Council Auditor Kyle Billy made a
report on the 5 audits/reports issued by his office since the last committee
meeting.
#794 – Quarterly Budget Summary for the
6 Months Ending March 31, 2017: the trends to date project a positive budget
variance of $7.7 million by year-end, with a $2.8 million positive revenue
variance and a $4.9 million positive expense variance. One noteworthy item is
the projected $3.45 million negative (excess) variance in the Fire and Rescue
Department’s budget, largely attributable to overtime payments. Council Member
Schellenberg asked for information on the department’s DROP retirements and
resignations compared to recent hiring numbers. Council Member Gulliford asked
for additional information on other factors contributing to the JFRD negative
variance, including possibly additional costs for Narcan (antidote used to
treat opioid overdoses) and unreimbursed EMS transports. Mr. Billy noted that
Hurricane Matthew expenses are projected to be $51 million, of which $26.1
million has been actually expended to date. The City hopes to get insurance and
FEMA reimbursements for much of the expenses, with the local share projected at
$6-7 million.
#740A – Information Technologies
Division Billing Audit Follow-Up: all recommendations have been implemented
except one, which is in process.
#749A – JTA Accounts Payable Audit
Follow-Up: all recommendations have been implemented except one, which is in
process (pooled cash rather than multiple separate bank accounts).
#795 – Police and Fire Pension Fund
Bank Accounts Audit: payments made were properly supported, accurate and
timely, but improvements could be made in accuracy and timeliness of receiving
and depositing cash. The report recommends abandoning the out-of-date financial
package used to track payables and receivables and utilizing the City’s
Accounting Division and Tax Collector’s Office to perform those functions.
#796 – Visit Jacksonville Audit: the
audit found that the organization had adequate procedures in place to safeguard
the issuance of hard checks, but needed better procedures for the use of ECH
electronic transactions. There was a lack of segregation of duties in the
financial area (one employee processing invoices, making payments and
reconciling bank statements) and the organization was not complying with City
travel regulations as required by its contract. There were also insufficiencies
in the supporting documentation of payments to employees for items such as
bonus pay and cellphone allowances. Visit Jacksonville has agreed to make the
changes recommended.
General Counsel Jason Gabriel gave an
update on the progress of negotiations over settlement of the Loblolly Wetlands
Mitigation Bank dispute with the private operator of the bank. Several
productive mediation sessions have been held and he believes the parties are
getting close to resolution; the discussion now centers around arriving at
agreement on the details of financial and credit amounts. He said it should
become clear in the next few weeks if the parties can reach a settlement
agreement or will reach an impasse and proceed to court.

BILL SUMMARY Council Member Becton explained his rationale for offering
the bill, emphasizing the need for generational equity (the current Council
and taxpayers should not pass on a huge pension obligation to future
generations of taxpayers) and the uncertainty of future financial conditions
that may impair the City’s ability to make the increased payments necessary
several decades in the future. Council Member Gulliford cautioned that the
additional $25,000 homestead exemption recently authorized by the Florida
Legislature for a referendum vote in 2018 will put another sizeable hole in
the City’s finances if adopted as expected and recommended withholding action
for several years to see what the effect of that revenue loss will be. He
suggested allocating a portion of whatever year-end budget balances may be
available toward pension amortization on a year-by-year basis in the budget
process. Council Member Schellenberg felt that the City has long under-funded
its capital and maintenance needs and reiterated the uncertain impact of the
potential homestead exemption expansion. Council Member Bowman cited a list
of upcoming financial needs including the local share of the cost of dredging
the St. Johns River, the revitalization of the Jacksonville Landing, the
Shipyards redevelopment, and a backlog of deferred infrastructure needs.
Council Member Katrina Brown noted that there is list of unfinished Better
Jacksonville Plan projects that were promised to the voters who approved that
sales tax, and the City needs additional police officers and firefighters.
She agreed with the concept of using a portion of year-end fund balances. APPROVE (failed)

BILL SUMMARY TEU: Defer Council President Boyer explained her understanding of
this complicated issue and why the City is involved in what might at first
appear to be a dispute between two private parties. She said there appears to
be some confusion over the difference between the legal easement and the
requested waiver of the zoning requirement for road frontage to access the
lot in question. The City is involved because of the requested road frontage
waiver, not because of the status of the easement dispute between the private
parties, which will likely continue regardless of whether or how the City
Council decides on the waiver request. The mediator in the state-authorized
alternative dispute resolution procedure found flaws in the LUZ Committee’s
action based on a misunderstanding or misrepresentation of certain facts.
Council can choose to side with the mediator’s or with the LUZ Committee’s
interpretation in potential future legal action, and she suggested that it
would probably reduce the City’s legal liability if the Council adopted the
mediator’s ruling as its factual basis. Paul Harden, representing the Dixon
family whose property surrounds the landlocked parcel in question, disagreed
with the mediator’s interpretation of his role in the mediation process and
suggested that the easement language is very clear and that the courts would
be the proper venue to determine its legal enforceability. Mr. Harden also
disagreed the Office of General Counsel’s characterization of this issue in
the TEU Committee earlier in the week and said that he is in the process of
meeting with council members individually to explain his client’s interests. DEFER |
