PUBLIC COMMENTS
At
the close of the agenda, the Committee turned its attention to the items on the
RCDPHS Priority Action Sheet. Two of the
items that the Chair listed were considered and discussed. The Committee heard a presentation on bicycle
and pedestrian safety by Garth Cooper of the Jacksonville Bicycle
Coalition. Mr. Cooper depicted
The
Committee next heard a presentation on a proposed gun buyback program by
Alexandria Corder Jax Youth Works. She
described a proposed gun buyback program that would enlist the cooperation of
the Sheriff, the Mayor and the private sector.
Ms. Corder related the successful programs that Orlando and Staten
Island (NY) had experienced. Council
Member Lumb cited JCCI studies that have questioned the worth of gun buybacks
in reducing crime as opposed to going after the individuals and felons that
possess and use guns in committing crimes.
The people carrying and using the guns should be targeted rather than
the guns per se. Council Member Daniels
suggested that Ms. Corder meet and work with her in pursuing some of Ms.
Corder’s objectives.
Council
Member Daniels suggested that two items be added to the Priority List: (1) the
inconsistency of tree maintenance at stop signs in different Council Districts
and (2) J. P. Small Park (
There
being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 3:35 p.m.
