Council Auditor Kyle Billy to discuss Report:

#778A – Jacksonville Aviation Authority (JAA) Payroll Audit Follow-up

Mr. Billy reported that 9 of the 10 identified issues from the original audit (3 internal control weaknesses, 5 findings, 2 opportunities for improvement) had been cleared and one internal control weakness remained. The authority still needs to enact a standard operating procedure for the periodic review of computer access rights. The authority responded to the follow-up that it has since enacted such a policy and will review access rights twice a year. The JAA had changed its payroll system since the time the original audit was done so the follow-up checked on the operation of the new system.

 

Chairman Anderson announced that the Police and Fire Pension Fund annual actuarial report will be presented by PFPF Executive Director Tim Johnson at the next Finance meeting. The committee will also hear from the Kids Hope Alliance on Ordinance 2019-23 and on the agency’s mini-grant program at the next meeting.

 

 

 

NOTE:  The next regular meeting will be held Wednesday, February 20, 2019 due to President’s Day.

Bill Summary              TEU: Amend/Approve

 

Phillip Peterson of the Council Auditor’s Office reviewed the changes from the existing to the proposed contribution agreement and a list of advantages and disadvantages to the City and JEA relating to the new agreement. Mr. Peterson noted a listing of 8 technical/scrivener amendments on page 12 of the agenda. In response to a question from Council Member Gulliford about prioritization of septic tank phase-out areas, Council Member Boyer described the evaluation and prioritization matrix adopted by the Council several years ago. In response to a question from Council Member Boyer about the potential for utilizing new or innovative technologies for septic tank phase-outs, JEA CEO Aaron Zahn said that decentralization of treatment facilities is a growing trend in the utility industry because of the power of computing and control systems that make small package plants more feasible than they once were. JEA will commission a study of the latest innovative technologies that could help the JEA and the City to attack a more than $2 billion, 50-year-old problem with septic tanks. The study will start with no preconceptions and will explore all possible alternatives to solve a huge problem. Council Member Boyer said that the new governor and the Duval Legislative Delegation have talked about addressing the problem of septic tanks, so the time is right for JEA and the City to seek financial assistance to attack this problem.

 

In response to a question from Ms. Boyer, Jody Brooks, the JEA’s attorney, said that a draft ordinance was begun several years ago that would amend the Ordinance Code to create a mechanism for interested neighborhoods to agree to a special assessment mechanism to fund septic tank phase-outs. In response to a question from Council Member Gaffney about future JEA contributions to septic tank phase-outs above the $30 million already allocated, Mr. Zahn said that the JEA recognizes the City’s septic tank, water quality and electric utility undergrounding issues and is considering what it can do in those areas within the limitations of its resources. In response to a question from Council Member Gulliford, Mr. Zahn said that the City is paying the connection costs for properties that phase out septic tanks. Mr. Gulliford felt it would be worth investigating a mechanism for the City to recoup its investment when the property is sold since the property owner is reaping a benefit from increased property value due to the City’s investment. Council Member Boyer cautioned that the City-financed sewer tap-in methodology was chosen because placing liens on properties to recoup the investment in the future tends to discourage citizens from wanting to participate in the process and is therefore counterproductive. Mr. Zahn invited the City Council to the JEA Board’s February meeting at which a briefing on water supply and wastewater disposal issues will be given.

Council Member Gulliford thanked JFRD Chief Castleman for his excellent service to the Opioid Epidemic Task Force. Council Member Boyer asked for an explanation from the Council Auditor’s Office about the concern noted on the agenda regarding appropriation of funds not yet received. Kim Taylor said that her office always notates on agendas when a bill proposes to appropriate funds that have not yet been received from a private entity; grants from the federal and state government are less problematic because the funding is more assured. Chief Castleman reported that the department has received a notice of award from the grantor and will receive the funding as a reimbursement as long as the equipment is purchased by June 1st.
