	Emergency approved 4-1 (Lee opposed) In response to a question, Assistant Council Auditor Janice Billy explained the authorized uses of the Environmental Protection Board Trust Fund, which includes one-time, special purpose studies on environmental issues. Council Member Lee expressed her opposition to using the EPB Trust Fund as the source for this project because it collects revenues in the form of citations for violations of environmental regulations in particular areas and this bill would appropriate those neighborhood-derived funds to a city-wide purpose rather than for remediation of the conditions that caused the cited violations. She also expressed her opposition to sole-sourcing the study to JU rather than opening up the process for competitive RFPs, and opposed the lack of clarity caused by the inclusion of language stating that the project is to be contracted to “JU, among others”. Assistant General Counsel Peggy Sidman explained how the Procurement Code makes provision for sole-source contracts to obtain particular expertise or to support the particular needs of litigation. Council Member Bishop explained that the purpose of the bill is to allow Jacksonville to “get out in front” with real data on the issue of water withdrawals from the St. Johns River before the Water Management District begins making decisions on applications for consumptive use permits, such as the one currently pending for Seminole County which may be decided next week. JU and UNF are already performing a study of many aspects of the condition of the St. Johns River, so it seems to make sense to utilize that existing work and database by expanding the scope of that study to add water withdrawal considerations. In response to a question about the progress of the JU/UNF study, Vince Seibold of the Air and Water Quality Division reported that it should be complete by the end of April. Council Member Bishop expressed his willingness to amend the bill to delete the words “among others” to clarify that the contract is to be awarded to JU. Council Member Joost offered that deletion in the form of an amendment. Council Member Graham noted that the bill should have been referred to the Rules Committee as it contained an Ordinance Code waiver, but did not appear to have been referred there. Peggy Sidman explained that, absent a referral to the Rules Committee for this committee cycle, action on the bill would require a 2/3 vote of the City Council to approve it next Tuesday, either by way of waiving the requirement that the bill be referred to Rules for consideration of the waiver issue, or by way of discharging it from Rules should the bill be referred there by the Council President this week. Alternatively, the Rules Committee might hold a special called meeting before next Tuesday’s Council meeting to consider the bill. DEFER

There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 3:20 p.m.
