Bill Summary  

 

Council President Bishop advocated for funding of the Zoo project because the zoo is the City’s property and is one of Northeast Florida’s biggest tourism attractions.  Kelley Boree, Director of Parks and Recreation, confirmed that the zoo is considered a City park and noted that the City has for many years funded a portion of the zoo’s operations through a budget allocation run through her department’s budget. In response to a comment by Peggy Sidman about multiple amendments to the City/Zoo funding agreement, Council Member Gulliford suggested the need for a project to review all of the City’s operating contracts with other entities to determine their status and to consolidate multi-amended agreements into new, unified documents.

At the conclusion of the agenda the committee asked questions of Parks and Recreation Director Kelley Boree about the Loblolly Wetlands Mitigation Bank and trust fund.  Council Member Gulliford suggested the need for an audit of the operation of the mitigation bank and a re-examination of the management contract with the private operator.  Council Member Boyer requested the Office of General Counsel to research whether the Loblolly Mitigation Bank revenues must be used only for Better Jacksonville Plan projects or if they may be used elsewhere.  Council Member Joost requested research on whether the management contract allows the City to reserve credits from the mitigation bank for use on its own projects and Council Member Anderson asked if those credits can be reserved without paying a fee to the manager for their use.  Council Member Gulliford requested research on whether the management contract can be terminated and under what conditions.
