NOTE:

(The week of August 29th is a fifth week)
Council Auditor Kirk Sherman gave an
overview of the Third Quarter Budget Summary for the three months ending June
30, 2016, stating that based on year to date trends, revenues are project to
have a favorable variance of $12.5 at year-end, with sales taxes, tourist
development tax and state shared revenues all exceeding budget. Expenditures
are also seeing a favorable variance, projected at $17.4 million by year-end. A
large portion of the favorable expenditure variance comes in the Sheriff’s
Office budget ($6.8 million less than budgeted) and the Fire and Rescue
Department ($2 million less than budgeted). Negative variances are found in the
budgets of the courts, Ethics Office, Public Defender and State Attorney and in
the overall City lapse account. In response to a question from Council Member
Schellenberg about whether the State Attorney could use excess City funds to
provide pay raises or increase benefits for employees of that office, Mr.
Sherman responded that she could not – the City’s funds are for facilities
while the employees are paid with state funds. Council Member Gulliford
questioned why the business license tax revenue is not increasing while the
overall economy is improving and sales tax revenue is increasing. Mr. Sherman
suggested the need for better enforcement of this self-reported tax liability.
The Tax Collector is responsible for collecting and depositing the fee, but is not
responsible for enforcement of non- or under-payment.

Summary Council Member Gulliford proposed an
amendment to require segregation of $74,000 of the appropriated funds for
repayment to Southwest Airlines of the capital facilities grant that FOHP
used for operating expenses. Bill Prescott, Interim Executive Director of
Friends of Hemming Park, said that the organization is working with Southwest
on alternate allowable uses of the grant, or perhaps repayment of the
existing grant and the opportunity to re-submit a new grant application. Public Comment: Liz Ernest of the Candy Apple Café
said that she brought her business downtown specifically because of the
increase in positive activity that is being produced by the effort of FOHP.
The restaurant’s business has suffered in the two months that FOHP has cut
back on its programming efforts, which are vital to attracting customers to
her restaurant. Peter Beringer
of Sweet Pete’s candy shop said that he relocated his business to the core of
downtown because he wanted to participate in the revitalization effort that
FOHP is leading. The programming activities are definitely bringing people
back to downtown and his shop’s sales have suffered while the controversy is
going on and FOHP has reduced its programming efforts. Sharon O’Donnell of Chamblin’s Book Mine said that downtown has vastly
improved in the past several years and FOHP is responsible for much of that
improvement. She urged the committee to support the appropriation to FOHP to
continue their work. In response to a question from
Council Member Schellenberg about what FOHP has learned from the controversy
of the past several months, Mr. Prescott responded: 1) segregation of City
funds from privately raised funds is crucial; 2) FOHP did not live up to the
community’s expectations for making the park safe and welcoming, although the
expectations were not entirely clear in the contract; and 3) better
cooperation is needed with the City and a better understanding of the
expectations of all parties involved. AMEND/APPROVE

Summary NCIS: Sub/Approve Daryl Joseph, Director of the
Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism, explained the plans for the
park, which include construction of trails, tennis courts, parking and a
ballfield complex. In response to a question from Council Member Schellenberg
about the source of funding for future operations, Mr. Joseph indicated that
it would be from the General Fund like any other park. He stated that the
maintenance for the proposed improvements would be less expensive than the
costs associated with the previous concept for creation of a water park at
the site. Assistant Council Auditor Kyle Billy explained the inter-relation
of this ordinance with 2016-441 and the need for another as-yet undrafted
ordinance appropriating funds for environmental remediation at the site which
will need to be completed before many of the proposed improvements can be
built. The committee debated the sequence of events and the timing of the
various bills, particularly with regard to the impending end of the fiscal
year and its impact on the availability of the funds in the Special Council
Contingency fund for Lonnie Miller Park. CAO Sam Mousa explained that the
preliminary design process needs to happen first so that the environmental
remediation can be designed; soil that will be covered by an impervious
surface (tennis courts, parking lot) will not need to be removed and
replaced, so those improvements need to be located for the environmental
remediation needs to be determined. Council Member Anderson requested a
meeting with Mr. Joseph to have a number of questions answered and requested
deferral of the bill. Council Member Gulliford said that if the bill was
deferred, he would move for discharge from the committee at next week’s
Council meeting, given the impending end of the fiscal year. Council Member Anderson moved to
defer the bill; the motion failed 2-3. A motion to approve the bill as
substituted was approved 3-2, but failed to achieve the 4 votes necessary to
report the bill out of committee so the matter was held over to the next
meeting. Later in the meeting Council Member
Bowman arrived and a motion to reconsider the bill was approved 4-2. SUBSTITUTE/APPROVE

Summary Fact Sheet TEU: Amend/Approve In response to a question from
Council Member K. Brown about the application of JSEB requirements to
construction funded by this appropriation, Assistant General Counsel Jody
Brooks stated that the JEA would be contracting for the work but would be
required to utilize the City’s JSEB requirements. CAO Sam Mousa stated that
the Joint Project Agreement between the City and JEA provides that 10-20% of
the engineering and construction work will be eligible for JSEB
participation. Council Member Brown felt that the JEA does not do as good a
job as the City in encouraging and procuring JSEB participation. Mr. Mousa
said that the nature of the scope of work has a great deal to do with how
much JSEB participation can be expected (i.e. how large or small the work tasks
are specified makes a difference in whether small JSEB’s can handle the
work). Council Member Schellenberg expressed philosophical opposition to the
City paying for the connection of sewer lines on private property, believing
that it should be the property owner’s responsibility. In response to a
question, Public Works Director John Pappas said that the program is intended
to hook up residential, not commercial, properties to the JEA sewer lines.
Sam Mousa added that if a new line passes by a commercial property, the owner
of that property can pay the full cost to tap in to the sewer line. Council Member Gulliford said that the
septic problem will never be solved as long as the Health Department
continues issuing permits for new septic tank installations. Mr. Mousa said
that the permits being issued now are primarily for building in remote
locations where public sewer lines are many years in the future. Mr. Pappas
explained the scoring matrix used to determine eligibility of neighborhoods
for the cost assistance program, which includes factors for adverse
environmental impacts (70% of the score, based on identified septic tank
failure areas, proximity to impaired tributaries, potential to obtain BMAP
credits for the removal of the tanks) and 30% of the score for the age of the
residences (pre- or post-consolidation), property values, water line
availability in the area, and potential to attract new development. AMEND(TEU)/APPROVE
