The Chair had initiated a priority list
of topics that the RCDPHS could identify that merited discussion and possible
action. One of the topics that the Chair
had suggested was the City’s relationship with the Beaches. The Chair proceeded to review recent issues
that have been raised in the recent history of the City’s relationship with the
Beaches. Among the issues reviewed: the provisions of Interlocal Agreements
relating to services that the Beaches paid in tax dollars to the City of
Jacksonville for specific services.
Common interests were cited; contentious issues aired. Council Member Lumb suggested that a Council
standing committee be appointed to meet on a quarterly basis to address issues
regarding the Beaches and Baldwin.
Representatives from the Beaches, including Mayor Harriet Pruette of
Neptune Beach, reviewed issues such as “tipping fees” at the City’s landfill, that had been contentious.
Sunrise Pictures, at the invitation of
Council Member Kimberly Daniels, made a presentation. The production company is shooting a
Christian-theme movie in Jacksonville at Trinity Baptist Church and has hopes
of moving their studios to Jacksonville.
The targeted market of the production company is the world’s Christian
community. The company hopes that the
move to Jacksonville would result in the development of an entertainment
center.
The Florida Department of Health/
Tobacco Free Jacksonville Coalition made a presentation on their efforts to
discourage tobacco use, particularly with young people. The group requested that the City Council
join other local legislative bodies in approving a resolution in support of their
anti-tobacco products use efforts.
There being no further business, the
meeting was adjourned at 3:57 p.m.
