Notes on documentation and next steps
- Several items were deferred or withdrawn earlier in the meeting (Items 1 and 2 deferred; Item 7 withdrawn at administration request). The committee adopted multiple amendments during the meeting; where amendments corrected fiscal-year BT account information, attached FEMA approval letters, or clarified affected property owners, those changes were noted on the record.
- For bills where the committee recorded a unanimous vote (7-0) the agenda materials provided limited public discussion in the excerpt; full council packets should be consulted for complete attachments, fiscal notes and revised exhibits.
Ending: The committee advanced multiple items to the full council for consideration or for administrative follow-up; sponsors and staff will provide revised exhibits and supporting documents as required by council procedure.
