Brooks of the Office of General Counsel (OGC) gave a brief update on the latest
status of the Loblolly Wetland Mitigation Bank. The OGC has met with the
attorney for the company managing the mitigation bank under contract with the
City regarding the findings of the Council Auditor’s Office’s audit of the
transactions in the mitigation bank, but no agreement has yet been reached on
reconciling the differences of opinion on how certain transactions and payments
should properly be categorized. The OGC is preparing to issue a demand letter
requiring a response from the management company.

Bill Summary NCIS: Am/Apv R: Apv Council Member Gulliford moved an amendment to add a
provision for a referendum to the bill that would add a Charter provision for
sexual orientation and gender identity as new protected classes, subject to
approval by voter referendum. If the referendum were approved by the voters,
the corresponding Ordinance Code changes would then take effect. In response
to a question from the committee about whether the addition of a referendum
requirement and Charter amendment would constitute a “substantial” change to
the bill that would require re-referral of the bill to committees and re-advertisement
for another public hearing, Deputy General Counsel Peggy Sidman stated that
General Counsel Jason Gabriel, when asked that question at an earlier
committee meeting, had stated that in his opinion it could be argued
defensibly that such a change did not constitute a “substantial” change, but
that the ultimate decision on the substantiality of the change is a policy
decision for the Council to make. Ms. Sidman explained the relationship
between the proposed Code and Charter changes and the effect of making the
changes contingent upon passage of a voter referendum. In response to a
question from Council Member Crescimbeni, Mr. Gabriel explained the 9-factor
test used by a federal court to determine whether an entity qualified as a
“religious organization”. The Gulliford amendment failed by a vote of 2-5 A motion to adopt the NCIS Committee amendment to increase
the threshold defining a “small business” from 15 to 50 employees failed by a
vote of 3-4 Council President Boyer explained an amendment by Council
Member Crescimbeni proposed in but not adopted by the Rules Committee to
revise and clarify the definition of “religious organization”. Mr. Gabriel
stated that the amendment is intended to provide that the City ordinance
shall be interpreted in the context of federal law and court precedents, and
he does not believe that anything in the City ordinance would have any
bearing on organizations with regard to their federal tax status, ability to
apply for federal grants, or the like. Council Member Bowman moved the amendment described by
President Boyer to amend the definition of “religious organization” by
striking the words “such as” and inserting instead “including but not limited
to”, so as to include non-church but religiously motivated organizations such
as the Salvation Army in the definition of organizations exempt from the
provisions regarding sexual orientation and gender identity – the amendment
was approved by a vote of 7-0. Council Member Crescimbeni requested the General Counsel
to provide information about whether organizations that claim the
organization satisfies the definition of a “religious organization” for
federal non-taxability purposes are eligible to receive federal funding, and
about whether entities such as Edward Waters College (founded by and affiliated
with the AME Church), the Salvation Army, and the City Rescue Mission
(religiously motivated but not church-affiliated) would pass the 9-factor
test and be considered “religious organizations.” Charlene Hill, Executive Director of the Jacksonville
Human Rights Commission (JHRC), answered questions about how discrimination
complaints are filed, processed and resolved in Jacksonville. In response to
a question from Council Member Newby she reported that the JHRC had received
11 complaints in the last 4 years alleging discrimination on the basis of
sexual orientation or gender identity. In response to a question, Council
Member Bowman, who works in business recruitment for the JAXUSA Partnership,
stated that companies that explore but ultimately choose not to relocate to
Jacksonville typically don’t say specifically why they chose not to come
here. He said that the importance of a human rights ordinance including
sexual orientation and gender identity protections varies widely depending
upon the type of industry involved – for some it is a very important factor,
for others it is not. AMEND/APPROVE

which is to ensure that the City makes adequate affirmative action efforts to

demographics, and described what types of reports and actions the bill would
require. Several committee members expressed support for and opposition to
