planning, infrastructure, and zoning issues (including issues relating to land
use, mobility, historic preservation, and sustainable development)and issues
related to specific public and/or private development projects;
b. the Finance and Economic Resiliency Committee shall hear issues related to

Committee. The term of service for each chairperson or vice chairperson shall be

unfavorable recommendation in the event of a tie vote of the Committee.

has the option, by majority vote of the Committee, to specifically recommend
advancing the proposed measure to the City Commission with "no
recommendation."
9. If three (3) or more Committee members vote against a proposed agenda item, the
agenda item dies at Committee, unless the Mayor, at the Mayor's discretion, elects
to place the item on the next regular City Commission agenda for consideration by
the City Commission. Committee liaisons shall be responsible with furnishing the
Mayor's office with a list of items lacking the required support at Committee, to allow
