Mr. Chairman, I move that Bill No. 970670 be reported out of committee with a favorable recommendation, also a recommendation that the Rules of Council be suspended so as to permit consideration at our next session of Council. (Duly seconded.)

Councilman Kenney

Moved and seconded. All in favor. There are none opposed. Bill No 970670 will be reported out of this committee with a favorable recommendation and a request will be made for Rules suspension to allow for first reading at our next Council session. The Chair recognizes Councilman Mariano to approve the amendments to Bill No. 23 960823, which includes, in this particular motion, the inclusion of "service contracts" in the bill, with a threshold of $100,000, plus the amendment to 135 PUBLIC MEETING , Section E, which includes "fabrication of sheet metal products off the work site." I will ask for a motion on that.

Councilman Mariano

Mr. Chairman, I make a motion to approve the amendments as read to 960823. (Duly seconded.)

Councilman Kenney

Moved and seconded. So we understand what we are voting on, this is a motion on all Deputy Mayor Murphy's amendments, with the exception of the service contract exclusion, with a threshold level of $100,000, including a provision for fabricated sheet metal products off site. Do I have a second? (Duly seconded.)

Councilman Kenney

This motion now is a motion to approve the amendments offered by Councilman Mariano only for Deputy Mayor Murphy's proposed amendments, with the exception of the exclusion of the service contracts at a threshold level of $100,000. It has been seconded by Councilwoman 136 PUBLIC MEETING Verna. And all in favor signify by saying aye. (Councilman Kenney, Councilman Mariano and Councilwoman Verna vote aye.)

Councilman Kenney

Those opposed. (Councilwoman Clark votes nay.)

Councilman Kenney

There are three ayes. Councilwoman Clark votes nay, opposes that.

Councilwoman Clark

And she wishes that exclusion to be raised to 200,000.

Councilman Kenney

Let the record reflect that Councilmember Clark is voting against that because she requests a $200,000 threshold. So that motion to approve those particular amendments is approved. Now I recognize Councilman Mariano to offer an amendment to , Section E, relative to sheet metal fabricated products off work site.

Councilman Mariano

I am going to make a motion to pass Bill No. 960823 as amended.

Councilman Kenney

You make a motion to approve the amendment to , Section E. Councilman Mariano moves the 137 PUBLIC MEETING amendment to , Section E, as previously read. (Duly seconded.)

It has been seconded. All in favor. There are none opposed. Now the Chair recognizes Councilwoman Verna for a motion to approve Bill No. 960823 as amended.

Councilwoman Verna

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I move that Bill No. 960823 be reported out of committee with a favorable recommendation as amended, and further that the Rules of Council be suspended so as to permit first reading at our next session of Council. (Duly seconded.)

Moved and seconded. All in favor. There are none opposed. Bill No. 960823 as amended will be reported out of this committee with a favorable recommendation, and a request will be made for Rules 138 PUBLIC MEETING suspension to allow for first reading at our next Council session. Let it be clear for the record that an entire, completed, amended copy of this bill will be available for Councilmembers tomorrow before first reading of this bill, so that all the amendments will be clear, newly marked and clear, on what the amendments are for tomorrow's first reading.
