The Committee on Community Development met June 17 and took procedural steps on multiple agenda items. The committee recorded a motion to approve items 1 and 2 (appointments to the Buffalo and Erie County Community Public Library), moved to table an item about City of Buffalo contracts and apprentice programs, and voted to receive without recommendation a request to enter into a yard-waste disposal agreement.

Appointments and procedural motions

Early in the meeting a member moved to approve items 1 and 2, which concern appointments to the Buffalo and Erie County Community Public Library. The motion was seconded by Council Member Everhart; the transcript records the motion and second but does not include a roll-call vote tally.

City contracts and apprentice programs (item 3)

Item 3, described in the agenda as relating to City of Buffalo contracts and apprentice programs, was opened for a brief discussion after a member requested responses to questions posed by "Mr. Kent." Following that exchange a committee member said the item should be tabled "based on those conversations with both parties so we can come together with all of the information at the information at 1 time." The motion to table was seconded by Council Member Ferra Leto and recorded in the transcript. No roll-call vote tally is recorded.

Yard-waste disposal agreement (item 4)

The committee received an item asking permission to enter into an agreement for yard-waste disposal. A motion "to receive without recommendation" was made and seconded by Council Member Wyatt; the transcript records the motion and second but does not record a vote tally or final disposition beyond the committee action to receive without recommendation.

Other procedural notes

Committee members later removed item 26 (the menthol tobacco item) from the table to allow public comment and then, after discussion, moved to table it again pending a written opinion from the law department. The meeting concluded with motions to close discussion and to adjourn.

Ending: Several items were advanced to follow-up steps rather than final votes; the contracts/apprentice-programs item was tabled pending additional information, and the menthol item was tabled pending legal review.
