Presentations:

Department of Health – Update

 

Allison Hewitt talked about human trafficking since it is Human Trafficking Awareness Month. She went over how the Health Department is working to educate front desk clerks at health facilities to be aware of the signs. 

No cases of West Nile virus have been reported in 2019, but one case that was identified in November.

 

 

Nonprofit Center of Northeast Florida – Healthcare Safety Net

 

Susan Grich, President and CEO of the Health Planning Council of Northeast Florida gave an overview of where Duval is in the health rankings of Florida (42 out of 67 counties). She outlined the presentation, which is dealing with the uninsured population and how to best address their needs. 11.9% of the Jacksonville population is uninsured, the state of Florida is 12.9% and the national average is 8.8%. The other organizations that give free or low cost care to the uninsured talked about the need for health care as a funding priority and continuing to improve the collaboration between organizations.

 

CM Gulliford talked about plans that the Mayor has been pursuing for capital improvements at UF Health (a City-owned facility leased to the university to operate) and the possibilities that that would free up City indigent care funds currently being diverted to capital repairs and improvements to go back to patient care. CM Morgan asked the process if someone needs specialty care. Susan King, Executive Director for WeCare Jacksonville explained that the organization is sent the referral and coordinates the care for uninsured patients all the way through their treatment. They have to qualify that the patient earns less than 200% the national poverty level and are uninsured. Currently has 14 patients going through significant cancer treatment. The groups stated that the ranking of 42 out of 67 counties in the health ranking is solely based on underfunding. CM Hazouri talked about the struggle to market these services and get uninsured people connected with the right organizations. The organizations also talked about how long the list is for people waiting for these services. CM Newby asked why the percentage of uninsured is so much higher than that national average. The reason given by the organizations was the lack of expansion in Medicaid is the biggest reason for the higher percentage of people uninsured in Jacksonville.

BILL SUMMARY      FACT SHEET

6-0 Amend/Approve

CM Morgan asked Brian Hughes about what this bill would be trying to achieve. Mr. Hughes talked about the Ambassador Hotel and its history of blight and how this development group has found value in this space. This is an incentive package in both restoring the hotel using Historic Preservation funds and the developers will partner to create workplace housing in the surrounding area. Mr. Hughes highlighted the goal posts that have to be reached by the developers in order for the funding to be appropriated. Ms. Taylor, Assistant Council Auditor, stated the concerns from the Auditors Office that there are accumulating deals that the city is in and at some point there will be a need for significant amounts of funding to be put in these deals. The concern is just to make the Committee aware of this growing number of future financial commitments.

2018-872 Ambassador Hotel

 

Summary:

This bill will authorize the execution of a Redevelopment Agreement for the renovation of the Ambassador Hotel (420 N. Julia St.) and the construction of approximately 200 residential units of market rate housing.  The Redevelopment Agreement will provide for a grant from the Downtown Historic Preservation and Revitalization Trust Fund in the amount of $1,500,000 for the renovation of the Ambassador Hotel and a Recapture Enhanced Value (REV) Grant in the amount of $4,900,000. According to DIA’s calculation, the project will generate a Return on Investment of 1.51.

 

The developer intends to renovate and develop an approximately 127 room hotel, construct 200 units of multifamily market rate housing and a structured parking facility to serve both the hotel and housing projects.

 

CONCERN:

The Downtown Historic Preservation and Revitalization Trust Fund has been over committed. This started with the approval of Ordinance 2017-403-E which provided for a $4,000,000 grant for the Barnett Building (which has been encumbered) and a $4,000,000 grant for the Laura St. Trio. As stated on our hand-outs for Ordinance 2017-403-E and Ordinance 2018-630-E, “the Downtown Historic Preservation and Revitalization Trust Fund has enough funds for the $4 Million grant to the Barnett developer. The funding source for the $4 Million grant to the Trio developer has not yet been identified as there are not sufficient funds remaining in the Downtown Historic Preservation and Revitalization Trust Fund.” Below is a summary of proposed commitments from the trust fund that could impact the General Fund/GSD.

 

 

Another project that will have a General Fund/GSD impact is the redevelopment of the Berkman II Tower and parking garage recently approved by the DIA Board (DIA Resolution 2018-09-02). According to the term sheet, as part of the incentives for the Berkman II project, there will be an $8,250,000 Operational Grant and a $3,250,000 Redevelopment Completion Grant, both to be funded by the General Fund/GSD. If the Downtown Historic Preservation and Revitalization Trust Fund is ultimately funded by the General Fund/GSD, these pending and proposed commitments could have a total impact of $17.8 Million on the General Fund/GSD over multiple years.
