Dave Roman of the Mayor’s Office made a brief presentation on a Department of Juvenile Justice Grant that the City of Jacksonville had recently been awarded. Mr. Roman indicated that the City had been notified of the award Tuesday, May 28th. Mr. Roman explained that this award from the State of Florida had to be used in its entirety by September 30th. He expects an emergency appropriation bill to be submitted to the City Council at its next meeting. Mr. Roman explained that the grant will primarily be used to fund positions in the Summer Night Lights summer jobs program. It is hoped that the program will help reduce juvenile crime. No City match is required. Kelly Boree, Parks & Recreation Department, also explained what the grant and program entailed.

APPROVE 5-1 (REDMAN) Assistant General Counsel Janice Billy explained the
amendment. Steve Long, Public Works, explained the Riverwalk
project. There was considerable focus
on the ponds, two of which will be under the purview of the City and one
FDOT’s responsibility. Mr. Long
explained that the ponds are in poor condition and that the renovation
project would enable the ponds to be brought to compliance with the
permit. Council Member Don Redman had
an issue with the amount of money being allocated for the permanent
maintenance of the ponds. He indicated
that he would be voting against the ordinance because of that concern. Council Member Reggie Brown commented that
while he was supportive of the Riverwalk project as a whole, he had concerns
about the retention ponds. |
