Usha Mohan, Chief of Information
Technologies, made a presentation on the P25 radio system and the City’s
funding and operations agreement with the JEA for use of the system. Council Member Boyer questioned into what
account the debt service savings on the old analog radio system would be
deposited now that the old bonds are paid off.
Council Member Anderson said that he would propose a floor amendment at
the Council meeting next week to specify an account for deposit.
APPROVE 4-2 (Boyer, Gulliford)
Dave Roman of the Mayor’s office
informed the committee of a $222,000 grant the City has been awarded from the
Department of Juvenile Justice to help pay for summer youth activities. Because of a quick deadline for receipt and
expenditure of the funds, an emergency appropriation bill will be introduced at
next Tuesday’s Council meeting for emergency action.
Public Works Director Jim Robinson gave
an update on the subject of conversion of City streetlights to more energy
efficient lamps. He reported that the
JEA is in the process of preparing a white paper on the subject comparing the
various lighting technologies available today.
LED lights are improving rapidly and appear to be overtaking compact
fluorescent lights as the next leap forward in lighting technology. Council Member Jones expressed disappointment
that there was no definitive report available for the committee today, just a
reference to an on-going JEA study. He
believes that the JEA’s motivation is not the same as the City’s with regard to
streetlights, and that new technology will reduce the JEA’s electricity sales
and therefore is not likely to be a priority.
Council Member Boyer expressed concern
that the administration has failed several times in the last few weeks to
provide the City Council with information it has requested and for which
specific deadlines were given.
Budget Officer Glenn Hansen made a
brief presentation on the Finance Department’s on-going CIP project study. A listing of the CIP projects that have been
completed was provided to the Council Auditor last week. Work continues on analyzing projects still
underway and listed for future construction.
Council Auditor Kirk Sherman commented
on the tentative budget approval process that was initiated by City Council
four years ago. The tentative budget
will be introduced in City Council next week and will be scheduled for
consideration by the Council at its second meeting in June. There are no repercussions for not acting on
the bill, or for voting to disapprove the tentative budget. Some committee members disagreed with the
Mayor’s presentation of a budget with two financial scenarios, one based on the
passage of the Police and Fire Pension Fund reform bill and the other without. Other committee members preferred to have the
two options laid out in advance so that they can see the effects of either
passing or defeating the pension bill.
