Finance Committee: Council Member Clark reviewed the actions of the committee from its meeting.

RCDPHS Committee: Council Member Redman reported that all the actions of the committee had been previously covered

LUZ Committee: Council Member Holt reviewed the actions of the committee from its meeting.

Council Member Boyer noted that 2014-646 (rezoning on Atlantic Boulevard) was recommended for denial by the LUZ Committee; the bill was amended and then a motion to approve as amended failed 0-6. In keeping with the usual Council practice, the bill will be moved in the affirmative and a vote to support the committee recommendation would be a negative vote.

Council Member Lumb asked that 2015-392 (a resolution welcoming Rev. Franklin Graham and the Greater Jacksonville Festival of Hope) on the addendum be moved as an emergency.

Council Member Carter asked that 2015-243 (rezoning on Old Middleburg Road) be postponed one cycle so that he can have some questions answered about the project.

Council Member Crescimbeni reported that he had received considerable e-mail correspondence regarding 2015-240 (rezoning on Gate Parkway) and 2015-237 (small scale land use amendment for property at Ft. Caroline and Peeler Roads) and requested that when the bills come up for consideration, the Council be given a detailed explanation of the proposals and the discussion at the LUZ Committee.

Council President Yarborough reminded the group that incoming District 7 council member Reggie Gaffney will be sworn in immediately prior to the beginning of the Council meeting to fill the existing vacancy. He will be immediately eligible to participate and vote at the meeting.

Council Member Holt noted that 2015-332 (authorizing an economic development agreement with Johnson and Johnson Vision Care) is listed out of place on the agenda. The bill will have a public comment period before the quasi-judicial matters are taken up.
