to the proposed legislation because be feels that
it is not a prudent use of the funds. |

Summary Fact Sheet SUBSTITUTE(NCIS)/
AMEND(R) x2/ APPROVE 7-0 The sub was amended to attach a BT to move the FY 16/17
budget amounts and estimated year end TDC fund balance split 50/50 to the
Development and Contingency accounts. Council President Boyer reviewed the major features of the
proposed substitute which establishes 7 categories of spending for tourist
development funds. Council Member Dennis proposed an amendment to require
that one of the three appointees required to be involved in the tourist
industry shall have experience and background in the commercial airline
industry. The amendment was additionally amended to provide that the
Jacksonville Aviation Authority also qualifies as experience and background
in the airline industry and approved as amended. Council Member Carter urged
that the new rules on making TDC grants to events not be rewritten in such a
way as to eliminate small grant awards to small, start-up events which he
believes are equally worthy of support as larger events. Mr. Carter expressed
disagreement with the proposal to restrict the Council Member appointments to
the TDC just to the Vice President and Past President; he believes other
council members may have relevant tourism-related experience as well. Council
Member Gulliford suggested the benefit of requiring a Beaches city official
as one of the three elected official members. President Boyer explained the
funding allocation categories and the process for allocating unspent funds
from one category to another at the end of a fiscal year. |

Mike Weinstein, Director, Finance & Administration, and
Greg Pease, Chief, Procurement Division, Finance & Administration,
explained what the legislation entailed.
At the end of the agenda items, Council
Member Greg Anderson, the Council’s Liaison to JEA, reported on the JEA Board
meeting that he had attended earlier in the day. He reported that JEA’s rate stabilization
initiative will result in lower bills for the utility’s customers. He also reported that the JEA Board approved
a resolution requesting that the City Council begin the mechanics in changing
the Charter’s provision on how often the Board is required to meet.
The Rules Committee had suggested that the JEA Board make a
formal request to the Council for the change.
Council Vice President John Crescimbeni
indicated that he was skeptical about the ordinance on the frequency of
JEA Board meetings. JEA had
requested that its Board meet six times a year. He contended that the less often the board
met, the less opportunity the pubic had for input at board meetings.
The Committee voted to recommend
approval in changing the frequency of JEA board meetings.
There being no further business, the
meeting was adjourned at 2:57 p.m.
