Meeting Convened: 8:30 a.m.

 

Chairman Gulliford called the meeting to order and reviewed the Auditor’s marked agenda which included 14 items marked for deferral, 13 items ready for action (7 requested as emergencies) and 10 items for second reading and re-referral.

 

2015-442 and -443 (reappointing Jim Bailey and Oliver Barakat to the DIA Board): Peggy Sidman stated that these bills were incorrectly marked on the agenda as requested emergencies; the bills should be recommended for second reading and re-referral. Council Member Schellenberg expressed concern that the DIA board, including the members who are currently pending for reappointment, recently entered into an employment contract with DIA CEO Aundra Wallace. He requested a discussion with a DIA board representative about this contract decision.

 

2015-445 (authorizing a service and license agreement with the Justice Coalition to operate the Jacksonville Victim’s Services Center): Chairman Gulliford announced that the bill would not be moved as an emergency but moved for second reading and re-referral in order to allow the Curry administration to opine on the bill. Council Member Boyer and Assistant Council Auditor Kyle Billy have questions about the proposed contract and need a full discussion before action.
