ordinance was introduced at the August 9, 2010 City Council meeting. Council
President Mixon stated he needed a motion for final adoption of this ordinance.
Councilmember Quinn moved for final adoption and then immediately withdrew the
motion. The ordinance failed for lack of a motion.

repealing Ordinance No. 1128 and Ordinance No. 1155 and to establish the Bylaws of

Dr. Ira Harvey addressed the City Council and gave a brief presentation. He
stated it gets deeper and more complexed with each study. Statutorily the ball is in
the City Council's lap. Mayor Kant questioned the debt limit and the City's
constitutional debt limit. Dr. Harvey replied that revenue warrants are not counted
toward that limit. The Board was also questioned by Mayor Kant. Dr. Harvey
replied the Council would need to discuss items with the Board. He also said it
would take at least two years after the Council passes a resolution and needs to be
ready to go by July I". Councilmember Kingrea asked how much more would be
needed other than the $2.6 million per year for debt service. Dr. Harvey replied
between $600,000 to $1,000,000 for administration; approximately $800,000 more or
less.
Vince Valentim, 203 Perdido Avenue, addressed the City Council regarding
an article he read in the paper and only one copy of the School Feasibility Study was
given. He said all Councilmembers should have been given a copy. It also stated that
Dr. Harvey would be presenting study tonight. He mentioned Council President
Mixon's statement regarding not wanting to hear comments from citizens or anyone
outside the City limits. He said that comes across to me as a level of arrogance; and
he also said the Council works for the citizens. Councilmember Quinn stated she did
not have a final draft until tonight and this past week numbers from the School Board
were still coming in for the study.
Gary Gover, 300 Lincoln Street, addressed the City Council and announced
that Saturday would be a joint clean-up day with Coastal Clean Up. He stated items
could be picked up at the Nix Center.
There being no further business to come before the City Council, the meeting
was duly adjourned at 6:49 p.m.
