Bill Summary Chief Kurt Wilson of the Fire and Rescue Department explained
the history of the funding source for this proposed appropriation (the fire
station diesel fume remediation project) and the reason for the delay in that
project and the availability of these funds for re-use. The reason for the
emergency is to equip all firefighters with the emergency escape equipment as
quickly as possible so as to avoid another incident such as took place
several weeks ago when a firefighter was injured jumping from a second story
window when he was trapped in burning building by flames cutting off his
escape route. Council Member Boyer requested the chief to ensure that the
diesel fumes remediation project is returned to the fire department’s 5-year
capital improvement plan and not ignored because the costs have escalated
above what is currently available. EMERG/AMEND/APPROVE

At the conclusion of the agenda the committee took public
comment from two speakers.
Kim Pryor of the group Preservation SOS spoke in opposition
to the passage of Resolution 2014-215 confirming the appointment of Kim Scott
as Director of the Regulatory Compliance Department on the grounds that Ms.
Scott does not have the required 5 years of experience in environmental
regulation and has been responsible, through her activities as Chief of the
Code Enforcement Division, for violations of U.S. EPA regulations regarding the
procedures necessary for safe demolition of buildings containing asbestos.
Joe Markosic, also with Preservation SOS, stated that the
City of Jacksonville is violating the terms of some of its federal grants by
using the funds for the purpose of demolishing potentially historic buildings,
which is prohibited under the terms of the grants.
