SUMMARY FACT SHEET The committee engaged in considerable discussion of this
issue with Public Works Director Jim Robinson, Environmental Quality Division
Chief Melissa Long and Bud Para, JEA’s Chief of Public Affairs. Questions
were posed and answered about the City’s and JEA’s water quality mandates
under the Clean Water Act and Florida DEP regulations. Mr. Robinson explained
the difference between JEA’s point source-related mandates and the City’s
non-point source mandates. It has been determined that the purchase of water
quality credits from another agency is the City’s most practical and
economical method of meeting its nutrient reduction requirements by this
summer’s deadline. He stated that the City has developed plans (as part of
its long-range stormwater master planning process) to reduce nutrients by
means of septic tank phase-outs and stormwater improvements, but the costs
are very high for the small amounts of credits achievable through those
means, making the costs per ton of nutrients removed very expensive. Mr. Para
explained the rationale behind the JEA’s corporate position that it is not
the responsibility of JEA’s current customers to pay the costs of extending
the sewer system to properties served by septic tanks, considering that those
sewer customers paid the unsubsidized costs of their sewer connections when
their homes were constructed. The committee discussed JEA’s status as a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the City and some members questioned why the City
should pay JEA for credits when the City and JEA are fundamentally the same
entity owned by the City’s taxpayers. |

involved in this proposal, including the amount of revenue that would be
foregone by the City of Jacksonville if the property is annexed into Atlantic
Beach and the potential amount of service cost reductions associated with no
longer providing most municipal services to this area. A motion by Council
Member Boyer to amend the interlocal service agreement to provide that
Atlantic Beach would reimburse Jacksonville annually for the actual cost of
contract fire and rescue service rather than using the current formula of an
automatic 3% annual increase on a cost originally set a number of years ago
failed by a vote of 3-6. A motion to defer the bill was approved by a vote of

APPROVE 6-0
At the conclusion of the agenda Council Member Schellenberg
asked Jeff Zeichner, Audit Manager for McGladrey, the City’s external auditor,
to address the committee on the progress of the City’s independent audit which
was due to be completed by March 31st as required by the City
Charter. Mr. Zeichner explained the role of the independent auditor in
reviewing and opining on the compliance of financial reports prepared by the
Finance Department with applicable governmental accounting standards and state
and federal requirements. He noted that several required elements of the
financial reports have not yet been received, including financial data from the
JTA, information on environmental liability concerns, and City pension
actuarial data that needed to be refined in response to a new GASB rule that
was just announced in December 2014 after the end of the fiscal year being
audited. Council Auditor Kirk Sherman explained that the Auditor’s Office is
contributing additional manpower to the pension task to help keep the cost of
the audit down. The committee questioned Chief Financial Officer Ronnie Belton
about the delays in completing the financial reports. Mr. Belton emphasized
that the true deadline for completion of the financial reports and independent
audit is the June 30th deadline for submitting the documents to the
state Division of Financial Services, notwithstanding the City Charter’s March
31st deadline. He emphasized the importance of getting the financial
reports right versus meeting a self-imposed deadline. Mr. Sherman noted that
the Finance Department has had a long-standing problem with keeping its most
talented employees, who are frequently hired away by other departments and
independent agencies at higher salaries. Council Member Crescimbeni requested
from Mr. Zeichner a detailed list of the outstanding items that are preventing
completion of the audit. Council Member Daniels cautioned that the recent media
attention to the delayed completion of the financial reports may be politically
motivated given the on-going mayoral contest.
