Council Member Bill Gulliford explained that since he will be unable to attend the Rules Committee meeting on Tuesday, he is going to request  Council President Boyer to assign Resolution 2017-299 to PHS; this would give Mr. Gulliford an opportunity to explain why he introduced the resolution and to appeal for support for its passage.  Resolution 2017-299 implores Governor Rick Scott to declare the opiod epidemic a state medical health emergency.  Mr. Gulliford explained that UF-Health has a proposed pilot program on the table that would have peer recovery specialists on hand at the hospital to counsel patients who make repeated visits to the emergency room due to overdosing.  The specialists would counsel new patients, as well.  Funding has to be identified and acquired before the pilot program can be activated.  Mr. Gulliford implored his colleagues to support the resolution.

 

The Chair announced that he would like to schedule a Special Meeting for a Wednesday with food truck vendors and representatives of the Downtown Restaurant Association of Jacksonville.  Representatives of the latter group were at the April 11th meeting of the City Council voicing their concerns with the number of food trucks downtown and how they were negatively impacting downtown “brick & mortar” businesses.  It was suggested that this was an issue that NCIS should address.  The Chair said that he would work with Committee Members to come up with an appropriate time to meet that would be satisfactory to all parties.

 

Council President Lori Boyer announced her intention to come back to a NCIS Special Meeting to discuss legislation that she is having crafted that would amend the Recreational Trust Fund Account.  Her objective is to facilitate the process that enables private donations to sponsor programs.  Ms. Boyer indicated that she want to have the input of NCIS on the proposed legislation.

 

There being no further business, the Committee meeting was adjourned at 9:22 A.M.
