Chairwoman Brosche called on Public
Works Director John Pappas to present the annual Stormwater
Utility fee adjustments, credits and exemptions report. Mr. Pappas briefly
described the history of the stormwater fee and the
basis on which the fee is levied on residential and commercial properties with
differing percentages of impervious surface, and explained the adjustments,
exemptions, credits and early payment discounts available to various categories
of property owners. He presented a document tabulating the adjustments,
exemptions and credits for the 7 years that the fee has been in effect. The value
of those exemptions, credits and discounts varies annually, but has gradually
grown from $891,167 in FY2010 to $986,615 in FY16. Council Member Schellenberg
questioned how low income persons are made aware that that might qualify for
the low-income exemption, and Council Member Katrina Brown suggested sending an
annual post card to potentially eligible property owners as a reminder, much
the same way the Property Appraiser sends annual postcards to the owners of
homesteaded properties reminding them to report any change in their eligibility
status. Johnnetta Moore, Chief of the Social Services Division, said that
persons who might qualify for the exemption due to low income are encouraged to
call the Social Services Division office or the City’s 630-CITY call center to
be evaluated for eligibility or to access additional information on the City’s
web site.

Summary Steve Diebenow
representing the developer of the Costco store developer distributed a
package of information and explained the changes he will be requesting via
amendment at the next committee meeting. This project has been under negotiation
among the developer, the City, the FDOT and the JTA for some time with two
aims in mind: how to achieve closure of the existing Parramore
Road and protection of the City’s
interests while the new road is under construction, and how to relocate an
existing drainage easement to a new location via a complex multi-party
agreement. DEFER |

Summary Fact Sheet R: Amend/Approve City Comptroller Kevin Stork and
Finance Director Mike Weinstein explained the operational shortcomings that
lead to items being placed on the “lost or presumed stolen” list and how the
administration is attempting to deal with the problems. The new ERP
(enterprise resource planning) system that will eventually replace the City’s
financial management, human resources, procurement, and other centralized
computer functions will have an inventory control module to improve this
function. Mr. Weinstein said that RFID (radio frequency identification) tags
on all inventoried assets are the ultimate answer to keeping track of
everything most efficiently. Tony Davis, Director of Police Services for the
Sheriff’s Office, said that the JSO is taking steps to improve its supply
chain management and track deliveries and inventory more centrally even if
the products are destined for delivery through multiple remote locations. AMEND(F)/APPROVE

Summary NCIS: Approve PHS: Approved Damian Cook and John Snyder of the
City grants office explained that the Public Service Grants Committee chose
to keep the same priority populations as last year because the major changes
in the PSG process last year and the new grant submission deadline did not
leave sufficient time for the committee to do a thorough job of evaluating
needs and developing new priority areas. That process will happen in advance
of next year’s cycle. Mr. Cook noted that the committee is considering
recommending that priority populations should be adopted for multiple years
rather than changing annually so as to achieve some continuity in efforts to
attack problem areas. APPROVE

Emergency/Approve Tom Fallin,
Chief of Engineering Construction Management for the Public Works Department,
explained the nature of the emergency, which is that the dune renourishment contractor is returning to complete the
work a month earlier than anticipated, so these agreements need to be
approved and executed as soon as possible so as not to delay the resumption
of the work. He explained that the extra funding needed for the project
expansion due to the effects of Hurricane Matthew will come from Public
Works’ available fund balance, with the hope that the City will eventually be
reimbursed by FEMA for some of the cost. EMERGENCY/APPROVE

Fact Sheet
APPROVE 6-0
At the conclusion of the meeting, in response
to a question from Council Member Schellenberg, Council Auditor Kyle Billy said
that his office would be prepared to opine at the meeting later in the
afternoon about the Mayor’s pension reform proposal legislation. The Auditor’s
Office will propose several amendments as a result of its review of the
numerous ordinances and the administration’s responses to the Auditor’s
Office’s 5-page list of questions about the proposal. The amendments will fall
into three categories: 1) non-substantive scrivener’s errors (spelling,
punctuation, etc.); 2) Auditor’s proposed amendments for the purpose of clarity
(again, nothing substantive but an attempt to achieve the maximum clarity of
defined terms, language intent, explanations of methodology, etc.); and 3) two
substantive recommendations.
The Chairwoman
announced that there would not be a Special Committee Meeting following the
regular meeting.

FY
2016 Missing and Stolen Report
- We
reviewed a copy of the police report for every item listed on exhibit 1 of
2017-155.
- We
either had a face to face meeting or phone discussion with the property
officer responsible for each department, division, or office listed on the
report.
- Through
our review of the police reports and discussions, we noted that only three
of the items listed on the report were documented as stolen.
- Other
reasons for missing items included:
- Transfer
paperwork was not completed but the item was sent to the City surplus
facility
- ITD
replaced the item but transfer paperwork was not completed for the old
item
- The
City asset ID tag is no longer on the item therefore the property officer
was unable to positively identify the item
- The
department/division relocated or was downsized and the item could not be
found
- After
completing our review we spoke with City Comptroller Kevin Stork. Mr.
Stork stated that the Accounting Division will conduct a training class
for property officers in the near future.
- As a
result of our review, missing item #114158 – Industrial Scale in the Solid
Waste Division was located and will not be removed from inventory as a
part of this ordinance.
Details of Amendment
- Remove
the located Industrial Scale from the items list
- Correct
two JSO police report numbers
