the Rules action but added an additional provision to address issues raised by Council Member Yarborough during that committee meeting. She recommended that the committee move the Finance Substitute.

There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 1:40 p.m.
