FINANCE COMMITTEE AGENDA MEETING MINUTES

 

March 5, 2012

9:30 a.m.

 

City Council Conference Room A

Suite 425, City Hall

117 West Duval Street

 

Attendance:  Council Members John Crescimbeni (Chair), Greg Anderson (Vice Chair), Lori Boyer, Bill Gulliford, Clay Yarborough and John Crescimbeni

See attached sign-in sheet for additional attendees

 

The Chairman called the meeting to order at 9:34 a.m. and reviewed the Council Auditor’s marked agenda which showed 4 items marked for deferral, 18 items ready for action (1 for withdrawal, 3 as emergencies) and 8 items for second reading and re-referral.

 

2012-70 (lease with Old Plank Road Baptist Church): Peggy Sidman explained the provisions of Council Member Carter’s proposed substitute, drafted to address concerns raised by the committee at its last meeting.

 

2013-53 (transferring unused grant match funds and JEDC fund balance to remove departmental extraordinary lapses): given the Mayor’s announcement yesterday of proposed uses for the funds, the bill will likely have to be amended substantially.  The Council Auditor’s Office has not had the opportunity to review the Mayor’s new proposals for the funds, so deferral may be in order.  Deferral is problematic, however, since the need to determine the final destination of the JEDC fund balance is holding up work on the City’s independent audit.

 

2013-94 (3 year waiver of the mobility fee): will be the subject of a joint Rules/TEU/Finance committee meeting on Monday, March 11 at 4:00 p.m.

 

2013-92 (appropriating $898,105 of Supervisor of Elections’ FY12 budget savings to pay down the office’s Banking Fund debt): Council Member Boyer has questions for the Council Auditor about how this appropriation relates to other fiscal year closeout-related legislation.

 

2013-105 (approving Florida Inland Navigation District annual grant application list): Chairman Crescimbeni noted that the administration’s FIND project list is attached to the agenda.  At the meeting a revised priority list developed by the Jacksonville Waterways Commission will be distributed.

 

There being no further business, the agenda meeting was adjourned at 9:45 a.m.
