Summary Fact
Sheet F:
Approve DEFER This and the following item were ready for action but
after a lengthy discussion and exchange, the Chair deferred the two bills for
one cycle, citing the need to have numerous issues raised by the panel
addressed and resolved. Laura Stagner explained what the proposed legislation
entailed. She explained that before
revenue bonds were authorized, either the Executive or Legislative body of a
County or City had to sign-off on the authorization. When references were made to the Eureka
Gardens situation, Ms. Stangner reiterated that it was the Executive and not
the City Council that had signed off on that bond issuance’s authorization. When Council Member Matt Schellenberg referenced the
presentation that had been provided to the Finance Committee the previous
day, several Council Members questioned why Mr. Mark Hendrickson had not been
invited to provide a presentation on the revenue bond issuance process and
these two projects, in particular, to
RCDPHS, as well. Ms. Stagner explained
that the Chair of the Finance Committee had asked her to have the Chair of
the Jacksonville Housing Finance Authority Authority come before the Finance
Committee. Since the Chair was
unavailable, Mr. Mark Hendrickson, a consultant to the Housing & Finance
Authority, made the presentation. At
the request of the RCDPHS
Chair and Members, Ms. Stagner will have Mr. Hendrickson in
attendance at the next Committee meeting to explain the revenue bond issuance
process and answer questions about the Cathedral Towers and Mount Carmel
Gardens housing revenue bond bills. |
