MEMORANDUM

RE: Scrivener's Error- Resolution No. 15-0280, adopted June 25, 2015
File ID: 15-00861
Matter ID No.: 15-277
A scrivener's error exists in Resolution No. 15-0280, adopted June 25, 2015. When a
draft of the title was placed into Legistar, a directive was included to forward the Resolution to
Mr. Donald Trump. This title was included in the Mayor's Report for his signature and is what
the public saw in the marked agenda until July 20, 2015.
The legislation was then inadvertently finalized and the directive was removed since this
directive was not expressly voted on the floor. However, this office takes the position that who
the resolution is sent to is a ministerial act by the City and thus not a substantive change and can
be reflected on the resolution or not.
In order to ensure what the Mayor signed on the legislation report and the initial marked
agenda minutes reflect the same as the final legislation, the legislation is being revised and will
now include the directive as originally drafted.
