At the conclusion of the agenda Council Member Brown stated that Jacksonville under-invests in health-related programs compared to other counties and suggested that more needs to be done in that regard. Chairwoman Daniels expressed disappointment with the announced decision to combine the PHS and RCD Committees into a single committee in the next Council year, believing there is sufficient work for both to do and that the committees have the ability to study and produce action on issues that are not necessarily bills on the respective agendas.

 

The Chairwoman and committee members exchanged congratulations on an active and productive committee year and the members thanked Ms. Daniels for her leadership.
