4. Items from Members and Staff
Ms. Wilson reported that that she would be bringing 19 bills to the City Council for discussion at the
February 28 meeting. She reminded the committee that she would be in Washington, DC, that night and
Adam Walsh would represent her before the council. She would call in and be prepared to answer
questions. She suggested that the committee might wish to reduce the number of bills on the list, and
proposed that the bills that had been the subject of a motion that received no second be dropped,
particularly since none had been scheduled for a hearing. Mayor Piercy pointed that no one was precluded
from bringing up one of the bills in question on February 28.
Mr. Clark, seconded by Mr. Poling, moved to drop the bills that were the subject of a
motion that did not receive a second from the report forwarded to the council on February
28 in keeping with current CCIGR rules.
Mr. Clark accepted a friendly amendment from Ms. Taylor that staff would continue to track the bills in
question and would bring them back to the committee if they began to make progress.
The motion passed unanimously, 3:0.
The committee rescheduled its March 2 meeting to March 3 at 11 a.m.
Mr. Poling adjourned the meeting at 2:05 p.m.
