Annual
Fee Report
Council
Auditor Kyle Billy noted that for several years the City Council has waived the
Ordinance Code requirement that the administration do an annual fee review to
ensure that full costs are being recouped for services provided. The
administration had agreed to provide the report by June 30th this year. Mayor’s
Chief of Staff Brian Hughes said that the report will be addressed in the
budget hearings beginning in August.
FEMA
hurricane reimbursement update
Phillip
Peterson of the Council Auditor’s Office gave a report on the process by which
the City submits claims to FEMA for reimbursement for hurricane damages. $60
million of project expenses have been submitted to FEMA for Hurricane Irma
expenses. The City and FEMA must agree on project scopes for the recovery
projects, then the projects and paperwork go through the
state for the reimbursement of previous expenditures. Supporting documentation
for $3 million of expenses has been submitted, with $57 million more to be approved
by FEMA. Council Member Boyer indicated continuing confusion about where the
FEMA funding stands – she has heard conflicting reports about whether FEMA has
sent emergency funding to the state for distribution or not. It is still unclear
where the holdup lies two years after the storm.
NOTE:
Due to the Summer Break, the next regular meeting will be held Tuesday,
July 16, 2019.

Bill
Summary Fact
Sheet Chairman Anderson expressed his
preference to allow all members to discuss the bill before any motions are
offered in order to allow a free flow of discussion not limited by the
substance of a motion. Council Member Boyer expressed a desire to offer a
motion to defer the bill and let the new City Council take up the issue with
more information about the full details of the school construction plan. She
cautioned that the bond rating agencies closely scrutinize the City’s
available cash flow to pay debt service on its bonds, which may be impacted
by the presence or absence of a school district sales tax to pay for its debt
service that may affect the total amount of ad valorem revenue that may be
available to the City. Ms. Boyer offered a motion to defer the bill. School Superintendent Diana Greene
said that a deferral would impact the ability of the district to get the
question on a November 2019 special election and will continue to cost the
district millions annually in maintenance and repair costs until new schools
are built. Nancy Garcia of the Northeast Florida
Association of Realtors expressed the association’s support for the bill and
holding the referendum in November 2019 because of the importance of quality
schools to families deciding where to live. The association’s realtors hear
stories daily about families avoiding Jacksonville and choosing to live in
adjacent counties because of the reputation of Jacksonville’s schools. State Senator Audrey Gibson advocated
for passage of the bill and the referendum to improve the quality of the
county’s schools. The needs are great and the process of scheduling a
referendum is difficult, so it would be unwise to lose the current momentum. In response to a question from
Council Member Morgan, Superintendent Greene described the 20+ community
meetings the district has held to explain the construction plan and the
planned school consolidation process. The School Board will vote on a final
comprehensive plan at its first meeting in July. In response to another
question from Ms. Morgan, Terrie Brady, President of Duval Teachers United,
said that substandard school conditions have been an issue in the county for
at least 40 years or more and need to be remedied. Council Member Gulliford said that he
supported the deferral so that the school district and other proponents could
marshal the greatest possible support to make the referendum, whenever it is
scheduled, a success in a city that tends to have an anti-tax bias. Jeanne Miller, CEO of the
Jacksonville Civic Council, said that the Civic Council agrees with the
importance of and needs of the school district and wants a sales tax
referendum to be successful when held. The financial numbers on the sales tax
revenues and the building needs don’t seem to add up. Civic Council urges
that the district’s capital plan comply with 4 principles: 1) construction
should adhere to the state’s standard school building codes; 2) use actual
enrollment trends, taking charter school enrollment into account; 3) charter
schools should get a fair shot at receiving a portion of the sales tax
funding; and 4) the district needs to ensure that the referendum succeeds,
which requires a fully vetted building and financing plan approved by the
School Board and with substantial community buy-in that doesn’t yet exist. In response to a question from
Council Member Love, Michelle Begley, CFO for the School District, explained
the school district’s state and local funding sources and the factors that
have negatively affected the district’s revenues in recent years. Council Member Love advocated for
moving the bill and scheduling the referendum for November 2019. Council
Member Newby advocated for the referendum to be held next year. In response to a question from Mr.
Newby, Superintendent Greene said that the priority for new schools will be
decided before the November referendum if it is scheduled for then, and that
a citizens committee will be involved in determining the priorities. Council Member Anderson, having
relinquished the chair to debate the motion, described the City Council’s
legal role in determining if and when the school district could hold the
referendum based on the General Counsel’s recent legal opinion. The City
Council has fiduciary responsibility for its decision, but the School Board
ultimately owns the plan and the citizens determine whether they approve of
the sales tax or not. He does not believe the plan is sufficiently complete
to ensure its success in a November 2019 referendum. Council Member Crescimbeni summarized
information he has received from the General Counsel’s Office regarding recently
HB 5 recently enacted by the Florida Legislature and signed by the Governor which
requires that any sales surtax referendum held after January 1, 2020 must go
on a general election ballot. A future City Council could rescind the current
council’s decision to authorize a referendum. He is struggling with defining
his role in this process as a council member versus as a citizen and noted
that undertaking a referendum is a major challenge that needs substantial
support to be successful. In response to a question from
Council Member Gaffney, School Board Member Warren Jones said that the
community understands the district’s problems and needs and the general
public deserves the right to express its opinion sooner rather than later.
All of the details that everyone needs will be available before a November
election and the board will formally adopt the building plan, which has been
much debated and discussed, at its first July meeting. Council Member Boyer said that the
City Council should have a role to play in helping to determine the amount of
money needed to be borrowed and the school district’s ability to pay the debt
service. She believes that many more details need to be provided before the
Council and the general public will feel comfortable knowing that the plan
will work and will achieve the goals that everyone hopes it will do. Council Member Morgan moved to change the date of the
referendum to November 2020. Deputy General Counsel Peggy Sidman said
that the motion was not proper - the pending motion to defer the bill must be
disposed of first, then if not deferred, the bill could be subject to
amendment. Attorney Stephen Durden said that the
deadline for Council to act in order to get the issue on the ballot for a
November 2019 election is July 23rd, but the Supervisor of
Elections may not be able to have a full slate of early voting sites and
would not be able to do vote-by-mail in that timeframe, leaving only a precinct-based
election. The Supervisor will be at the Rules Committee today to confirm
that. The
motion to defer failed 3-4 (Boyer, Gulliford and Anderson in
favor). Council Member Morgan moved an amendment to change the referendum date to November
3, 2020. In response to a question from
Council Member Gaffney, Superintendent Greene said that the School Board is
committed to giving the Council any information it needs to be comfortable in
making the decision. School Board Chair Barbara Hershey indicated the board’s
willingness to make periodic reports to the City Council on the progress of
the building plan. The
Morgan amendment was approved 6-1 (Boyer opposed) Council Member Anderson, having
relinquished the chair, offered an
amendment to the bill to require
the Joint Planning Committee to review the Master Facility Plan as
proposed by the School Board and provide an advisory recommendation to the
City Council and School Board. The
Anderson amendment was approved 7-0. Council Member Gaffney expressed an
interest in appointing new membership to the Joint Planning Committee and
asked how that could be done. Peggy Sidman said that the committee is comprised
of elected officials and citizens appointed by the Mayor, Council and the
School Board and those entities could replace the current membership at their
discretion. Council Member Boyer said that there
is currently no requirement that the school district’s master facilities plan
contain specific financial data about expenditures planned based on bonding
capacity or specific information on the facilities to be built or renovated
and their order of priority. Council Member Morgan offered an
amendment to require the school district to disclose prior to the referendum
(by no later than June 1, 2020): 1) financial details about how much will be
borrowed and spent pay-as-you-go to finance the proposed building plan, and 2)
details of the scope and priorities of the building plan. Peggy Sidman cautioned that there is
a separation of powers between City Council and the School Board and noted
that the Joint Planning Committee is purely an advisory body with no binding
power over the actions of either body. The
Morgan amendment was approved 7-0. AMEND/APPROVE
