Summary NCIS: Sub/Apv R:
Sub/Apv Council President Boyer explained the
major provisions of the substitute and the addition of clarifying language to
a previous version regarding the City Council membership on the TDC to deal
with a situation where there is no Past President currently serving on the
council. Kirit Patidar, a
hotelier and member of the TDC board, expressed his disagreement with the
amounts proposed for allocation to the contingency fund and the reserve for
facilities development. He believes that those allocations divert funds away
from event attraction and ties the TDC’s hands when it comes to meeting the
needs of potential events as they arise; the process to request an allocation
from contingency through the City Council legislative process takes too long
to be responsive. Council Member Bowman expressed disagreement with the revise
tourist development plan as proposed and felt that the TDC board had not been
given a fair opportunity to participate in and affect the policy proposal. President Boyer said that the TDC
would be delegated the task of developing guidelines and evaluation measures
for event grants and would report back to the Council in 6 months. She
proposed and amendment on page 4 of the bill regarding the qualifications of
TDC board members to provide that at least 2 members must be resident of or
have their “principal or qualifying place of business” within the
Beaches or Baldwin; the amendment was approved. Monica Smith, the director of
Convention Sales and Service for Visit Jacksonville requested changes in
several of the allocation amounts for convention sales and marketing; after
discussion the request was withdrawn. Ms. Boyer suggested an amendment to
clarify that the proposed changes in the appointments of City Council members
would not affect the terms of currently appointed members; the amendment was
approved. SUB/APPROVE

Summary NCIS: Apv Council Member Newby explained the
purpose of the bill. George Maxcy of the Newtown
Success Zone explained the purpose and activities of the Zone. Council Member
Gulliford expressed support for the work of the Success Zone but cautioned
against establishing a precedent by allowing use of year-end fund balances by
Council intervention before the City’s books are closed for the year and
negative balances in other funds rectified with the available funds. He
suggested that if the Council wished to establish a policy of
reallocating Children’s Commission and
Jacksonville Journey year-end fund balances rather than allowing them to be
swept into General Fund balance, then a formal allocation process should be
established to evaluate and rate proposed uses rather than an ad hoc “first
come, first served” process. Finance Director Mike Weinstein cautioned
that year-end fund balance in one fiscal year is used as a funding source for
the next year’s budget and urged extreme discretion in using it for
additional programming. He noted that the annual budget process is
fundamentally a prioritization process and one-time proposals for projects
using fund balances avoid that prioritization process. Budget Officer Angela
Moyer suggested that the Council could revisit this proposed allocation when
it deals with the overall allocation of fund balance after the fiscal year
books are closed out in January. Colin Murphy of the Children’s Commission
said the JCC was supportive of the Newtown Success Zone’s work. Council Member
Brosche said that as the Council liaison to the Children’s Commission, she
has had numerous discussions about the commission’s fund balance, why last
year’s year-end balance was so big, and how it is being used. Mr. Murphy
reported that the fund balance was generated largely from non-payment of
contracts for non-performance according to contract terms. APPROVE

LUZ: Amend/Apv Assistant General Counsel Susan
Grandin explained the LUZ Committee amendment to the TEU amendment to
incorporate a provision requiring expenditure of the fee within a 2.5 mile
radius of the roadway that generated the fee. In response to a question,
Planning and Development Director Bill Killingsworth
said that he knew of 3 mobility fee credit agreements (including this one),
and that 1 involved a conversion from fair share to mobility fee credits.
Paul Harden representing the company said that his client would prefer not to
have the radius restriction and to allow the funds to be spent anywhere
within Mobility Zone 1, but defers to the district council member’s wishes. AMEND(LUZ)/APPROVE

Summary Fact Sheet NCIS: Apv In response to a question, Laura
Stagner-Crites of the JHFA staff explained how this housing revenue bond
request differs from the bond issue for the Eureka Gardens Apartments. Both
use tax-preferred revenue bonds to lower the cost of providing subsidized
affordable rental housing, but the Eureka Gardens issue was never reviewed by
the JHFA. Former Mayor Brown exercised his authority under state law
regarding to this type of bond issuance to approve the bonds in his capacity
as the chief executive officer of the City without the JHFA/ City Council
process. Council Member Gulliford said that he is considering introducing
legislation to require that all such bond issues utilize the JHFA review/City
Council approval process in the future. Approve

Summary Fact Sheet R: Read 2nd Greg Pease, Chief of the Procurement
Division, explained the need for the waiver authority to ensure that the City
remains eligible for federal and state grants which may have procurement
requirements that differ in some way from the City’s Procurement Code. The
waivers would be granted on a case-by-case basis to the extent needed to
maintain eligibility and would require the City to adhere to the applicable
state or federal procurement programs. Council Member Katrina Brown urged the
City to use the JSEB program to the greatest extent possible and said she
wanted to be notified when any waivers under this provision are granted.
Council Member Anderson suggested that the Finance Committee Chair be
notified in addition to the Council Auditor as required in the proposal.
Finance Director Mike Weinstein said that the state and federal agencies from
which the City receives grants all have different versions of affirmative
action procurement programs, some more vigorous in the area of minority
participation requirements than what the City is permitted to do by various
court rulings. EMERG/APPROVE
