BILL SUMMARY APPROVE 4 – 0 This item evoked considerable discussion. Council Member Anderson wanted to know how
the structure’s elevation would impact the neighborhood. If there were any
neighbors in attendance who could share their views? Architect Melody Bishop had photographs of
the structure and the neighboring homes that she wanted to share; she also
fielded questions. Iris Eisenberg, the
homeowner, read affidavits from her Riverside neighbors and a letter from
RAP, none of which had any objections to the elevation that FEMA and Ms.
Eisenberg were financing. Laura
Dalisera, Jacksonville Fire & Rescue’s Emergency Preparedness Division,
explained FEMA’S rules and fielded questions.
Council Member Love was supportive of the elevation. |

BT Elaine Spencer, Chief, Housing & Development,
explained the nature of the legislation and the need for emergency
passage. It was her understanding that
the continuing operation of a women’s dormitory at the Sulzbacher Center was
threatened if the funding in this appropriation was not forthcoming. Council Member Anderson asked what,
precisely, constituted an emergency? Assistant General Paige Johnston said
that an emergency was what the Committee determined constituted an emergency. |

& REREFER Initially, this item was approved as an emergency. When a discussion ensued on the rationale
for the emergency, a discussion initiated by Council Member Boyer, Elaine
Spencer sought to explain. Council
Members Anderson, Redman and Boyer put questions to Ms. Spencer on the
rationale for the emergency and the Sulzbacher Center’s
funding. Council Member Anderson moved
to reconsider the emergency action vote that the Committee had previously
voted on. The bill failed as an
emergency and was subsequently seconded and re-referred. Council Member Boyer advised Jessica Deal
that the bill was expected to be debated in Tuesday’s (November 6) Finance
Committee Meeting and that Ms. Spencer would be well advised to strengthen
her explanation and rationale for the requested emergency action for the
measure. |
