Council Member Boyer explained that a new grant category is being created for promotion of the Equestrian Center and that the Sea and Sky Spectacular is being dropped from the list of “signature events” since it does not advertise the event to tourists outside of the area. The event may apply in the future if its advertising meets the state’s requirements for use of the bed tax. An additional amendment will authorize the TDC to request, receive and process applications for use of funds with respect to events at the Equestrian Center.

1)     Insert the funding amount of $20,000 for the Equestrian Center Plan Component in the chart in Ord. Code; allow TDC to make grant awards for the Equestrian Center in accordance with the City’s adopted Tourist Development Plan.

Tom Hudson of the Solid Waste Division explained that the agreements covered by 2018-511 and -512 are standard solid waste franchises. Paige Johnston explained the discussion in the TEU Committee yesterday about the need for an Ordinance Code amendment relating to Class 3 waste, which doesn’t have anything to do with these two bills. Council Member Crescimbeni will be sponsoring the legislation to make the amendment to address the recent availability of a new landfill on Otis Road. Council Member Boyer questioned whether the language of the CON addresses construction and demolition debris as a form of non-residential solid waste. Mr. Hudson said that the “non-residential” term was meant to exclude the City’s 2 franchised residential solid waste haulers. Ms. Boyer asked for additional clarity on the definition of C&D waste and how it is regulated before next Tuesday’s Council meeting.

Economic Development Director Kirk Wendland described the project and the consolidation of positions from around the county into the Jacksonville location. The company qualifies for a high impact bonus because of the high salary level. In response to a question from Council Member Boyer about the future of QTI incentives should the state phase out the program, Mr. Wendland said it was his understanding, subject to verification, that QTI incentives are granted by the state subject to appropriation of funds and could be discontinued at any time. If the state discontinues the program, then the City would no longer make its payments because the City pays the state, not the corporate client.

Chairman Anderson said that he wanted the Finance Committee to go very carefully through the Capital Improvement Program over the next few weeks before the CIP is adopted along with the budget. In preparation for that consideration, he wants to discuss the various projects related to the McCoy’s Creek overall restoration plan. Council Member Boyer distributed and discussed a document outlining the various parts of the McCoy’s Creek plan, including emergency preparedness aspects, drainage system rehabilitation, recreational improvements, and ash site remediation. She noted that in many instances these projects have existed and been funded under other names (countywide drainage, ash site remediation, etc.) and now are just being identified as McCoy’s Creek-specific projects. The city administration has put considerable effort into phasing and timing so that the projects will fit together seamlessly and logically.
