2012-659 (authorizing Housing Finance Authority to request $40 million bond allocation from the state bond pool) and 2012-683 (authorizing JHFA to initiate $15 million mortgage credit certificate program): Wight Greger, JHFA board member and Mark Hendrickson, JHFA’s financial consultant, will be present to discuss and answer questions.

She also noted that Mayor Brown will be speaking to the Duval Legislative Delegation’s organizational meeting tomorrow afternoon in support of the City’s J-bill to change the appointment mechanism for one of the seats on the Police and Fire Pension Fund board of trustees, and any additional support from Council Members will be very helpful
