11:02:57 >>MIKE SUAREZ: Roll call.
11:09:31 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: Here.
11:09:38 >>LISA MONTELIONE: Here.
11:09:39 >>FRANK REDDICK: Here.
11:09:41 >>MIKE SUAREZ: Here.
11:09:41 Mrs. Mandell.
11:09:43 >>JULIA MANDELL: City attorney.
11:09:47 We started this special call session, discussing an
11:09:51 opportunity of changes as it relates to the audit process, I
11:09:59 provided you information as to strong mayor form of
11:10:01 government and where those functions lie.
11:10:03 Right now you have three items in front of you.
11:10:05 The first is a general discussion as the internal audit
11:10:08 process.
11:10:08 The second was a report back from me which I had given you a
11:10:14 written report relating to whether or not if the draft
11:10:20 internal audit was provided to the mayor for our current
11:10:23 process, as you requested, would also go to City Council at
11:10:28 the same time as the mayor receives the draft audit, whether
11:10:31 or not that would retain protections under the public
11:10:34 records law exemption for draft audit.
11:10:36 I researched that issue.
11:10:38 As indicated in the memo, I also had opportunity to have
11:10:44 discussion was the city of Miami and city of Jacksonville
11:10:45 and city of Orlando, and it is very clear both in the case
11:10:50 law, the statute and also with those conversations that
11:10:53 regardless of whether or not the internal audit function
11:10:56 falls under the legislative branch or under the executive
11:10:58 branch, at the moment in time that draft audit is given to
11:11:02 the legislative body, in this case City Council, that no
11:11:06 longer retains the exemption under public records law.
11:11:10 So that is answering the question and the issue that I
11:11:13 raised at the last proceeding in which we spoke about this.
11:11:16 In addition I provided late yesterday a memorandum under
11:11:20 which per your motion I am providing you language relating
11:11:24 to City Council having the right to require internal auditor
11:11:30 to do an internal audit on the basis of age, super majority
11:11:36 vote of council.
11:11:37 I have also provided within that language some bracketed
11:11:40 language, and I have also provided some additional options
11:11:43 per other motions of council which did not seem to fall
11:11:46 under this agenda but I figure that it would be more
11:11:50 appropriate for us to discuss everything together versus
11:11:53 piecemealing the conversation.
11:11:56 You will see within the body of that memorandum, I have the
11:11:59 underlined language under which I add the language that City
11:12:04 Council has requested, and I have bracketed language that
11:12:08 says as provided pursuant to ordinance.
11:12:12 In addition I have provided the language that would be
11:12:14 necessary for your other motion which includes the internal
11:12:17 auditor shall provide the City Council on a yearly basis
11:12:21 it's scheduled audit which schedule shall include expected
11:12:23 start dates.
11:12:25 Number 2, all final internal audits must be delivered to
11:12:28 City Council within so many days -- and I left that blank
11:12:31 per your previous motion, any draft audit presented to the
11:12:37 mayor, and third which is part of the discussion you had but
11:12:40 I put it in here for your continuing discussion the number
11:12:43 of internal audits that can be provided by City Council is
11:12:47 limited to blank per year, and I didn't put a number in,
11:12:50 because I thought it was more appropriate for you to
11:12:54 continue to have that part of the discussion.
11:12:57 I should explain the reason why I put in that bracketed
11:13:00 language.
11:13:01 After discussing this matter with individual council members
11:13:05 and with Mr. Shelby, the thought is that you have the
11:13:11 option -- and this would be your option -- to instead of
11:13:14 putting in the one, two and three, directly within your
11:13:18 charter, you could put language in there as I suggested
11:13:22 which would allow you to provide the process for you to seek
11:13:27 your internal audits as you put within your charter, would
11:13:31 have the right to do.
11:13:33 The process within ordinance.
11:13:35 And then as part of that, you could delineate the number of
11:13:39 audits you can request, the process that you receive, the
11:13:44 schedule for the internal audits, in order to make
11:13:46 additional requests for audit.
11:13:49 It would probably be appropriate for you to know the audit
11:13:52 is coming down the line before you make those requests.
11:13:55 And while I understand that information is online, I
11:13:58 understood from council that you wanted to have that
11:14:00 directed towards you at the beginning of the process, as
11:14:04 well as what the number of days is, time frames, and those
11:14:09 types of things.
11:14:09 So that language would give you flexibility to put in your
11:14:13 audit -- I'm sorry, in your ordinance, issues related to
11:14:17 audit that would allow you to delineate the process without
11:14:22 putting that directly in your charter.
11:14:24 So those are the options that I am promulgating to you.
11:14:27 I know it's a little bit more than you had placed in the
11:14:29 motion for today's meeting.
11:14:31 However I thought as I said it would be more appropriate to
11:14:34 discuss this all together, because as you know, if you do
11:14:39 decide that you want to put something on the ballot for this
11:14:42 year as it relates to a charter amendment, that has to be --
11:14:46 the process needs to be completed and to the supervisor of
11:14:49 elections at the date of the primary, which I believe is
11:14:53 August 31st, and Mr. Shelby -- I'm sorry, 30th --
11:14:58 will correct me if I am wrong.
11:14:59 So you will need an ordinance in order to put this towards
11:15:04 the ballot, on the ballot, as part of the general election
11:15:09 in November, which you need time to be able to go through
11:15:12 the ordinance process properly, and to go ahead and get this
11:15:17 accomplished.
11:15:17 So that's really all I have for you today.
11:15:21 I would encourage you to discuss the process that you would
11:15:24 like to see.
11:15:26 And I also know that you do have a charter review commission
11:15:28 that's coming up as well that's not part of your
11:15:31 conversation today.
11:15:31 But I did want to remind council of that.
11:15:34 Thank you.
11:15:34 >>MIKE SUAREZ: Thank you.
11:15:37 Mr. Cohen.
11:15:38 >>HARRY COHEN: Just to get the conversation going I think
11:15:39 90 or 120 days is a reasonable amount of time.
11:15:44 I am open to whatever council's pleasure is in terms of
11:15:48 limiting the number of audits either in the charter language
11:15:52 or by ordinance.
11:15:53 But I think it's important that the reason you limit the
11:15:56 number of audits that could be called for in any one year is
11:15:59 just because for budget reasons the audit department has to
11:16:03 be -- you can't give them ten audits in a year.
11:16:06 They just don't have the ability, I think, to do it.
11:16:09 So-so I thought the number maybe was three.
11:16:12 But I'm open to other people's comments on that.
11:16:16 >>MIKE SUAREZ: Any other discussion?
11:16:19 Mrs. Montelione.
11:16:20 >>LISA MONTELIONE: I agree with Councilman Cohen, 90 days
11:16:26 is a reasonable time frame.
11:16:30 I think that puts some structure.
11:16:34 It's not too much to ask.
11:16:36 And the number of audits, three sounds reasonable.
11:16:45 Maybe four.
11:16:46 Either one.
11:16:48 A quarter.
11:16:51 So three or four.
11:16:52 We have the ability once a quarter to ask for a special
11:16:55 audit.
11:16:55 That doesn't mean we are going to.
11:16:57 It just gives us opportunity to.
11:16:59 So I would go with four.
11:17:03 By charter, by ordinance, I would say, you know, charter is
11:17:07 permanent.
11:17:08 Ordinances can be changed.
11:17:10 So my preference would be to go the charter route so that it
11:17:19 is a permanent fixture and could not be easily changed by an
11:17:25 incoming council.
11:17:26 >>MIKE SUAREZ: If I could in terms of the charter, I think
11:17:29 what Mrs. Mandell was trying to say to us is that you put
11:17:32 the power of ordering the audits within the charter and then
11:17:35 within the ordinance charter language would refer to the
11:17:38 ordinance for the specifics, meaning the time frame, the
11:17:43 numbers, that type of thing.
11:17:45 So what I would probably do with the ordinance language --
11:17:49 I'm excuse me, the charter language, would be you are
11:17:51 allowed to do this, and those specifics are within the
11:17:54 ordinance.
11:17:54 So that I think is what Mrs. Mandell was discussing.
11:17:58 So Mr. Miranda is next.
11:17:59 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I agree with your assessment,
11:18:03 Mr. Chairman.
11:18:03 I believe if you are looking for something like this you
11:18:06 have the power to do it and then whoever is deciding the
11:18:09 fact, which would be, I guess, us at some point, to discuss
11:18:12 how many.
11:18:13 I certainly don't want -- but remember with this comes a
11:18:16 responsibility.
11:18:17 If you ask for it, then it's up to you to interpret it and
11:18:20 what are you going to do with it once you interpret it and
11:18:23 how you are going to carry out, which has been a tremendous
11:18:25 responsibility up to now.
11:18:26 And there is an election coming up in 2019 for some office
11:18:29 called mayor, and I don't know how many of you are
11:18:31 interested in it, but whatever you vote for, you can divide
11:18:39 it by 7, and you look at it --
11:18:42 >> Depends on how things start out.
11:18:44 >> The first three months, a week and a half.
11:18:48 It's not a joking matter but it is at this point in the
11:18:51 discussion, anyway.
11:18:52 And it is that whatever you do, it's your responsibility to
11:18:58 ask, and that's all I am going to say.
11:19:01 Because God bless you if you come back with something you
11:19:04 don't like, then you are going to want -- you wanted it, you
11:19:08 got it, handle it.
11:19:09 >>MIKE SUAREZ: Mrs. Capin.
11:19:12 >>YVONNE CAPIN: [Off microphone.] as to the four, would you
11:19:17 limit that to one per quarter?
11:19:21 Let's say one at throw months and not more than --
11:19:25 >>LISA MONTELIONE: Yeah, I would just say four a year. We
11:19:28 might ask for two.
11:19:29 But that might run simultaneously.
11:19:32 They might start a month apart from each other.
11:19:35 I wouldn't want to limit -- to restrict, let's put that the
11:19:39 way.
11:19:39 >>JULIA MANDELL: The only comment I was going to make is if
11:19:43 you choose to have the simplified language that just
11:19:48 provides that you will determine how you are going to
11:19:50 process your ability to request internal audits per
11:19:55 ordinance, that is not something that you need to decide
11:20:00 today.
11:20:01 I will also tell you that in terms of how, and one a
11:20:07 quarter, that really does need to be a discussion that
11:20:10 relates to the schedule of audits and within the internal
11:20:13 auditor at the time the request is made, because the
11:20:15 internal auditor from the way I understand the process, the
11:20:18 beginning of the year, comes up with a schedule, and that
11:20:20 schedule typically includes some form of a start date, and
11:20:25 so I think that the best process for you would be to, when
11:20:30 you do an ordinance for this, is to have input from the
11:20:33 internal auditor as to how they would like to see any audit
11:20:38 that City Council might request pursuant to a super majority
11:20:42 involved in the schedule which is one of the reasons I think
11:20:44 it was important, and it's going to be important if you have
11:20:48 an ordinance that comes after the charter amendment, that
11:20:53 you also have that opportunity to see the schedule prior to
11:20:56 making whatever motion you want to add to it.
11:20:59 >>YVONNE CAPIN: And when you mentioned the schedule, we
11:21:04 talked about that.
11:21:05 And I remember the last auditor saying that to me and how
11:21:10 that worked.
11:21:11 And so when we look at the schedule, because of this one or
11:21:18 two by super majority, we could actually look at the
11:21:22 schedule and feel that maybe one of the not choices of the
11:21:28 mayor is one that we want to look at.
11:21:31 >>JULIA MANDELL: And again I think that's why in talking to
11:21:36 council, I felt that possibly doing it this way where you
11:21:39 can set this up in ordinance that would allow you that
11:21:44 opportunity to delineate the best process.
11:21:46 >>YVONNE CAPIN: Right.
11:21:48 I understand that.
11:21:49 So what we want to do now is decide to move on the charter,
11:21:56 voting if we want to move it --
11:21:59 >>JULIA MANDELL: What I would like -- what I think would be
11:22:02 the best approach today, since we are in a special called
11:22:05 session, but I don't have an ordinance that I am presenting
11:22:07 to you, is to request the legal department to come back
11:22:11 where an ordinance, and to utilize the underlying language
11:22:19 including that bracketed language, I will take the brackets
11:22:22 out, as the basis of that ordinance.
11:22:24 I can come forward with an ordinance with the correct
11:22:28 language for the ballot for you to review and have your
11:22:33 first reading on, and given the time frame, I can make my
11:22:36 best effort to try to get that to you by next week.
11:22:39 I don't know that it would be that complicated.
11:22:41 But I am not the expert on writing ballot language.
11:22:44 So we'll need to look towards others in that regard.
11:22:47 But at least I can promulgate something to you by either the
11:22:50 next meeting or I don't know what the meeting is after that.
11:22:55 >>MIKE SUAREZ: The 14th.
11:22:56 >>JULIA MANDELL: I can absolutely do it by the 14th.
11:22:59 >>YVONNE CAPIN: If that's the case, I would like to move
11:23:02 for that, for that motion, to bring that ordinance or that
11:23:06 language for the ballot.
11:23:10 And if it comes back next week is fine.
11:23:12 I will not be here, but I will probably see it -- I'm sure I
11:23:17 will see the ordinance.
11:23:18 And if there's any issues, I can get with you.
11:23:21 But otherwise, I'm fine if it comes back next week and vote
11:23:26 on it.
11:23:27 >>HARRY COHEN: Can I ask for clarification of the details?
11:23:30 We are going to go with 90 days?
11:23:35 Oh, super majority is going to be part of it?
11:23:39 >>YVONNE CAPIN: Not now.
11:23:41 When we bring the ordinance --
11:23:44 >>JULIA MANDELL: The language that I promulgated --
11:23:46 (Overlapping conversations).
11:23:48 >>YVONNE CAPIN: I don't have my glasses on.
11:23:53 >>JULIA MANDELL: I am going read the whole thing. This is
11:23:55 the existing language in the charter.
11:23:57 And I will let you know the additional language.
11:24:00 It's the section under the internal audit department,
11:24:05 internal auditing for the city, the internal auditor shall
11:24:08 the head of the department and shall be the duty of the
11:24:10 internal auditor to audit for each fiscal year all records
11:24:15 of the city and all accounts in which the city has an
11:24:18 interest.
11:24:18 The auditor shall perform what other audits as may be
11:24:22 required by the mayor and the City Council shall have the
11:24:24 right to require the internal auditor to perform additional
11:24:28 internal audits with a super majority vote of City Council
11:24:30 as provided for pursuant to ordinance -- I'm sorry, that's
11:24:34 in addition, the language there, the "in addition" language.
11:24:38 So what that would do, you would put that in your charter,
11:24:41 and then assuming we get through the entire process, and
11:24:45 this gets placed within your charter, then we will come back
11:24:48 and we will -- you will need to make more significant
11:24:52 decisions as to the process under which City Council will
11:24:57 ask for additional internal audits.
11:25:00 And I think at that point in time when that process is
11:25:03 delineated, it's within your ordinance, you can have greater
11:25:06 conversations about how many you think you should be able to
11:25:08 request.
11:25:09 What the process is for requesting those, and have some
11:25:13 additional input as it relates to those things from your
11:25:16 internal auditor, because keeping in mind -- and I think
11:25:19 anytime you ask for an audit, whether it's the mayor asks
11:25:22 for an audit or if this were to pass, you ask for an audit,
11:25:26 there is a budgetary and resource portion of that, and I
11:25:30 think that having the input on a more specific basis will be
11:25:35 important.
11:25:35 >>MIKE SUAREZ: We have our motion by Mrs. Capin, a second
11:25:39 from Mr. Cohen.
11:25:41 Can I make a suggestion?
11:25:44 Mrs. Mandell, if you can answer this question for me.
11:25:46 The July 14th date -- and I would suggest July 14th
11:25:49 because we do have an incredibly full schedule next week,
11:25:53 and you won't be here.
11:25:54 So if we could ask for July 14th.
11:25:56 But where does that put us in terms of time frame to put it
11:26:00 before voters?
11:26:03 >>JULIA MANDELL: When would we have second reading, I guess
11:26:06 would be the question.
11:26:06 >>MIKE SUAREZ: Because that's still not a public hearing
11:26:09 yet.
11:26:09 >>JULIA MANDELL: That's two readings, one public hearing,
11:26:14 and you need ten days in between.
11:26:15 >>MARTIN SHELBY: The calendar has August 4th.
11:26:18 >>MIKE SUAREZ: So we would have to have -- you would bring
11:26:23 back the ordinance.
11:26:26 Mrs. Mandell?
11:26:27 >>JULIA MANDELL: I'm sorry.
11:26:28 >>MIKE SUAREZ: You would bring back the ordinance.
11:26:30 Then we would have to have two public hearings prior to that
11:26:33 during a regular session, correct?
11:26:35 >>JULIA MANDELL: That's correct.
11:26:36 >>MIKE SUAREZ: If we look at our calendar --
11:26:40 >>JULIA MANDELL: You can have those -- as long as those two
11:26:42 readings -- as long as there's two readings are ten days
11:26:46 apart in terms of our notice, that's the legal requirement.
11:26:50 So if you had -- if you needed to do --
11:26:53 >>MIKE SUAREZ: Do the 14th and then August 4th.
11:26:57 I just want to make sure.
11:26:58 >>MARTIN SHELBY: I'm sorry, not to complicate things, but
11:27:09 just so you are informed, you also have to allow for the
11:27:11 possibility -- and I say that would be the case of
11:27:14 possibility of mayoral veto, in which case there is a
11:27:17 process and time frame to come back to you.
11:27:22 >>MIKE SUAREZ: And to go to that point, the administration
11:27:27 has been notified, we have talked about this.
11:27:30 There's not been any discussion during any of our reviews
11:27:35 and discussion about this item to show that there is any
11:27:37 pushback from the mayor.
11:27:39 Now, having said that, that doesn't mean that he's not going
11:27:41 to veto it.
11:27:42 But we still have to work with our calendar as we have here.
11:27:45 Whether or not he vetoes it is up to him.
11:27:48 We have to go based on what we have gotten and the calendar
11:27:51 we have in front of us.
11:27:52 So I am going to prepare as if the mayor is going to sign it
11:27:57 which I think he will.
11:27:59 Okay.
11:27:59 >>FRANK REDDICK: [Off microphone.]
11:28:07 >>MARTIN SHELBY: Yes, every ordinance that may be passed by
11:28:10 council shall be presented before becoming measure.
11:28:15 If not he shall return it with objections to council and
11:28:18 such objections shall be acted upon and the council
11:28:21 thereupon shall proceed to reconsider the ordinance at the
11:28:24 next regular meeting after which there is a quorum.
11:28:27 After reconsideration, it shall be passed by two-thirds of
11:28:31 all members.
11:28:32 A vote shall be passed and it shall become law F.knot any in
11:28:37 accordance not returned to the council after 14 days after
11:28:40 presented to the mayor the same shall become effective in
11:28:42 like manner as if he had signed it.
11:28:45 >>MIKE SUAREZ: Language on, before we go forward, we have a
11:28:49 motion on the floor before we continue with that particular
11:28:52 motion.
11:28:53 Hang on, Mrs. Montelione.
11:28:55 I want to make sure we are straight because I am looking at
11:28:57 our will calendar. If we go to August 4th as the second
11:29:01 reading that gets passed that day, he will have then from
11:29:04 that point forward how many days?
11:29:08 14?
11:29:09 >>JULIA MANDELL: 14 days.
11:29:11 And respond within 14 days, it becomes law.
11:29:19 >>MIKE SUAREZ: Within that 14-day period.
11:29:21 So we are looking at the 25th is, you know, still 21
11:29:26 days.
11:29:26 So we would still have time to override that veto at that
11:29:29 time, and still meet our requirements to be able to put it
11:29:33 on the ballot.
11:29:34 Correct?
11:29:35 >>JULIA MANDELL: That's correct.
11:29:36 >>MIKE SUAREZ: I want to make sure there's a time frame.
11:29:38 Does everyone understand the time frame that we have?
11:29:42 Any other discussion on the motion?
11:29:43 Mrs. Montelione.
11:29:44 >>LISA MONTELIONE: [Off microphone.]
11:29:50 >>JULIA MANDELL: I'm sorry,.
11:29:53 >>LISA MONTELIONE: I mean, we have on the 23rd, we have
11:30:00 morning regular session.
11:30:02 And we have an evening session.
11:30:05 We have -- and then the July 14th meeting.
11:30:08 We don't have -- between the 23rd and the 14th, we
11:30:13 won't have it any meetings.
11:30:14 So could we take that first vote after the -- or during the
11:30:22 evening session?
11:30:24 >>JULIA MANDELL: If you don't have any 5:00.
11:30:26 >>LISA MONTELIONE: We have City Council evening session at
11:30:28 5:30 on the 23rd.
11:30:30 We have got a text amendment.
11:30:31 The action plan.
11:30:32 >>HARRY COHEN: But she's still not here.
11:30:39 That's the point.
11:30:39 >>LISA MONTELIONE: But didn't we talk about voting by
11:30:41 electronic --
11:30:44 >>YVONNE CAPIN: I did talk about it but I can't.
11:30:53 They may frown upon me.
11:30:56 (Laughter)
11:31:03 (multiple conversations).
11:31:06 >>MIKE SUAREZ: Mrs. Montelione.
11:31:08 It.
11:31:08 >>LISA MONTELIONE: Did I hear you say that had you were
11:31:11 okay were taking the vote if you are not being here?
11:31:14 >>YVONNE CAPIN: I did.
11:31:15 But, you know, my colleagues have put forth that they prefer
11:31:20 that we have -- that I be here, and if the time frameworks,
11:31:27 I didn't think the time frame was going to work.
11:31:29 That's why I agreed.
11:31:30 But apparently the time frameworks.
11:31:31 So I'm okay with -- if you want me to put the July 14, if
11:31:39 that time frameworks I'm okay.
11:31:41 I didn't think it was going to work.
11:31:43 >>LISA MONTELIONE: I'm just, you know, leaving it till the
11:31:47 last possible day and time.
11:31:51 I mean, they could come up with something, come back with
11:31:55 something, and I'm really, really hesitant to cut it down to
11:32:01 the wire.
11:32:02 >>MIKE SUAREZ: We still have the motion on the floor that
11:32:05 is set for July 14th.
11:32:12 Let's clear the -- you know, if you have a question of Mrs.
11:32:16 Mandell?
11:32:17 >>LISA MONTELIONE: Well, there seems to be a lot of
11:32:19 discussion so I want to know what they are talking about
11:32:21 that they might have concerns about.
11:32:23 There's a lot of discussion, it means something.
11:32:25 >>JULIA MANDELL: It was just going back and forth on the
11:32:28 number of days and Marty clarified that.
11:32:30 So in terms of mayor veto, and that's clarified.
11:32:35 And we just were making sure that we didn't think there was
11:32:38 going to be an issue with notice and we don't think there
11:32:40 will be.
11:32:42 All that being said if you like I can bring it back 5:01 on
11:32:45 the evening agenda.
11:32:46 That would give me enough time to make sure you got it with
11:32:49 enough time to review it.
11:32:50 Otherwise the 14th I think would work in terms of
11:32:53 procedurally getting you where you want to be, and from a
11:32:56 time frame perspective.
11:32:58 So either one at the pleasure of council.
11:33:09 If I find out I'm wrong on this, I will make sure that you
11:33:13 are aware of that at your next meeting.
11:33:15 But there is an additional notice requirement should -- I
11:33:19 mean, newspaper notice requirement should the mayor veto it,
11:33:23 and it needs to come back to you.
11:33:25 >>LISA MONTELIONE: And that's what I am afraid of.
11:33:27 Because you and I have been -- that's usually where things
11:33:33 go wrong.
11:33:34 >>JULIA MANDELL: That is the only issue and I'm not even
11:33:37 sure that would be a problem.
11:33:38 And so if you want to leave the schedule for the 14th, I
11:33:41 can always make sure you are aware of it.
11:33:49 I think you have enough time either way.
11:33:52 >>MIKE SUAREZ: We have a motion on the floor.
11:33:54 The maker of the motion still wants it on the 14th?
11:33:59 >>JULIA MANDELL: In the event -- I'm sorry, let me
11:34:02 interrupt.
11:34:02 In the event I do find out throws a notice issue, I will be
11:34:05 prepared to walk it on on the 23rd.
11:34:07 >>MIKE SUAREZ: Okay.
11:34:09 Mr. Reddick, any questions?
11:34:10 All right.
11:34:11 I have a motion by Mrs. Capin.
11:34:12 I have a second by Mr. Cohen.
11:34:14 Yes, ma'am?
11:34:15 >>LISA MONTELIONE: Can we amend the motion to say what Mrs.
11:34:18 Mandell just said, that if there is an issue with the
11:34:22 notice, that if this will be a walk-on item at 5:01 on June
11:34:29 23rd?
11:34:30 >>MIKE SUAREZ: A friendly amendment.
11:34:32 >> I accept it.
11:34:33 >>MIKE SUAREZ: Motion by Mrs. Capin.
11:34:35 Second by Mr. Cohen with a friendly amendment by Mrs.
11:34:39 Montelione.
11:34:40 All in favor?
11:34:41 Any opposed?
11:34:42 Thank you very much.
11:34:42 >>FRANK REDDICK: And have the legal department walk over to
11:34:45 the mayor and ask him if he's going to veto it or not.
11:34:48 (Laughter).
11:34:52 >> We can pass it unanimously.
11:34:54 >>MIKE SUAREZ: I think Mr. Cohen makes a joke of it but
11:34:57 that is actually the main factor we are going to deal with,
11:35:00 which is if we pass it unanimously, I think he's going to
11:35:03 know that if he vetoes it, it's still going to get passed.
11:35:07 All right.
11:35:07 Any other issues concerning this particular item during our
11:35:10 special call are? Any other discussion item?
11:35:13 Can I have a motion to receive and file?
11:35:16 I have a motion by Mr. Maniscalco.
11:35:18 Second by Mr. Reddick.
11:35:19 All in favor of that motion?
11:35:20 Any opposed?
11:35:21 Thank you.
11:35:22 We are adjourned.
