BILL SUMMARY FACT SHEET Council Member Boyer explained
that this bill was referred to the Finance Committee because the conversion
of land from one mobility category to another has in impact on the mobility
fee revenue the City collects. The fee goes down as land is converted from
the rural to suburban to urban use category, so she urged the council members
to be aware of this potential revenue impact as land use changes affecting
mobility zones are made in the future. APPROVE 7-0 |

BILL SUMMARY FACT
SHEET Assistant Council Auditor Kyle Billy
explained the Auditor’s amendment. Daryl Joseph, Director of the Parks,
Recreation and Community Services Department, responded to questions from
Council Member Bowman about the future of events at Metropolitan Park given
the current condition of the stage and pavilion and the construction of the
new amphitheater by the Jacksonville Jaguars. In response to a question from
Council Member Crescimbeni, Dave Herrell, Sports and Entertainment Officer,
said that a few noise complaints had been received about the Welcome to
Rockville event held at Metro Park, but the sound levels were within
regulated limits and no citations were issued. Council Member Boyer suggested
that some complaints were received before the City’s Environmental Quality
Division employees were on duty with their monitoring equipment, so it is
possible that a violation may have occurred but not been recorded. AMEND/APPROVE 7-0 1.

Section 7 (Separate Legislative Action) from the Joint Finance/Rules

policies being repealed. He explained the committee’s proposal for incentives
targeted specifically at economically distressed areas graded Level 1 and
Level 2 based on household income and unemployment data and reminded the
committee that the proposed incentive programs need to be funded in order to
take effect. He also urged the council to stand firm and reject proposed
exceptions to the targeting criteria for the economically distressed areas.
Council Member Becton suggested the need for a commercial corridor
revitalization program. Council Member Boyer requested additional information
about the state’s intentions for the future of the Enterprise Zone program
and said that the Ordinance Code needs a complete revision to remove old,
outdated, inaccurate language and references that are found throughout the code. In a Public Comment period, Stanley
Scott said there has been little to no community engagement by the Office of
Economic Development; what is needed is a bottom-up, not top-down plan, with
OED employees knocking on doors and attending meetings, asking citizens what
they want and teaching business readiness skills. AMEND/APPROVE 7-0 Place revised document on file to update the Duval County

BILL SUMMARY FACT
SHEET Heather Reber of the Council
Auditor’s Office explained the differences between the existing stadium lease
for the Florida/Georgia and TaxSlayer.com Bowl games and the Navy/Notre Dame
game lease. Sports and Entertainment Officer Dave Herrell described the
reduction in the number of club seats due to the Jaguars’ club area
renovations and the plans to replace those seats to meet the City’s contractual
obligations to the Universities of Georgia and Florida. The City plans to
purchase portable seats approved by the two universities, the Jaguars and SMG
and to split a portion of the seating installation and removal cost with the
Jaguars. Council Member Crescimbeni posed questions about the seat purchase
plan and was told that the Council will have the opportunity to weigh in on
the proposal during the upcoming budget process. In response to a question
from Council Member Bowman, Mr. Herrell stated that the Navy/Notre Dame game
will be a net financial positive for the City, taking into account the value
of national television coverage, hotel room stays, and overall economic
activity produced by the game. AMEND/APPROVE 7-0 Attach revised agreement to: -change designation of event to a City advertising event -correct reference to Jaquar

BILL SUMMARY FACT
SHEET Council Member Crescimbeni suggested
the need to somehow connect the code names of confidential projects (i.e.
Project Grace) to the true name of the company in the City’s legislative
tracking system once a bill gets final approval. The Office of Economic Development’s
web site connects the actual company name to the number of the legislation
that approved the project, but the Legislative Bill Search system does not,
making it difficult for the general public to research the code named
projects. Council Member Boyer suggested adding language in the incentive
approval bill to either reference the availability of the information on the
OED web site or authorizing a notation in the Bill Search system after the
bill is approved connecting the name and bill numer. APPROVE 7-0 |
