Bill Summary PH-SUB/AMEND/APPROVE
5 – 0 The Substitute
approves a development agreement instead of amending a fair share
contract. The amendment offered by CM
Crescimbeni to the substitute was amend Exhibit H of the agreement to state
that the City will assist Harmony instead of ensure that JTA will begin
construction within 3 months of Harmony Starting construction and include a
statement that there is no penalty to the City if JTA does
not begin construction within 3 months. Attorney Steve Diebenow, representing the property owner,
“Harmony Farms,” explained what the substitute legislation entailed and
provided background on the history of the project, going back to the fall of
last year. He urged the panel to vote
to recommend approval of the measure in today’s meeting. Mr. Diebenow indicated that the substitute
legislation was crafted after discussions and working with the Committee
Chair, Council Member Jim Love, the
Office of General Counsel, Jody Brooks, in particular, and the Council
Auditor’s Office. Council Member Greg
Anderson had questions concerning the funding of the road project. Council Members John Crescimbeni and
Stephen Joost raised concerns as well. Mr. Diebenow and Assistant General Counsel Jody Brooks
addressed concerns and fielded questions. Council Member Anderson asked the Office of General
Counsel if that office had had an opportunity to review the revised
development agreement in the legislation.
Assistant Council Auditor Janice Billy indicated that the Council
Auditor’s Office was satisfied with the revised development agreement in the
proposed legislation. John Pappas, Public Works Department, felt that the
revised development agreement and the proposed legislation were satisfactory,
as well. Council Member Crescimbeni suggested that language be added to the
effect that the City would assist the developer in its efforts to encourage
JTA to begin their portion of the road (Parramore Road Connector) and that
the developer would not be penalized if JTA declined. |

Council Member Matt Schellenberg
informed the Committee Members that his constituent, Harry Frisch, owner of
Beaver Street Fisheries, had announced that in an effort to keep the Water Taxi
service operating, he offered to personally purchase two water taxis and lease
them to the City until the City’s RFP for water taxis service is
completed. Mr. Frisch has no interest in
the taxis service business per se. His
sole interest is in keeping water taxis service in Jacksonville operating. Council Member Schellenberg has offered his
office’s assistance in facilitating Mr. Frisch’s proposed undertaking.
There being no further business, the
meeting was adjourned at 3:17 P.M.
