Bill Summary The committee engaged in lengthy discussion of the merits
of hiring paid lobbying firms versus using City employees. Mario Rubio, the City’s on-staff
legislative affairs employee, described his work in the state capital. The committee debated the benefits of the
City’s membership in the Florida League of Cities and Association of Counties
and discussed the merits of trying to develop a regional legislative presence
for Northeast Florida to counterbalance the large population advantage of
South Florida. The committee discussed
the appropriate role of the City Council and the Mayor in setting legislative
priorities. AMEND/APPROVE
5-1(Joost) City Council
will establish the priorities for the paid lobbyist(s) to pursue, and a
reporting requirement will be established for the lobbyist(s) to convey
regular reports of actions and results to the Council. |

Council Member Anderson noted
that the Finance Audit Subcommittee would be meeting immediately after the
adjournment of this meeting in Conference Room A to discuss the independent
auditor contract with McGladrey and Pullen and the Council Auditor’s two most
recent audits: #720 – Property Appraiser’s Office and #721 – Oceanfront Parks
Revenues.
Council Member Boyer reported
that the Finance Department has started working on a complete CIP project
listing of all authorized, funded, under construction and completed projects as
requested during the budget process, but the task is of a magnitude that will
likely prevent it from being completed by the end of 2012 as originally
promised.
Jessica Deal of the Mayor’s
Office distributed a sample budget transfer reporting form as requested by the
committee at its last meeting, showing transactions for the last quarter of
FY11-12. Comments and suggestions on
format and content are welcomed.
Assistant Council Auditor Janice Billy suggested a column noting which
transfers are related to capital projects listed on Schedules B1a and B1b
attached to the budget ordinance.
