Bill Summary

 

DEFER

 

Council Member Jim Love, the resolution’s sponsor, explained the amendment and what the resolution entailed.  He noted that while there had been workshops to explain the changes to surface water standards in other locales of the state, there had been no opportunities for Jacksonville to have any input.  He also explained that there ought to have been a review of the methods that were employed by the DEP to arrive at the increase in the levels of carcinogens that were approved.

 

Council Member Anna Lopez Brosche indicated that she was concerned with the wording in the resolution’s whereas clauses; rather than being “opposed” and in “opposition””, she preferred the wording in the Environmental Protection Board’s letter of support that expressed their “concerns.”  She explained that she had opposed this resolution when it came before the Jacksonville Waterways Commission and cannot support it now.  She had not had an opportunity to review the whereas clauses in the new amendment that Assistant General Counsel Paige Johnston was crafting. 

 

Council Member Greg Anderson indicated that he had problems with the resolution and recommended that the item be deferred.
