Department of Health- Updates

Alison Hewitt, Department of Health, provided an update on Zika - there have been 187 new cases in 2017. Ms. Hewitt distributed information about equine encephalitis, for which there has been one confirmed case in Duval County.

Fire Rescue Department

JFRD Chief Wilson presented an update for the Fire and Rescue Department. This year’s call volume is projected to show a 10 percent increase, which is a larger increase than usual. This steady increase in call volume began around 2012 and can for the most part be attributed to the rise in opioid overdoses. Chief Wilson also mentioned that two new fire stations are in the development stages and that 42 new positions will be filled this year.

There was a lengthy discussion about the composition of the KHA Board and residency requirements (should they all be required to live in Duval County). In the public comment portion, several members from local nonprofits spoke to advocate for the bill but also emphasize the importance of the presence of experts (with children’s services experience) on the board and realistic performance metrics considering the complexity of the work.

CM Dennis offered an amendment which designated the board members to reside in each of the school district areas (not approved).

CM Bowman offered an amendment to add career counseling to the services provided (approved).

CM Hazouri offered an amendment to require three permanent liaison positions for the Sheriff, State Attorney and School Superintendent, who must attend board meetings. CM R. Brown proposed adding the Public Defender as well.

Before adjournment, Council President Brosche listed numerous specific questions she would like answered by the Administration before this bill moves on. Ally Korman Shelton, Mayor’s Office, said the questions would be answered and shared with the full committee.

Bill Summary

Defer

After a robust discussion regarding the current JSO crossing guard provisions, the committee decided to defer this bill until some of the details can be clarified. When the existing Florida law was enacted elementary schools included the 6^th grade, but now it is more common to have elementary grades K-5 and middle school grades 6-8. The main concerns about this bill were the overall costs and how this bill would or should apply to charter and private schools.

Pat Ivey, JSO Undersheriff, said that an estimate had been conducted for the 27 Duval County (public) middle schools and it would be approximately $300,000 per year to provide crossing guards for these students. The date for public hearings on this bill with the Duval Delegation has been scheduled for October 20^th.
