the Council conditionally supports Bill J-1 only if revised to provide that
the requirement for crossing guards at schools attended by students in grades
K-8 is limited to public schools, and if a determination of necessity for a

that the Florida Statutes also allow for Interlocal Agreements to be entered
into to “address and correct hazardous walking conditions.” Based on those
facts, the Council finds that the subject matter of Local Bill J-1 can be
addressed by the Jacksonville City Council, Duval County School Board and
Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office and other entities through Interlocal
Agreements, and therefore no State action is necessary. |
