This Council meeting is an hour and half long. To access the agenda and the agenda staff analysis, follow this link. The Vice mayor explains that the council is meeting under unusual circumstances and with special precautions. Only essential agenda items are considered and Council members are physically spread out to conform to recommended "social distancing," about half are in their seats and the others are spread out in the audience seating area. Members of the public are not admitted and staff is reduced.
At timestamp 8 - 32:32 the Council hears from various health officials and United Way about the city's response to the Coronavirus. It is presented by live feed and watched on monitors. The presentations about the virus are well done but you do not hear anything that you have not probably already heard a dozen times on one of the 24-hour news channels.
Most items on the agenda are deferred one meeting. Most that are considered pass with little discussion and are routine matters. This is one of interest.
Resolution RS2020-213 authorizes the issuance of up to $154,000,000 in general obligation bonds to provide funding for various projects contained in the Mayor proposed capital spending plan. It is substituted, changing the about to $180 million. The increases are resulting from the needs related to the tornado damages. Some efforts are made to add projects but they fail. The resolution passes.
