(Carr, Riggs & Ingram) on the City’s Annual Financial Report for the fiscal
year ended 9/30/16.
NOTE:
The next regular meeting will be held Wednesday, September 6, 2017 (due
to Labor Day holiday)
Robert
Lemon and Yvonne Clayborne of Carr, Riggs and Ingram, the City’s independent
auditor, presented the findings of the audit for the fiscal year ending
September 30, 2016. Mr. Lemon said that the audit found no major issues or
deficiencies and the company gives an unmodified opinion – the highest grade.
The single audit on federal and state grants found no instances of
non-compliance with grant regulations and requirements. Ms. Clayborne gave a
review of the required audit communications, which again found no major issues
and gave a clean report. She did note that data from some of the reporting
units came in somewhat late this year due to issues with the Florida State
Retirement System and a disagreement among actuaries that caused the FRS
contributions to be determined later than normal and impacted reporting to the
City. Mr. Lemon stated that the audit process went very well this year, and
that some small additions were made to the contract during the year to cover
additional required work products. The company made 3 verbal suggestions (not
audit findings) for procedural improvements regarding collecting grant
information from multiple sources and collecting pollution remediation project
information onto a unified web site. Council Member R. Brown posed questions
about the threshold for determining materiality and determining risk levels for
audit sampling. In response to a question from Council Member Becton, Ms. Clayborne
said that when the City transitions from its current FAMIS accounting system to
a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, the independent auditor will
be looking very closely at the billing and cash management systems to ensure
that the change-over takes place successfully. Mr. Lemon said that Carr Riggs’
computer experts can comment on the strengths and weaknesses of ERP systems they’ve
seen at the City’s request.

Summary Fact
Sheet NCSPHS: App Tom Fallin of the Public Works
Department explained the need for the addition of funds of previously
undetected structural repairs. Council Member R. Brown requested a report
from Public Works on the scope of all public buildings repair needs and
costs. Public Works Director John Pappas explained that buildings with
structural integrity issues typically move to the top of the priority list,
which is why the Fire Museum project is being done now. In response to
another question about the potential need to move the Fire Museum when the
Shipyards/Metropolitan Park redevelopment takes place, Mr. Pappas indicated
that the structural repairs covered by this appropriation will make the
building better able to withstand relocation if should become necessary in
the future. Guy Parola of the Downtown Investment Authority said that no firm
plans have been approved for the property as of yet that would indicate
whether the museum will have to be moved. APPROVE

Mike Williams explained the source of revenue for the trust fund and the
allowable uses of the fund. In response to a question from Council Member K.
Brown about the JSO’s priorities for use of these funds, the Sheriff
indicated that crime prevention and intervention are the top priority, plus
some specific operational enhancements. Council Member R. Brown advocated for
more funding for the Police Athletic League. In response to another question
about using these funds to install surveillance cameras in parks and other
public places, the Sheriff recommended moving away from purchasing cameras to
contracting for camera services (including maintenance). Council Member
R. Brown asked for research on whether
the trust fund can be used to fund school crossing guards. AMEND/APPROVE

Establishing
an annual fee of $4.37 per linear foot ($36,341 for the first year that
escalates 3% over a 20 year term) for 1.575 miles of underground pipeline for
internal processing and storage purposes. -
Sections
711.306(a), 711.307 and 711.319 are waived to allow for a 20 year term, max
is normally 10 years -
Section
711.321 is waived to calculate fee on a linear foot basis rather than 5% of
gross sales of the gas system within the municipal limits of the City. On behalf of Council Member Boyer
(excused from the meeting), Council Member Schellenberg offered an amendment
to add Whereas clauses regarding the uniqueness of this project in order that
the approval of the bill not be considered to set a precedent for commercial
use of City rights-of-way. Attorney Jason Teal of the General Counsel’s
Office explained the applicant’s unsuccessful attempts to acquire private
property to accommodate the location of the pipeline and described the
difference between a franchise agreement and a right-of-way use agreement.
David Boone of Buckeye Terminals said that the per linear foot fee was based
on the company’s rate paid to New York City, the most expensive fee it pays
anywhere in the country. Mr. Teal noted that the fee will increase by 3% per
year over the 20-year term of the agreement. Council Member K. Brown
encouraged the company to utilize small and minority businesses on the
project to the extent possible. AMEND/APPROVE

Public Comment
Catherine Pierce with
People Demanding Action advocated for funding for restoration of a homeless day
resource center to address the social service needs faced by the homeless.
Luis Zaldivar with
People Demanding Action advocated for funding for restoration of a homeless day
resource center.
John Hatle with
People Demanding Action advocated for funding for restoration of a homeless day
resource center. He said that the City’s “housing first” model is laudable, but
should not be the exclusive approach to homelessness issues. He understands
that ICARE (Interfaith Coalition for Action, Reconciliation and Empowerment)
and the Clara White Mission are working on a proposed site and service model
for a day resource center.
Paul Martinez
representing the Boys and Girls Club of Northeast Florida read into the record
a letter from the Club regarding additional funding for after-school programs,
seeking to restore the sites that the proposed budget leaves unfunded.
Scott Wiley of the
Beaches Boys and Girls Club advocated for increased funding to restore
after-school sites that are closed this academic year.
Council Member R.
Brown said that by rough calculation, if the City allocated enough funding to
serve the 56-57% of the 130,000 students in Duval Public Schools who qualify
for free and reduced cost lunch because of their family income, it would need
to fund approximately 70,000 after-school slots. The City typically funded on
5,000 to 6,000 per year before this year’s reduction, so is barely scratching
the surface of the full needs of the community. He advocated for providing
funding for services where the need is greatest, not where the most successful
program provider agencies happen to be located. Chairman Dennis said that he
intended to bring the needs back before the Council at the next meeting.
