President Aaron Bowman
Dependent special districts presentation
Assistant Council Auditor Kim Taylor made a presentation on
the City’s dependent special purpose taxing districts, all of which are for the
purpose of dredging private canals and waterways. The City Council approves
their annual assessments by ordinance. Council Member Gulliford said that there
appears to be a large siltation problem in Jacksonville in recent years and
Jaxport is having to budget considerably more than in the past for its dredging
needs. He suspects these districts may have to do the same as well. In response
to a question from Council President Bowman, Kim Taylor said that the districts
pay an administrative fee to the Tax Collector and Property Appraiser for their
costs incurred in collecting the assessments. Council Member Boyer pointed out
that there are other community development districts (such as Tamaya) that also
impose special assessments for roads, recreational facilities, etc. She noted
that Jaxport has in the past explored the option of purchasing dredging
equipment to serve the dredging needs of the authority’s facilities rather than
hiring a contractor and she suggested that if that comes to pass, perhaps these
special assessment districts could contract with Jaxport for dredging services
in their areas and the City could utilize that equipment for dredging its boat
ramps and docks. Council Member Gaffney asked about the potential to create a
special district for other kinds of neighborhood improvements apart from
dredging. Deputy General Counsel Peggy Sidman noted the possibility of creating
Community Redevelopment Area tax increment financing districts to capture a
portion of the tax dollars that would otherwise go to the General Fund and also
other types of special assessment districts for particular neighborhoods funded
by the area property owners.

SUMMARY NCSPHS: Amend/Approve Discussion Points: ·
The City has a license
agreement with Lutheran Services Florida, Inc. for operating Head Start at
1314 Union Street W (one of the parcels being sold). The license agreement expires July 15, 2022
and is for $1 per year. The City is permitted to terminate its license agreement
with Head Start by providing 30 days’ written notice. ·
Section 7 of the
Purchase and Sale agreement states that the City will relocate Head Start to
the Florida C. Dwight Park or another mutually agreeable location. ·
The cost to relocate
and renovate an existing structure or possibly construct a new facility is
unknown at this time until a location is selected. Per the Agreement, the
buyer will contribute $70,000 towards these costs. ·
If the parties are
unable to come to an agreement on Head Start’s new location, either party can
terminate the Agreement and the buyer will be refunded its deposit. Kim Taylor reviewed the amendments as passed by the NCSPHS
Committee yesterday, particularly with regard to maintenance of operation of
the Head Start program in the area. Daryl Joseph, Director of the Parks,
Recreation and Community Services Department, said that he had communicated
with Lutheran Social Services and had a letter from that organization
agreeing to the terms as outlined in the amendments. Emily Pierce of Load
King expressed the company’s agreement with the proposed amendments. Council
Member Boyer questioned the use of most or all of the sale proceeds for a new
Head Start center, which she believes makes the deal less favorable for the
City than the original deal with regard to replacing the park property being
lost to the project. Ms. Pierce said that this revision regarding the use of
the funds for the Head Start center was requested by the City administration.
Daryl Joseph said that the funds will be used to improve a City park building
at Florida C. Dwight Park to house the relocated Head Start program and he is
working with a contractor to estimate the price of the improvements. Ms.
Pierce said that the project would allow Load King to consolidate its
operations into an expanded facility and their move out of a remote building
would enable the Sheriff’s Office to utilize that full building, of which
they currently lease a portion. Council Member Gulliford suggested that the
purchase price of the property reflect its value to Load King, which may be
above the appraised value for another independent purchaser. In response to a
question from Chairman Anderson, Mr. Joseph said that the department’s trail
plan does not contemplate any further extension from that site, so this sale
would not impact trail plans. DEFER 7-0 |

SUMMARY Fact Sheet NCSPHS: Approve Kirk
Wendland of the Office of Economic Development gave an overview of the full
service grocery story attraction program (10,000 square feet or more,
carrying specified types of food products, in a food desert area) and the
incentives that will be offered.There are also possibilities for 4 non-traditional
types of solutions such as mobile markets, food delivery systems, etc.
Council Member Gaffney said that there are other options such as urban
gardening and food bank expansions that might be more cost-effective than this
program as proposed. He opposes investing so much money in one potential
store operator and said that this program doesn’t reflect his intention in
introducing the original food desert legislation last year. Mr. Wendland gave
the context for the program and the City Council’s original expectation that
a grocer could be attracted to re-open 2 recently-closed supermarkets or
build a new grocery store in the Northwest area. This bill creates a program
but does not fund any particular project; that would require further Council
approval at a later date. Council Member Newby noted that the funding for
this project came from the Northwest Economic Development Fund and needs to
benefit the Northwest area before other ideas are tried in other parts of the
city. Council Member Boyer suggested an amendment to require that the the OED
propose allocations of the entire $3 million in funding for a variety of
programs before any single project can be approved. Boyer amendment: include a
requirement that prior to appropriating funds to any particular project using
the grocery store improvement program, OED will have presented to Council via
legislation for consideration and approval the 4 other program options
recommended by the consultant and propose a funding allocation among all the programs
– Council
Member Gaffney urged the OED to hold a meeting with all potentially
interested parties offering various solutions to the food desert problem. Tony
Brown, the OED’s consultant on the grocery store project, said the report
finds that the grocery store industry is rapidly changing, particularly in
the areas of delivery services and pick-up of on-line purchases at local
stores. Attracting capital for a grocery store in this changing industry is a
difficult prospect. He supported the spirit of the Boyer amendment. The Boyer amendment
was approved Council
Member Gulliford said that any program must allow private businesses to make
money in order to be successful. He said that Jacksonville has food deserts
citywide and will have a hard time finding $1.5 million to attract a store to
every area that needs one. AMEND/APPROVE 7-0 include a
requirement that prior to appropriating funds to any particular project using
the grocery store improvement program, OED will have presented to Council via
legislation for consideration and approval the 4 other program options
recommended by the consultant and propose a funding allocation among all the programs |

SUMMARY TEU: Amend/Approve Council Member Boyer explained the Model Mile project and
its compatibility with the Park Street Road Diet project and the DIA’s plans
for improvements in the area. She explained the transfer of funds among
various fair share interest earnings and mobility fee bike and pedestrian
funds to free up General Fund dollars that can be used for this purpose. She
said that Groundworks Jax has committed to raising $900,000 for this project;
if that funding is raised before the end of the fiscal year then it can be
budgeted this year or could be budgeted in FY19-20. The City is negotiating a
Memorandum of Understanding with Groundworks Jax to act as the manager for
the design of the $3.6 million Model Mile project. Kay Ehas, CEO of
Groundworks Jax, described the Emerald Trail project as a 20-mile greenway
circling downtown and incorporating Hogan’s and McCoy’s Creek and the St.
Johns River. The estimated cost is $32 million for the entire Emerald Trail. AMEND/APPROVE

SUMMARY Fact
Sheet TEU: Amend/Approve Council Member Boyer expressed concernt about the waivers
in 2019-249, -250 and -251 to allow use of the EPB fund (revenue from fines
for environemental violations) for research, studies, publications, etc.
moreso than for actual programs that improve the environment in tangible ways
(cleanup projects, production of public service announcements, fertilizer
education programs in retail outlets, etc.). Fines collected for
environmental violations are not directly cleaning up the damages that
produced the revenues in the first place. James Richardson, EPB staff,
committed to informing the board about
Ms. Boyer’s concerns and recommendations. AMEND/APPROVE

SUMMARY Fact
Sheet NCSPHS: Emergency/Approve
Council President Bowman explained the need for the
emergency action on the bill today. The company’s permanent facility is under
construction now and the hiring process is ready to begin. The company needs help
finding office space which the space at Cecil Commerce Center will serve. Kirk
Wendland of the Office of Economic Development gave an overview of the Wayfair
project (Project Empire) and the request by the company to amend the City
standard lease. He described the amendments and characterized them as largely
technical in nature. Council Member Gaffney asked to speak to Mr. Wendland
separately about the types of jobs available and the company’s willingness to
consider hiring of ex-offenders. In response to a question from Chairman
Anderson, attorney John Sawyer of the General Counsel’s Office said that the
amendments are under review by the City’s Risk Management Office and the
contract will be worded as that office requires.
The 10 amendments were approved as a Finance amendment.
