Bill Summary Council Member Boyer expressed strong disagreement with a
characterization of her remarks in a previous meeting that implied she
believed the voters were incapable of dealing with numerous issues on a long
ballot. Her point in that meeting was that placing this referendum on the
November presidential election ballot runs the risk that the term limit issue
will be swamped by presidential politics and garner
little or no notice from the general public. A vigorous campaign will need to
be waged for the public to understand this proposal if there is any chance
for it to be approved which could be difficult in the context of the
presidential race. She believes that the sales tax extension for pension
liability amortization referendum should be the City’s top priority and the
term limits extension should not be placed on the same ballot so as to allow
the City to concentrate all its promotional efforts on one referendum at a
time. Property Appraiser Jerry Holland and Tax Collector Michael
Corrigan provided perspective on term limits in their capacities as current
constitutional officers and former City Council members. Finance Director
Mike Weinstein said that the administration’s preference would be to have the
sales tax extension referendum on the August primary ballot rather than the
November presidential ballot, but that the November date is more likely given
the timing of action by the Legislature. Council Member Crescimbeni moved an amendment to make the
3-term limit effective beginning with candidates running for their first term
in 2019 so as to exclude any council member elected while the 2-term limit
was in effect from being eligible for a third term; the amendment failed 2-5 Council Member Crescimbeni moved an amendment to provide
that the referendum in 2016 would be a straw ballot; the amendment failed
1-6. AMEND/APPROVE
4-3 (CM Bowman, CM Crescimbeni, CM R. Gaffney) – Boyer amend:
provides that the referendum shall be held at the August 2016 statewide
primary election unless a local option sales tax extension to pay for
unfunded pension liability is scheduled for that election, in which case the
term limits extension referendum shall be held at the November 2016 general
election. |

Bill Summary Fact Sheet
READ 2ND AND REREFER
At the conclusion of the meeting Council Auditor Kirk Sherman made a presentation on his office’s review of the FY14-15 budget wrap-up after the year-end closeout. Total revenues were $3.2 million short of budget, due in large part to a $6.1 million shortfall in Fire and Rescue Department EMS billings and collections and $7 million in Banking Fund borrowing that was not accomplished during the fiscal year, offset by better-than-budgeted collections of ad valorem taxes ($2.3 million) and state-shared sales tax revenue ($6.18 million). Expenditures came in $12.2 million under budget, led by a large favorable variances in the Sheriff’s Office budget of $6.6 million and the Supervisor of Elections’ office of $1.27 million. A total of $2.17 million in unspent appropriations is being swept into an unappropriated reconciliation fund after negative cash balances in numerous accounts are filled by fund transfers.
Jon Heymann, Executive Director of the Jacksonville Children’s Commission, explained the reason for the Commission’s $1.14 million year-end fund balance, which is mostly attributable to the fact that changing demographic conditions in field (substantial increases or decreases in the number of young people being served by various Commission-funded programs at various sites) cannot be dealt with by administrative transfers of funds from low-attendance sites to high-attendance sites. City Council action to approve revised contracts with the agencies reflecting different attendance parameters are required and sometimes are not accomplished within the grant year.
Council Member Brosche updated the committee on the work of her subcommittee to review the records subpoenaed from the Police and Fire Pension Fund and from Robert Klausner, the fund’s attorney. The subcommittee has met twice with the PFPF’s board chair, interim executive director and comptroller and efforts are underway to answer all of the subcommittee’s questions about the documentation received. Ms. Brosche and Council Auditor Kirk Sherman are developing a list of questions to be sent to Mr. Klausner for a response. Ms. Brosche thanked the subcommittee and the staffs of the PFPF and Council Auditor’s Office for their hard work and cooperation to date.
