Bill Summary                              Fact Sheet                         R: Amend/Read 2nd & Rerefer 5-0  

TEU: Amend/Read 2nd & Rerefer

 

Deputy General Counsel Peggy Sidman explained the purpose behind amending the bill to replace the attached lease before requesting re-referral.  Council Auditor Kirk Sherman urged the Council to use this opportunity to get a complete, restated Jaguars lease for EverBank Field that incorporates the original lease and all 11 (12 if this bill is approved) amendments into one comprehensive document.  That will make the process of analyzing future amendment proposals considerably quicker and easier.  Mayor’s Chief of Staff Chris Hand agreed to convey that suggestion to Jaguars team personnel. 

 

Council Member Anderson abstained from the vote due to his employment with EverBank, the naming sponsor of the stadium.

Teresa Eichner of the Mayor’s office reported that she is working with the Information Technology Division on developing a master list of all the agencies that receive funding of any type from the City and the various sources of that funding.  The database will be searchable by agency and by funding source.

 

Peggy Sidman reminded the committee that the last council meeting of the calendar year will be December 10th and that any bills needing to be enacted on third reading at that meeting will need to be filed for introduction no later than the council meeting of November 12th.
