Meeting Convened:
9:00 a.m.
Chairman Gulliford called the meeting to order and asked the
attendees to introduce themselves. He reviewed the Auditor’s marked agenda
which included 13 items marked for deferral, 15 items ready for action (1 for
substitute and re-referral) and 13 items for second reading and re-referral.
Mr. Gulliford announced that there would be two
presentations – one by Council Auditor Kirk Sherman summarizing the FY14-15
budget after close-out and the other by Kirk Wendland,
Executive Director of the Office of Economic Development on one of the pending
economic development incentive ordinances.
2015-783 (appropriating $399,799 from Drainage System Rehab
to the Fire and Rescue Department salary account): Deputy General Counsel Peggy
Sidman noted that the bill will need amendment to reflect either decision by
the committee made with regard to these funds – whether to confirm the previous
appropriation and leave the funds with Fire and Rescue or to reverse the
appropriation and send the funds back to Drainage System Rehab. Council Member
Boyer will offer another amendment to the bill.
2016-7 (amending street construction and street excavation
regulations regarding fines and abatement activities): Council Member Wilson
requested that the bill be deferred for 2 weeks. Council Member Boyer also has
questions about the bill that need further exploration.
2016-18 (regarding the Florida Inland Navigation District
project list for 2016-17): the bill is marked for deferral by the Council
Auditor’s Office; Council Member Boyer understands from the Parks, Recreation
and Community Services Department that the bill has time to run through 2 more
Council cycles. Council Member Crescimbeni said the Jacksonville Waterways
Commission had been told that the FIND project list needed to be to Duval
County’s FIND Commissioner by February 1st. Daryl Joseph, Director
of the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department, said that the list
needs to be presented to the FIND Commission by April 1st; the
February 1st deadline was self-imposed to ensure the process moved
in a timely manner.
