The meeting was called to
order at 3:30 p.m. by Chairman Hyde who reviewed the marked agenda, which
included 4 items to be deferred, 7 items ready for action and 6 items
recommended for second reading and re-referral.
With regard to 2008-52
appropriating $3,300 from a Full Service Schools grant for the purchase of
printed materials for the Stop Teen Underage Drinking Program, Councilman
Redman wondered if the appropriation was diverting funds from other Full
Service Schools program. Cheryl Runyon
of the Sheriff’s Office should be present at the committee meeting and can
answer that question. In response to a
question about why 2008-72 waives the provision that communications towers in
public parks be camouflaged, Jeff Clements stated that it was his understanding
that the Sheriff’s Office requested the waiver so that it could utilize the
tower for JSO communications antennas that are somehow incompatible with the
camouflage system. With regard to
2008-88, a new introduction making amendments to the Public Service Grant
process, Steve Rohan noted that there are several scrivener’s errors to be
corrected; the chairman preferred to make the corrections at the next committee
meeting.
Mr. Hyde noted that his draft
legislation to incorporate the PHS Committee’s findings and recommendations
from its crime and safety forums was distributed at the last committee meeting,
and he has received several proposed amendments from committee members. He will incorporate those suggestions and
file the legislation for introduction under the committee’s sponsorship. He also anticipates that this bill will also
be the vehicle for legislatively considering the results of the Jacksonville
Journey process.
There being no further
business, the meeting was adjourned at 3:36 p.m.
