ORDINANCE 13-2017-18 (First Reading; proposed amendment) Amending the
Official Code to repeal the designation of the Two Rivers Company as the District
Management Corporation
Councilman Chandler made a motion to adopt this ordinance on first reading.
The motion was seconded by Councilman Grubbs. Councilman Chandler said he
performed his own research based upon the recent opinion of Chief Financial
Officer Laurie Matta. He said this change would allow the TRC to operate as a
non-profit organization and not under local government regulations.
Councilwoman McLaughlin said she would not participate in discussion or vote
on this ordinance because she was an employee of the TRC, but did state she felt
the mayor should refrain from voting since she is a member of the TRC Board of
Directors. Councilwoman Guzman said the TRC needs the energy of Director
Norman Quirion. Councilman Allen said the accounting issues should be
addressed and expressed for support for the TRC as a District Management
Corporation. Councilman Erb felt the TRC’s authority to assess property should
be re-evaluated. Councilman Alexander did not support the change to remove the
district management designation. Councilman Henley said the Finance
Department should assist the TRC in accounting as a joint venture.
In response to Councilman Allen’s question, City Attorney Lance Baker said
Councilwoman McLaughlin may be allowed to abstain from voting on future
legislation relative to the City’s funding of the TRC. Councilman Powers
opposed the repeal of the designation and felt Mr. Quirion and Mrs. McLaughlin
would benefit the TRC, and said the TRC should be self-sufficient. Councilman
Burkhart said he had been involved with the TRC in various downtown
developments and made a motion to postpone action to allow time for additional
research. The motion was seconded by Councilman Allen. The following vote
was recorded:
AYE: Allen, Burkhart, Grubbs, Guzman
NAY: Alexander, Chandler, Erb, Garrett, Henley, Powers
ABSTAIN: McLaughlin
The motion to postpone failed. Councilman Alexander called for the question.
The question was seconded by Councilman Garrett. The following vote was
recorded:
AYE: Alexander, Erb, Garrett, Henley
NAY: Allen, Burkhart, Chandler, Grubbs, Guzman, Powers
The motion to cease discussion failed. Mayor McMillan said as a board member
she should do what is in the best interest of all. She said this was not a vote to
“do away” with the TRC or to hamper its efforts. She felt the TRC had been
hampered doing business as a district management corporation and it should be a
non-profit agency, and said the current designation may require the TRC assess
property and not operate on taxpayer dollars. Councilman Allen called for the
question. The question was seconded by Councilman Alexander. The following
vote was recorded:
AYE: Alexander, Allen, Burkhart, Chandler, Erb, Garrett, Grubbs,
Guzman, Henley, Powers
ABSTAIN: McLaughlin
The motion to cease discussion passed. The following vote on the original
motion was recorded:
AYE: Chandler, Grubbs, Guzman
