Motion: Council Member Jabour moved to amend to provide that council members may not accept anything, including food and beverages, from a registered lobbyist – fails

 

Council Member Joost cautioned against the unintended consequences of a “zero tolerance” policy.  Council Member Hyde asked the Ethics Commission to comment on the proposed $25 limit on accepting food and beverages.  Carla Miller and Katie Dearing stated that $25 was not the “gold standard” of a perfect world (that would be $0), but was a good compromise that would allow council members to attend events and partake in a continental breakfast or occasional modest lunch or dinner with a civic group or labor union without running afoul of a zero tolerance standard.

 

Motion (Hyde): amend to provide that any food or beverage valued under $25 should not be counted toward the $250 cumulative gift amount that is allowed per year – approved

 

The committee discussed the issue of registered vs. unregistered lobbyists, and the difficulty of knowing when one has received a gift from a principal who has hired a lobbyist; Mr. Rohan stated that it is incumbent, albeit uncomfortable, for council members to ask the hard questions about whom a gift is from before accepting anything.

 

Adam Hollingsworth raised the issue of post-City employment and the difficulty the bill poses, as currently written, to recruiting good employees who may find themselves practically unemployable in Jacksonville for 2 years after playing a role in City contracting.  He and Ms. Dearing of the Ethics Commission have been negotiating potential compromise language.  Mr. Hollingsworth stated that the post-employment proposal is far stricter than anything else in existence in Florida or around the nation.  He proposed exempting any current City employee from the effects of the post-employment ban and exempting participation in any competitively procured contract from the ban.  Council Auditor Kirk Sherman stated his belief that the Professional Services Evaluation Committee process ought not to be included in the “competitively procured” exemption, as the process is susceptible to being dominated by the 2 representatives of the using agency, who would stand to benefit the most from post-City employment with a contractor.

 

Motion - Floor Amendment:

  1. Establish food gifts under $25 as not reportable
  2. Prohibition of employment with company whom City has contracts with shall not apply to contacts entered into prior to 1/1/08, or contracts that have been competitively procured.
  3. Auditor and administration to agree on definition of  “competitively procured”
  4. Define “substantial and decision-making role” in procurement process
