DEFER

 

Council Member Bill Gulliford, the measure’s sponsor, advised the Committee that he had recently met with skateboarding people and is scheduled to have another meeting.  He is impressed with what other cities have done with skateboard parks and imagines that Jacksonville could possible construct one downtown.  Mr. Gulliford announced that through some research work of Jordan Elsbury,  capital funds

that had been set aside by former Council Member Warren Jones for a downtown skateboarding park had been found.  He further announced that Assistant General Counsel Paige Johnston has been working on some changes in the proposed ordinance.

Bill Summary

 

APPROVE 7-0

 

Council Member Aaron Bowman, the resolution’s sponsor, explained what the resolution entailed.  He described what the Triton was and what the economic impact can be on Jacksonville’s economy if the program was located at Mayport N.A.S.  It would bring upwards of 400 jobs and Navy families.  There would be no costs to the City.

 

Council Member Tommy Hazouri thought that our Congressional delegation and others should be enlisted to lobby the Navy.
