EMERGENCY (R)/ APPROVE 5-0
Attorney Paul Harden, agent for the Jacksonville
Jaguars, explained why emergency action had been
requested.
He proceeded to provide the Committee with background information on the
rebate program
and explained how the stadium, as a City-owned facility, benefits from the
sales taxes generated by the
Jaguars, Florida-Georgia football
games, Monster Truck Jam, the Pro Soccer game, concerts and other
Events at the stadium.
Mr. Harden further explained that the application deadline for rebate
funds from
the
State of Florida is November 1st.
The Committee heard a presentation by
Dr. Wayne Wood, Board Chair, and Vince Cavin,
Executive Director, of the Friends of Hemming Park. At the previous RCDPHS Committee meeting,
Council Member E. Denise Lee had requested that the Chair invite
representatives of FOHP to update the Committee on the progress underway to
transform the park.
Dr. Wood reported that the Friends of
Hemming Park had had its first staff meeting the previous day. He characterized the team that was announced
last week as the “best and the brightest.”
Dr. Wood reported that the FOHP is working very closely with the Parks
& Recreation and Community Services Department as it embarks on its mission
to bring about changes in the park. He
suggested that we should expect to see changes in the park within a few months;
the changes will come about incrementally.
At the
moment, the FOHP is doing what Dr. Wood characterized as ground work. By the end of the year, Dr. Wood contends,
there will be a park at the front door of City Hall that everyone will be proud
of.
Vince Cavin
used a PowerPoint to introduce the newly selected FOHP staff. He provided background information on each
new staff member and described their respective, specific
responsibilities.
Mr. Cavin
described some of the programs that the FOHP hopes to launch and implement
including a funding arm, Founding Friends, that will raise funds through such
activities as naming rights for the park’s stage; sponsorship opportunities; a
Kids Zone; food vendors, to cite a few.
Mr. Cavin reported that the FOHP is working
closely with the Office of General Counsel to assure that FOHP is on proper
footing in implementing some of its policies that it wants to implement such as
curtailing or prohibiting smoking in the park.
Council Member Lee implored FOHP to
consult with and work closely with the Museum of Contemporary Art, Emily Lisska of the Jacksonville Historical Society, the
Jacksonville Public Library and others.
Dr. Wood said that a good benchmark
with which to measure the success of FOHP achieving its goals will be if 50% of
the people using the park are women. He
envisions the park as being transformed and becoming an epicenter for family
events and activities.
In response to a question from Council
Member Don Redman (Committee Chair), Dr. Wood explained that feeding the
homeless in the park by churches and other groups would be curtailed; that kind
of activity would require permits.
Permits are now under the purview of FOHP and feeding the homeless in
the park is not something that FOHP will be permitting.
In Public Comments, John Nooney remarked on Ordinance 2014-305 (time limits for docking ).
There being no further business, the
meeting was adjourned at 3:14 P.M.
