Chair Ishae Collins moved to add the walk-in legislation to the day’s agenda and the committee approved adding the item by voice vote earlier in the meeting. Staff (Overton) told the committee there was no tracking (ELMS) number available for the submission and that the body would need to accept the legislation “as is” and use a voice vote when the item itself was reached.

Councilman Howard Shook chose to have the committee read the caption rather than the full text. The caption read in the meeting recommends that the Department of Finance provide monthly reports to the finance executive committee as set out in the caption, that the administration continue to operate the vacancy review board, and that the Department of Finance provide a report on the final 2025 fiscal [caption truncated in transcript].

Speaking during the meeting’s public comment period, Brother Anthony Muhammad said, “we got so many people continue to live on the street” and urged council members to represent “people that don't even have access to pay for rent.” He invoked historical and constitutional references, saying, “according to citizenship, it is the 13, 14, and 15 amendment that said that we, who look like brother Anthony Muhammad and the majority members of this sick, should have the same benefits as the Caucasian.”

Muhammad told the committee he had spoken with the city attorney about representation and said he was told “I can't do nothing.” He said he has been coming to make comments since prior administrations and asked for follow-up from the committee, adding, “When I come down and make comments, we shouldn't have to come down and make comments, and we don't get nothing said.”

The committee response in the transcript is limited to an acknowledgment: “Thank you so much, brother Mohammed.” No formal action or follow-up commitment is recorded in the excerpt.","Brother Anthony Muhammad used his three minutes during public comment to call on the Committee on Council to represent constituents experiencing homelessness, to address racial disparities, and to follow up after previous visits to City Hall; the committee offered no substantive response in the provided excerpt.","actionData","errors"]
