Summary TEU: Approve Council Member Crescimbeni
distributed information about previous voter referenda and the recent straw
ballot question about citizen approval of the terms and conditions of a sale
of more than 10% of the assets of the JEA, and distributed a General Counsel’s
opinion regarding the procedure for a sale of substantial JEA assets. Council
Member Gulliford proposed an amendment regarding the timing of a voter
referendum (within 6 months of a sale agreement being struck between the
seller and buyer). He anticipates that City Council would withhold a vote on
approving a sale until within 6 months of an election at which the referendum
could be held. Motion
(Gulliford): amend the bill to require that the referendum be held within 6
months of the City Council approving the terms and conditions of a sale Council Member Crescimbeni said that
City Council already has the power to call for a referendum special election
at any time, so the amendment is not needed. Council Member Boyer said that a
City referendum requirement does not belong in the JEA Charter and suggested
the need for better clarity of the language regarding timing of the
referendum. Council Member Gulliford said that putting the referendum
requirement in the Charter rather than the Ordinance Code prevents a future
council from waiving the requirement. Council Member Gulliford agreed to withdraw his motion and take up the
issue in separate legislation. In response to a question from
Chairman Anderson about the definition of “assets” and how various
interpretations could impact JEA’s normal operations, Jordan Pope of the JEA
said that the authority believes that some clarification of the definition in
the charter is needed in future legislation to draw a distinction between
operational and capital assets. APPROVE

Summary Fact Sheet NCSPHS: Amend/Approve Council Member Boyer discussed the
insufficiency in the current waiver disclosure language that requires a
notation in the bill title and requires a waiver paragraph in the text of the
bill explaining what is being waived. Motion
(Boyer): insert concrete waiver language in the bill conforming to the Code
requirement – approved 7-0. Stephanie Burch, Director of the
Neighborhoods Department, explained the intent of the bill and the use of the
funds for “soft costs” such as payment of back taxes, lien removal, quieting
titles, etc. that typically cannot be paid by the City to make the properties
readily usable for affordable housing development. Council Member Gulliford
expressed concern about the “first come, first served” nature of the funding
availability. He suggested the need for a permanent program to provide
funding for the same purposes as the recently-expired lien penalty and
interest amnesty program. AMEND/APPROVE
7-0 1. On page 2, line 10 strike “but are
not limited to” 2. Attach Revised Exhibit 2 (Program
Matrix) to: - Clarify that if a structure is
demolished the applicant is required to build affordable housing on the
property - Use the term “homestead property”
to be consistent with the bill - Clarify that “newly acquired
properties” means within the last 6 months prior to application submittal - Include that prior to final
disbursements a true accounting of all costs and expenses will be completed - Include that the City could
foreclose on the mortgage if the property is not renovated or developed
within 18 months - Include documentation that is
required to determine financial capacity 3.

Summary Fact Sheet NCSPHS: Approve CAO Sam Mousa said that the bill is
intended to help the Jacksonville Icemen achieve the return on investment
that they expected when bringing the team to Jacksonville. The City’s return
on investment on arena operations has been above projections, the Icemen’s
ROI has been below projection. The surcharge reduction would reduce the
Sports Complex capital maintenance fund revenue by $124,200, which will not
impact the fund’s activities significantly. Council Member Crescimbeni
speculated that other Arena tenants will soon be coming to ask for reductions
as well. Council Member Boyer asked Mr. Mousa to look for other sources of
funding to make the capital improvements that these de-appropriated funds
would have paid for. APPROVE

1. 11/13/2018 CO Introduced: NCSPHS,F Bill
Summary NCSPHS: 2nd 2nd
and rerefer Council Member Gulliford asked
Council Member Crescimbeni about the rationale in 2018-142 for the 10% of
assets threshold to trigger a voter referendum on sale of JEA assets. Mr.
Crescimbeni said that his original preference was to introduce legislation to
hold a referendum to make any JEA sale transaction be subject to voter
referendum approval, but a General Counsel’s opinion said that voters cannot
grant themselves the right to hold referenda by means of a referendum.
Failing that, he fell back to the existing Charter requirement that requires
City Council approval of a sale of more than 10% of JEA assets and added his
referendum requirement to that. He said that the OGC opinion says that a
lease of the assets is equivalent to a sale for purposes of requiring City
Council approval. Chairman Anderson discussed the City
Council’s former practice of developing annual budget priorities and sharing
those with the mayor prior to the budget development process, a process that
existed in the early 2000s but was repealed in 2007. Council President Bowman
re-started this process this year with a City Council strategic planning
process for 1, 3 and 5 year priorities and a plan to make recommendations to
the Mayor for Council preferences for spending up to $5 million of
discretionary funds. The Jacksonville Civic Council has offered to lend
assistance in determining priorities if the City Council wishes. This process
will need to happen quickly if the Finance Committee is to make
recommendations to the full Council for adoption in February for transmittal
to the Mayor’s Office in time to inform the budget development process. Mr. Anderson distributed a handout
consisting of the Council’s and Mayor’s adopted budget priorities from the
early 2000s and a summary of Mayor Curry’s FY18-19 budget message outlining
his priorities. He has a large number of documents and resources that he can
make available to the committee depending on how the group wants to proceed. Council Member Boyer suggested that “homelessness”
is a very specific topic that needs to be incorporated into a broader heading
(affordable housing?). She noted that in previous years the priority list
included a category for natural resources, which could have several meanings.
Council Member Gaffney said that prioritization will be important and
recommended putting most resources into the top 2 or 3 issues rather than
spreading funding too thinly over many issues. Council Member Morgan noted
that the priorities identified this year are largely the same as those
identified 15 years ago – crime and safety, litter control, beautification,
park maintenance, etc. Nothing seems to have changed. Council Member
Crescimbeni said that the Rules Committee and Finance Committee should work
jointly on developing very specific priorities rather than general
statements. Priorities need to be achievable in the short term and measurable
so that success or progress can be readily determined. Chairman Anderson hoped that the
Finance Committee would agree to hold several special meetings to discuss
budget priorities with participation by many interested council members. He
has asked the Council Auditor’s Office to begin compiling spending
information on several perennial topics (litter control, mowing, crime
prevention). Council Member Newby suggested the importance of capital
improvements in older neighborhoods in addition to purely operational issues.
Council Member Love agreed that funding for signature projects (i.e. the
Emerald Necklace, Shipyards, The Landing) is important and believes they have
countywide impact. Council Member Wilson advocated for attacking the
homelessness issue, both the voluntary and the involuntary homeless, and
improving commercial corridors. Council Member Boyer said that the fact that
the same issues keep cropping up year after year can be a good thing from the
perspective that it shows continuing prioritization of a few issues of
importance to the community. She advocated for separating operating budget
enhancements from capital project discussions – those have to be funded
differently and should be discussed separately. Council Member Gaffney said
that choosing too many priorities leads to funding being spread thin and nothing
substantial getting done. Chairman Anderson asked for consensus
on several top priorities – public safety was acknowledged as one important
topic. He asked the committee to think about the various categories and
submit suggestions and preferences for a revised listing to be discussed at a
future meeting. |
