Summary APPROVE 4-0 Jim Kowalski, Executive Director, Jacksonville Area Legal
Aid, and Attorney Howard Dale explained what the legislation entailed and
fielded questions. Council Member Garrett Dennis wanted to know if JALA had
reached out to the Jacksonville Housing Authority and if the proposed
legislation adversely affected JHA financially. Attorney Dale explained that JALA had
reached out to the Housing Authority.
He further explained that public housing units are air conditioned and
would be less likely to have screened doors.
Council President Lori Boyer, sponsor of the legislation,
explained that this is a safety issue.
She explained that the Zika virus is most threatening in hot weather
and that the densely populated urban communities are most vulnerable. Poorer communities and dwellings are less
likely to have screened doors. |

Summary APPROVE 5-0 Council Member Bill Gulliford felt that this item should
be deferred for one cycle; he would like to have a noticed meeting with the
bill’s sponsor, Council Member Garrett Dennis, to weigh the ramifications of
the legislation. Mr. Gulliford is wary
of setting a precedent. Mr. Dennis was
not inclined to defer the item; he wanted to move forward. A lengthy discussion ensued with Office of
Economic Development Director, Kirk Wendland, joining the discussion and
fielding questions. Reference was made
to Finance Director Mike Weinstein’s previously cautioning the Council on
this type of legislation, also wary of setting a precedent. |
