Summary The committee voted to approve the
three amendments on the Council Auditor’s marked agenda. Council President
Anderson expressed the belief that additional work is needed to reconcile the
differing opinions expressed by council members in previous meetings and
recommended that the bill by deferred for one and only one more cycle while
additional work is done. Council Member Reggie Brown asked Deputy General
Counsel Lawsikia Hodges to review four additional amendments he had requested
be drafted concerning the role of community housing
development corporations (CHODOs) in the process. The committee decided to hold a
special meeting on Monday, April 25th at 9 a.m. to continue
discussion of the bill and the proposed amendments. DEFER |

Bill
Summary Council Member Hazouri reported that
he had met last week with Council Members Becton and Wilson on this bill and
that he had asked for amendments to be prepared. He intends to propose
another bill at a future date to deal with other aspects of human trafficking
signage not covered by this bill. Council Member Becton distributed a “white
paper” suggesting other amendments. Council Member Crescimbeni questioned the
constitutionality of the state law requiring posting of signage by some types
of businesses and not by others and wondered if the City incurred any legal
liability by being the mechanism for application of the state law to the
regulated businesses. DEFER |

Summary Assistant Council Auditor Kyle Billy
requested the addition of a fourth item to the three listed points describing
the substitute on the marked agenda to provide that the Friends of Hemming
Park would pay for any cost overruns on the construction of the stage and to
require that FOHP has a performance bond. Assistant General Counsel John
Sawyer explained the stage sponsorship agreement and the need for a payback
clause to Community First Credit Union should the City and FOHP end their
park operation agreement short of its full term and leave Hemming Park
unprogrammed. At the request of Council Member Bowman, Vince Cavin, the
manager of Hemming Park, gave an overview of FOHP’s fundraising during the
current fiscal year and talked about the organization’s future operating and
capital budget needs. In a public comment period Seber Newsome III opposed
the contracting of Hemming Park management to FOHP as being too expensive and
urged the City to resume operation of the park itself. Council Member Boyer offered and the
committee approved a motion to incorporate language regarding a refund to
Community First Credit Union of a portion of its contribution to the stage
construction project under certain circumstances. The bill was then deferred
to the Finance Committee’s special meeting on Monday, April 25th. DEFER |

Summary Fact Sheet James Reichenbach, a lobbyist for
ABATE (A Brotherhood Against Totalitarian Actions/American Bikers Aiming
Toward Education), told the committee that federal law prohibits targeting
enforcement at motorcycles specifically, which he equates to profiling, and
urged that any enforcement should be applicable to all motor vehicles, not
just motorcycles. He believes the National Highway Transportation Safety
Administration is giving grants in order to utilize local governments to
undertake actions targeted at motorcyclists that it can’t do itself under
federal law. He stated that the grant application the City submitted says
that the funds are specifically for motorcycle enforcement activities. Connie
Benham of the Duval County Chapter of ABATE believes this grant will pay for
activities that will discourage motorcyclists from coming through
Jacksonville and that the Sheriff’s Office will target its enforcement to
areas known to be frequented by motorcyclists. Council Members Boyer and Crescimbeni
questioned Ray Walden, JSO’s Director of Patrol and Enforcement, about the
Sheriff’s Office’s plans for enforcement. Director Walden said that the
stepped-up enforcement would generally involve additional and more widely
dispersed sobriety checkpoints and that stops would be made of all types of
vehicles; motorcycles will not be singled out for extra scrutiny. Council
Member Crescimbeni suggested that the Office of General Counsel be asked for
an opinion on the constitutionality of the proposed enforcement efforts. DEFER |

Bill Summary Fact Sheet
Assistant Council Auditor Kyle Billy
reviewed the proposed amendments on the marked agenda. Council Member Bowman
advocated for passage of perhaps the biggest economic development incentive
package in Jacksonville’s history, which will provide a large number of jobs
for people of all job qualifications and income levels in a part of the city
where such jobs are very much needed. The JTA will partner with the City to
provide transportation for workers to the site. Office of Economic Development
Executive Director Kirk Wendland described the project and proposed economic
incentive package. JTA Executive Director Nathaniel Ford described the
construction of a new park-and-ride lot at Armsdale Park to serve the First
Coast Flyer that will serve as a resource for a new bus route designed to serve
the workforce commuting to Project Rex.
Council Member Boyer asked questions
about the impact of greenbelt tax exemption for agricultural properties on the
calculation of baseline property value for purpose of calculating the tax
increment on which the incentive will be paid. She is curious about whether the
JIA CRA uses the greenbelt tax value or the full assessed value for its
calculations and Council Member Crescimbeni asked for information on which
value was used as the baseline when the CRA was created. He will have the
Special Committee on Economic Development Incentives consider the greenbelt
issue at a future meeting. Ms. Boyer proposed and the committee approved an
amendment providing that as long as the JIA CRA exists, its revenues will be
the source of payment of the Project Rex REV grant.
AMEND/APPROVE 7-0
