BILL SUMMARY      FACT SHEET

6-1 Amend/Approve

CM Freeman offered a Floor Amendment. Joey Grieve, Chief Financial Officer of the City of Jacksonville explained the proposed Floor Amendment. The amendment reduced the amount borrowed from $18 million to $14.5 million. $3 million was found in the Downtown Economic Development Fund. The Floor Amendment was passed. CM Wilson asked for someone from the administration to explain how we got to this dollar figure of $18 million. Brian Hughes, Mayor’s Chief of Staff, explained the dollar amount came from an ongoing negotiation with the lease holder and it is the best estimation of the administration for the long term value of the initial investment. CM Morgan asked about the impact on the tenants. By the end of the negotiation there were 31 tenants. 27 of the 31 tenants were leasing for short term 30 days leases and the 4 others had different lease terms. CM Hazouri asked about the parking on the site. Jason Gabriel, Office of General Counsel, stated that with this acquisition the City of Jacksonville will obtain the East Parcel parking lot and be able to obtain the revenue from the use of that lot. The trial in July is about how much the city owes in regards to the East Parcel and specific accounting issues. CM Dennis stated he was taken aback by the number of $18 million and thought it seemed out of step with the Property Appraisers value of the property at around $4 million. Brian Hughes stated that it is not a purchase sale, but it is a lease termination. Brian Hiughes stated that it is based on the time value of the parcel and not the structure.

Discussion Points:

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.

7-0 Amend/Approve

CM Ferraro spoke about how this bill will help a lot of waterfront communities all over Jacksonville. Reed Island has historically been used as a spoil disposal site for dredge materials from the waterways and by being able to protect this land from the rising salt water it will keep property values up in the protected areas. CM Boyer stated that in the Waterways Commission it was approved with a conidition that was not added into the current bill. CM Boyer said she would look into it and add during the Finance Committee.

BILL SUMMARY

6-1 Amend/Approve

CM Dennis asked for this bill to be deferred. CM Boyer explained conversations had with the purchaser and the city staff as well as the “Boyer Amendment”. CM Morgan asked Daryl Joseph, Parks and Recreation, about the park space. Mr. Joseph stated that the park space is specifically 4 acres of the 8 acres. Currently the city is determining where an open ballfield space could be placed as well as a linear park that connects communities. The park land would be in the same area outlined in the plan. The deferral was voted down 3-4. CM Dennis stated that he could not vote for this bill which is in his district without having adequate time to read through the redevelopment proposed. CM Wilson asked if someone could speak to any reason the bill needed to be taken up today. CM Ferraro spoke about the value this bill will have in the community and his reaons for having his name on it. CM Dennis asked for an amendment to the “Boyer Amendment” which would move the boundary line to Interstate 95 on the east side of the map. The “Boyer Amendment”, CM Dennis’ amendment and the Auditor’s amendment were all voted on to be rolled into one amendment.  School Board Member Warren Jones, during public comment, spoke about the importance of the community having a voice in the plan.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Discussion Point:

 

As filed, the purchase and sale agreement states that the City will contribute $1,540,777 toward ash site remediation at the subject property, and in the event this amount is not sufficient to complete the ash site remediation, the City would be obligated to fund the shortfall.
