Bill Summary Deputy CAO Cleveland Ferguson gave a presentation about
the transformative effect of the proposed reorganization on City government
and stressed the continuous process improvement aspect that will lead to
greater efficiencies and cost savings. He described two new performance
measurement/analytics systems that will be rolled out to City managers and to
the general public in the next several months. He noted that the City is
operating with 500 fewer employee positions than 3 years ago. Committee
members questioned the amount of money the administration has saved to date
and projects to save into the future when compared with how the
reorganization bill was sold to the Council when originally introduced. The
committee discussed the several amendments to the substitute passed at the
last meeting and Peggy Sidman noted that at the last full Council meeting
Council Member Yarborough specifically requested that the amendments not be
rolled up into a comprehensive substitute, and the Council agreed. SUB/APPROVE 7-0 Incorporates all changes made
by the Special Committee on Reorganization and the Rules and Finance
Committees to date |

Bill Summary Council Member Crescimbeni announced the results of his
inquiries to neighboring counties about their residency requirement policies.
None have a blanket requirement for all employees; several have a residency
requirement for key personnel such as the county manager or fire chief.
Nassau County has a residency preference for applicants residing in the county. Mr. Crescimbeni proposed that
the bill be amended to require that management level employees (department
heads, division chiefs, and any appointment required to be approved by the
City Council) live in Jacksonville. DEFER |

the funds from the Solid Waste Contamination Assessment Fund for just landfill purposes, and the
