DPW introduces new staff and asks council to refer Erie Basin Marina agreement to finance committee
Summary
A Department of Public Works official introduced acting deputy commissioner Shantina Moore and city engineer Alex Bowler and asked the Buffalo City Council to send the Erie Basin Marina agreement to the finance committee; the draft agreement was not yet attached.
An agency official from the Department of Public Works told the Buffalo City Council that DPW had several items on the agenda and introduced two staffers, including acting deputy commissioner Shantina Moore of the Division of Buildings and city engineer Alex Bowler.
"First off, behind me, I have our new acting deputy commissioner, Shantina Moore, division of buildings," the agency official said, and added that "City engineer Alex Bowler is with me as well." The official said the department had "a few building items" on the agenda and was available to answer questions.
On one agenda item, the official said, "1 item that's on here, Erie Basin Marina agreement. I would request that the council move this to finance committee." The official noted the draft agreement had not yet been attached to the agenda packet and said DPW expected to provide it this week for committee review.
Nut graf: The referral request means the council would review the marina agreement first in finance committee once the draft is available; the council did not vote on the referral during the recorded segment.
Council members did not debate the substance of the marina agreement in the transcript; the department’s statement described only the intended referral and the timing to follow when the draft is circulated.
The council moved on to other agenda business after the announcement; no formal motion or vote on the Erie Basin Marina agreement appears in the transcript excerpt.
