Chairman Wilson called the meeting to order and asked the attendees to introduce themselves. He reviewed the Auditor’s marked agenda.  There were six (6) items ready for action; four (4) items being deferred; and eight (8) items being seconded and re-referred.

 

The Chair announced that Council President Lori Boyer would be at the Committee meeting to explain and field questions on Items 4 & 5 that addressed issues concerning the Tourist Development Council.

 

On Item #5, ORD-MC re Tourist Development Council; Amend Sec 70 (Membership), Ord Code…, Deputy General Counsel Peggy Sidman explained that in reviewing the measure, it was discovered that the provisions for membership terms in the Ordinance Code are at variance with Florida Statutes.

Florida Statutes sets terms for Tourist Development Council members at four years for Tourist Development Councils throughout the state.  Ms. Sidman suggested that a possible resolution of the complication could be changing Florida Statutes.

 

The Chair announced that at the Special Meeting, the Jacksonville Journey will update the NCIS Committee on their crime statistics.
