Meeting Convened: 4:03 p.m.

Finance Committee: Council Member Brosche reviewed the actions of the committee from its meeting, noting that on 2016-599 (adopting a new Tourist Development Plan) the Finance Committee substitute will be moved for action and there will be a floor amendment offered. It was clarified that the Finance Committee and LUZ Committee had both adopted that same amendment to 2016-706 (approving a mobility fee contract).

NCIS Committee: Council Member Wilson reviewed the actions of the committee from its meeting.

TEU Committee: Council Member Ferraro reported that all of his committee’s bills had been previously covered.

PHS Committee: Council Member Newby reported that all of his committee’s bills had been previously covered.

Rules Committee: Council Member Dennis reviewed the actions of the committee from its meeting.

LUZ Committee: Council Member Becton reviewed the actions of the committee from its meeting. He had Assistant General Counsel Susan Grandin explain the TEU and LUZ amendments to 2016-706.

President Boyer noted that 2016-784 (resolution in support of the North Florida Rail Enhancement Program Phase II) is being requested for one-cycle emergency approval, not first reading approval upon introduction tonight. 2016-771 (revising budget schedule A2 for Children’s Commission after-school program changes) is also being requested for one-cycle emergency approval, as is 2016-781 (authorizing JHFA issuance of multifamily housing revenue bonds). 2016-788 (reappointment to the Jacksonville Health Facilities Authority) will be a one-cycle appointment, not an emergency. Ms. Boyer reported that a suggestion has been made that the Health Facilities Authority board be transitioned to membership consisting of City Council members rather than appointed citizens. The board meets very infrequently as needed, and maintaining membership is a challenge.

Council Member Schellenberg requested that 2016-784 also be referred to the Finance Committee, to which the President agreed.
