Assistant Council Auditor Janice Billy reviewed the Auditor’s marked agenda, which showed 6 items to be deferred, 21 items ready for action (1 as an emergency), and 31 items to be read a second time and re-referred.

 

  • The Chairman stated that he meet with the Auditor’s Office before the committee meeting to discuss an amendment to 2010-337 (authorizing an agreement with the Community Foundation to establish an endowed fund for the benefit of city parks) to impose a cap on the amount of the fund that can be self-appropriating.
  • 2010-493 (Memorandum of Understanding with Jacksonville Jaguars regarding use of tourist development tax proceeds for the Sports Complex) may or may not be taken up for action; there are still negotiations taking place.
  • Using 2010-521 (dock construction and maintenance agreement) as an example, the Chairman asked if all City construction projects are now using the federal government’s E-Verify system to determine the eligibility of workers to work in the United States.  The Mayor’s Office will ask the Public Works Department for a response.

 

Chairman Daniels stated that he would be meeting with Jacksonville Jaguars CFO Bill Prescott between the agenda meeting and the committee meeting to determine if the two Jaguars-related bills (2010-493 and -644) will be taken up during the meeting.
