Bill Summary DEFER (At
recommendation of the committee) There was a lengthy discussion of this item before the
Chair deferred it, at the suggestion of Council Member Greg Anderson. Barry Dixon explained his reasons for opposing the
settlement agreement. Charles Dixon III clarified his family’s opposition to the
settlement agreement that he had explained at the previous TEU Committee
meeting. Attorney Reece Henderson, whose firm Gray Robinson
represents Fannie Mae, contended that his client met all of the requirements
for the waiver that the City had denied.
He also explained that the Dixons did not want to attend the mediation
meeting but did participate in the proceedings of the Special Magistrate. Attorney Paul Harden, representing the Dixon family, requested
that the Committee vote to oppose the settlement agreement. He further contended that the title company
owns the parcel in question. The
City’s position is that according to public records, Fannie Mae is the owner
of the property. Assistant General Counsel Paige Johnston explained why the
Office of General Counsel recommends approval of the settlement agreement. After getting a sense from the other members on the panel,
the Chair deferred the item. |

In Public Comments, Mr. Anthony Holmes
explained a concern that he had previously raised with the City regarding CSX
train tracks in his Westside neighborhood.
Mr. Holmes contends that the CSX railroad tracks on Buckman Street are
in such poor shape that a derailment is likely at some point. He further explained that a derailment would
be disastrous to the homes in the area because the tanker cars carry hazardous
materials and would result in a life-threatening chemical spill.
Mr. Holmes also explained a concern
about a waterline problem in Wigmar Park.
The Chair assured Mr. Holmes that he
would contract CSX to see if they are aware of the problem that he has
referenced. The Chair suggested that Mr.
Holmes could meet with JEA staff that are in attendance at the meeting to
discuss the waterline problem.
Mr. Michael Jasper explained his
complaint with the Public Works Department for the department’s dumping dirt
from an easement on his property when the department periodically comes to
clean the easement. The department’s process of cleaning the easement is
wreaking havoc to his trying to eke out a living from his gardening and chicken
coops. Council Member Reggie Brown
explained that he and representatives of the Public Works Department have
repeatedly met with Mr. Jasper in efforts to resolve the problems. Mr. Brown explained that resolution of the
problem is hampered by Mr. Jasper’s refusal to allow the Public Works
Department access to his property. The
Council Member said that the City would continue to work with Mr. Jasper.
There being no further business, the
meeting was adjourned at 3:27 P.M.
