BILL SUMMARY DEFER Public
Hearings were opened for five (5) appeals of the 911 Emergency Addressing
Advisory Committee’s recommendations for address reassignments on Council
Member Don Redman, who represents the Council District where the address
sites are located (Southpoint Parkway), was concerned that he was not
involved with or abreast of the 911 Committee’s work and meetings that
culminated in the proposed legislation.
He indicated that he was available to meet with the parties that were present
for the public hearing who had problems with the proposed address
reassignments. The Committee heard
from tenants and property owners who cited problems that they had with the
proposed address reassignments. The
Chair asked Assistant General Counsel Cherry Shaw to explain what sufficiency
entailed in the quasi-judicial proceedings.
On a motion, the Committee Members indicated that sufficiency had been
reached. The Public Hearings were
continued. |

BILL SUMMARY APPROVE 3 – 3 FAILED(CLARK,
GAFFNEY, REDMAN) Prior
to the discussion, the Chair announced that though a number of citizens had
come and filled out speakers cards, there would be no Public Hearing on the
item at this particular meeting. Gary
Frost, Georgia-Pacific, Operations Manager, provided the Committee with some
historical background on the pipeline issue, with the Georgia-Pacific’s
initial application for a permit in 1993.
He related the numerous steps and expenditures (over $200 million)
that G-P had allocated to upgrade the physical plant at the mill to reduce
phosphorous and nitrogen discharges and to reduce effluent color. It was Georgia-Pacific’s intent to continue
its discharge operations into Mill Creek; when it was established that water
quality standards could not be met for Mill Creek, an Administrative Law Judge
gave the green light to G-P for the construction of a pipeline to the St.
Johns River as an alternative. Mr.
Frost said that Georgia-Pacific had done everything that was expected and
required of them to meet requirements of the Environmental Protection Agency
(federal) and Florida Department of Environment Protection. Mr.
Frost described the plant’s economic impact in The
Council
Member Richard Clark requested that Representative
Ray indicated that the resolution was significant; that it mattered. He proceeded to discuss the uncertainties
that the resolution represented for prospective businesses considering a move
to Council
Member Clark asked Greg Strong, Northeast Director, Florida Department of
Environmental Protection, if Georgia-Pacific had met all requested, relevant
questions. Mr. Strong said that DEP’s
interests had been sufficiently addressed.
Council Member Dr. Johnny Gaffney wanted to know if the resolution
would be counter-productive to the interests of Council
Member Love questioned Mr. Strong on the ramifications of dioxins in the
river. As
a result of the 3-3 vote of the Committee, the item remains on the
Committee’s agenda. |
