and 67 would have on the City. He had also been pleased by the interest people were taking in the EmX. He appreciated the comments Ms. Hutson had made regarding the Whiteaker neighborhood. Councilor Ortiz said she would like to look at the language in HB 3013. She thought it was “kind of a slam dunk.” She believed the resolution on BM 66 and 67 would be nearly as easy to discuss. She intended to look at bringing forward language in support of them, as well as in support of the Dream Act. Councilor Brown thanked everyone. He hoped they could craft a resolution in support of the Dream Act and for HB 3013 and that they could support both unanimously. He said he wholeheartedly supported BM 66 and 67, noting that he had a child who attended public schools. He averred that his business would have to pay a total of 38 cents per day more for the corporate fee. He wanted to pass a resolution in support of the measures. Councilor Taylor thanked everyone and, in particular, Ms. Hutson for her persistence. She felt that the resolutions that had been discussed were good. She said things on the coast still affected everyone. 2. CONSENT CALENDAR A.
