Bill Summary

 

Assistant General Counsel John Sawyer responded to several questions from the committee about the contractual relationship among the City, Friends of Hemming Park and Community First Credit Union regarding the sponsorship agreement for construction of an improved stage in Hemming Park. Roger Rassman, Vice President of Marketing for Community First said that the credit union’s preference is to have its name on the stage for the full 5 year term of the agreement, even if Friends of Hemming Park is no longer under contract to the City to manage activities in the park. Committee members discussed the degree to which private contributions toward the cost of the stage construction should reduce the City’s contribution to the project rather than accrue to the benefit of FOHP. Vince Cavin, Executive Director of FOHP, answered questions about the organization’s budget and fundraising progress. A motion by Council Member Crescimbeni to specify the amount of funding for different elements of the stage construction and to prohibit purchase of accessory items such as sound and lighting systems was withdrawn after the second to the motion was rescinded.

Bill Summary            Fact Sheet

 

Public commenter Jim Reichenbach, state president of ABATE Florida (A Brotherhood Against Totalitarian Enactments/American Bikers Aiming Toward Education) opposed passage of the bill without a clear and legally defensible plan of action for the enforcement program. He stated that the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration is circumventing a prohibition in federal law against targeting enforcement activities at motorcyclists by funneling grant funds to state and local governments to perform targeted enforcement in its place. Sheriff’s Office Director of Patrol and Enforcement Ray Walden described JSO’s historical enforcement efforts with sobriety checkpoints and explained that, while motorcycle accident and fatality data will be used to identify high need areas for enforcement, the operation of the checkpoints will comply with the office’s standard procedures. Chief Assistant General Counsel Stephen Durden said that the Constitution and interpretive case law require enforcement actions  to be non-arbitrary or capricious and to check all sorts of motor vehicles, not just motorcycles, on an equal basis.

Bill Summary            Fact Sheet

 

Council Member Boyer said that she had been researching the Florida Statutes and Ordinance Code provisions regulating the use of TDC funds and she believes the TDC is not spending the funds entirely in concert with state law; she therefore proposed to add a waiver to the ordinance waiving compliance with the City’s Tourist Development Plan to the extent necessary. She noted that the City’s Tourist Development Plan has not been amended in many years and needs to be thoroughly revised. She also noted that the TDC’s contract with Visit Jacksonville, Inc. to provide tourism and convention marketing services expires next year and an RFP to advertise for potential providers should be in development soon for release a year from now. Council President Anderson noted that TDC revenues are running above estimates for the year. Finance Director Mike Weinstein said that he would ask the TDC to submit its proposed budget to the Mayor’s Budget Review Committee for review and that it would be examined for compliance with the adopted Tourist Development Plan.

Public commenter John Nooney asked the committee to ask the Downtown Investment Authority to allow the pier to be used as a public fishing site. Stephanie Burch, Chief of the Real Estate Division, reported that the submerged land lease contemplates use for passive recreation purposes, specifically including fishing. Council Member Boyer reported that she has asked the DIA to look into what it would cost to connect the pier to the adjacent upland property, filling in the missing gap that fell in the river some years ago.
