Mr. Chairman, is it appropriate for me to be excused?

Mr. Goldsmith

Thank you very much.

Councilman Nutter

Mr. Chairman, the next set of amendments, which have been circulated, is to Bill No. 040770. I will not torture us with the reading of these amendments. There's one on , adding a new definition for administerial. There's one on again, adding a word in the personnel action definition. There's one on in Section 24 20-6042A and B. There's one on , amending 217 11/10/04 - LAW AND GOVERNMENT Paragraph 7, "non-disclosure of confidential information." There's one on , amending Paragraph C. There's one on , delete Section 3 in its entirety and replace it with a new Section 3 to read as follows. And a deletion of item number 38. Those are the amendments to Bill No. 040770. There's a proposed amendment to Resolution No. 040818. There's a technical amendment and a changing of a word from the execution to taking effect, which goes throughout this particular document. Then on at the end of that paragraph, at the top, continuation of a sentence, comma, "which regulations may require Council approval by ordinance of certain or all such contracts." Those are all the amendments to Resolution No. 040818.

Councilman Cohen

Does that complete all of the amendments on all the bills? 218 11/10/04 - LAW AND GOVERNMENT

Councilman Nutter

One more, Mr. Chairman. There's an amendment to Bill No. 4 040772. This is a conformance amendment. One part of this section read one way, and the second part of the section read a different way. The two sections will be conformed to require the same amount of financial disclosure information for individuals receiving no-bid contracts. Those are all the amendments, Mr. Chairman.
