Council Auditor Kyle Billy gave an overview of Report #780A – Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office Payroll Audit Follow-up. The audit identified 23 issues (findings, internal control weaknesses, opportunities for improvement) in the original report, 7 of which have been subsequently cleared and 16 of which remain unresolved. JSO agreed with the Auditor’s findings on 15 of the remaining items and had questions about the cost-benefit of the 16th item. In response to a question, Mr. Billy said that the Sheriff’s Office and Fire and Rescue Department do not use the Time and Attendance System (TAS) used by other City departments because of the unique nature of their shift work and associated timekeeping. The TAS system will be replaced by the City’s new Enterprise Resource Planning system, which is projected to be implemented in the next fiscal year.

 

Deputy General Counsel Peggy Sidman gave a timeline for the adoption of the Property Appraiser’s budget, which must be submitted to the Florida Department of Revenue by June 1. The proposed budget will go to the Mayor’s Budget Review Committee next week and will be introduced at the first Council meeting in May for adoption on May 28th and submission to the state by the June 1 deadline.

 

 

 

NOTE:  The next regular meeting will be held Tuesday, April 16, 2019.

Council Member Morgan noted her floor amendment to the Auditor’s recommended amendment yesterday in the NCSPHS Committee to add a public purpose statement to authorize use of some of the funds for food and beverage purchases. Damian Cook of the office of Grants and Compliance agreed with the amendment and said that food and beverage purchases would be a small part of the overall program, which is aimed at crime prevention in neighborhoods. The committee discussed what amount the food and beverage cap should apply to – to individual contract expenditures or to the overall outreach activities funding amount. The committee agreed to a 5% cap on food and beverages out of the total appropriation of $764,823. Council Member Gaffney asked that the use of these funds be coordinated with the work of the Task Force on Crime and Public Safety. Council Member Gulliford noted that the funding for this program is coming from the Hanna Park Subfund and that the Huguenot Park Subfund is traditionally in a poor cash position and could use this funding. Kyle Billy said that a transfer into the Huguenot Park fund will be needed in the near future because it ended FY17-18 with a negative cash balance. At the Chairman’s request, Mr. Cook gave an overview of the Cure Violence Program and how it will attack violence in the community through the hiring of persons with real credibility and acceptance in the neighborhoods to lead community conversions and help change attitudes toward violence.

Bill Summary                   NCSPHS: Amend/Approve           TEU: Amend/Approve

 

City Landscape Architect Jeff Lucovsky explained the price increases due to the expiration and re-bidding of the City’s continuing tree planting contract, which came in much higher than the expired contract. Dave McDaniel, Chief of the Mowing and Landscape Maintenance Division, said that the latest contract re-bid has produced substantially lower prices than the original re-bid that came in with extremely high prices. The two projects recently bid outside of the scope of the continuing contract (Springfield and RAP) came in with lower prices than initially expected, closer to the amount of this latest bid.
