being honored in Resolution 2018-218 (honoring JEA linemen) will be in the
audience tonight and asked that they be recognized. The bill will be pulled
from the consent agenda and the council amendment (add all council members as
co-sponsors) offered. Council Member Ferraro
asked that 2018-165 (requiring members of boards or commissions to resign from
the entity before applying for employment with that agency) be pulled from the

Council Member Becton will offer a floor amendment on 2018-130 (rezoning
on State Road A1A) regarding parking.
President Brosche said there were several requests for addenda to the
agenda. Council Member Gulliford asked to add a bill to modify and expand the
funding for the opioid pilot program (at no additional cost to the City) to run
through the end of the fiscal year. Introduction this week will avoid need for
emergency action next cycle. Council Member Boyer asked for introduction of
2018-251 to appropriate funds to survey cross-sections of McCoy’s Creek to
provide needed base data; no emergency action is requested, just introduction. Council
Member Crescimbeni said that the Florida Senate passed a bill naming a portion
of University Boulevard in Arlington as “Jim Tullis Memorial Road”, and
requests that the City Council adopt a resolution approving that designation
before signs will be erected. He requests that 2018-252 be introduced tonight,
with no emergency action requested.
Council Member Carter requested an explanation of the withdrawal of
2018-57 (Fishing Creek legal settlement). Council Member Boyer explained the
need to correct the names of the property owners who will be participating in the
special assessment district, which differ from the persons involved in the
lawsuit and legal settlement.
