BILL SUMMARY TEU: 2-5 (FAILED)(Clark,
Johnson, Jabour, W. Jones, Redman) |
C/M Yarborough gave some background on the issue and questioned Mr. Michael Stewart, Jacksonville Airport Authority staff. It was stated that safety is a primary concern, which led C/M Yarborough to wonder why this concern had been abandoned for political expediency in prior years.
C/M Bishop advised that he had been in communication with Mr. John Falconetti, Jacksonville Airport Authority member, and apologized to C/M Yarborough for not being able to apprise him of the discussions due to Sunshine Law constraints. Mr. Falconetti noted that the Authority’s process could be more transparent. C/M Bishop added that a mutually agreeable solution good for the City might be found if both sides were to step back, and he suggested deferral of the item for 1 cycle.
PHS Chair, Kevin Hyde, DEFERRED the item as to the PHS Committee. With support from C/M Yarborough, LUZ Chair, Michael Corrigan, DEFERRED the item as to the LUZ Committee.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 5:35 p.m.
