At the request of Council
Member Jim Love, Public Works Department Director, Jim Robinson, provided the
Committee with an update on the status of the LED streetlight conversion
project that the City is undertaking with JEA.
Mr. Robinson indicated that the project all started with Ordinance
2013-107-E that proposed a feasibility study of the proposed project. In his PowerPoint presentation, Mr. Robinson
reported on how the Public Works Department has been working with JEA in
efforts for the conversion of a portion of the
approximately 110,000 streetlights in Jacksonville. By use of technology, the project would
conserve energy and reduce the current City budget for streetlights---$9.3
million. Mr. Robinson proceeded to
explain what the technology entailed for conversion, the pros and cons of LED
streetlight conversion and the projected magnitude of financial savings for the
City in the future. The Committee
Members had a number of questions that Mr. Robinson fielded.

Summary DEFER There was considerable discussion on the proposed
legislation. Steve Smith, Planning & Development Department,
explained the revised report on the proposed legislation that the Planning
Department prepared and e-mailed to Council Members, a report that focused on
concerns that the Planning Department had regarding the proposed changes in
Chapter 655 of the Ordinance Code
(Concurrency & Mobility Mgmt System).
Calvin Burney, Director, Planning and Development, and Assistant
General Counsel Jason Gabriel joined Mr. Smith in explaining components of
the Planning Department’s revised report and fielding numerous questions from
the Committee. Council Member Lori Boyer had a number of questions that
she asked Mssrs. Burney, Smith and Gabriel to answer and clarify. Mr. Burney felt that with amendments to address some of
the concerns raised by the Planning Department, his Department thinks that the
proposed changes in Chapter 655 could work. The Committee heard representatives from the bicycle
community and organizations on bicycle and pedestrian safety issues that were
at stake. Other speakers included representatives of developers. The Chair announced that in view of the fact that the
Committee had just received the revised report of the Planning &
Development Department, the item would be deferred
for two cycles. |
