Vice President Bowman called the meeting to order and asked for the
committee reports.
Finance Committee: Council Member Dennis reviewed the actions of the
committee from its meeting. 2018-195 (appropriating $3 million from NW
Jacksonville Economic Development Fund for a supermarket incentive program): the
amendment was incorporated into the substitute so there is no separate
amendment to be moved as marked on the agenda.
LUZ Committee: Council Member Schellenberg reviewed the actions of the
committee from its meeting. 2018-154 (rezoning on Cole Road): Mr. Schellenberg
will be offering a floor amendment to clarify several of the approved conditions.
2018-171 (calling for a No Hit Zone policy) will be moved as a substitute to
incorporate both the NCSPHS Committee amendments and additional amendments
developed by several council members at a noticed meeting following the
committees last week.
NCSPHS Committee: Council Member Newby reported that all the actions
of the committee had been previously covered.
TEU Committee: Council Member Ferraro reviewed the actions of the
committee from its meeting.
Rules Committee: Council Member Carter reviewed the actions of the
committee from its meeting.
Council Member Schellenberg said that he will pull 2018-274 (honoring
and commending Bishop Lorenzo Hall) and 2018-252 (supporting designation by the
state of a portion of University Boulevard as Jim Tullis Memorial Highway) from
the consent agenda and offer an amendment to add all council members as
co-sponsors.
Vice President Bowman said that tonight will be the last meeting for
Mayor’s Office Director of Intergovernmental Affairs Ali Korman Shelton who
will be honored during the meeting.
Council Member Gulliford said that there was a meeting room conflict
this Thursday between the Special Committee on Future of JEA, which rescheduled
its meeting from 3:30 to 2:00 p.m., and his affordable housing meeting, both of
which are now scheduled in the Council Chamber for the same time. He has moved
his meeting to a meeting room at the Main Library, but asked that the Vice
President investigate how the conflict occurred and reiterate to the council
members the importance of following the proper procedure for booking meeting
rooms.
Council Member Wilson said that there will be 3 resolution presentations
tonight. Acting President Bowman said that some Brain Brawl participants will
also be recognized.
Council Member Carter requested that the Acting President add 2018-331
(Transferring $750,000 within SubFund 32E from
Maxville Pk - Football Field and Concessions Bldg Proj to Cecil Field - Phase
II Proj to fund Design/Engineering of Phase II of
Cecil Field Master Plan) to the addendum for introduction, to which Mr. Bowman
