Hemming Park Status Update – Bill Prescott

Mr. Prescott, CEO of Friends of Hemming Park, reported on the status of improvements and activities in the park over the past year. He reviewed the updated trespass rules and definition of the boundaries of Hemming Park and their impact on improved operations. The park is more welcoming and feels safer because of those improvements and the number of calls to the Sheriff’s Office has declined substantially. A full-time social worker has provided invaluable assistance to park patrons with social service connections, employment counseling and the like. The hiring of a full-time programming and events coordinator has improved the number and quality of the offerings. Committee members congratulated Mr. Prescott on the improvements in the look and feel of the park. In response to a question from Council Member Becton about finances, Mr. Prescott said that his organization gets $40,000 per month from the City for basic operational expenses. The organization generates revenue from the food trucks, private sponsorships, and from hosting paid events and activities. He discussed the areas where private sponsorships could be used (i.e. flower plantings, music festivals, movie nights, etc.). Council Member R. Brown suggested that a monthly concert series be initiated with City support.

Council Auditor’s Office Peer Review Report

Council Auditor Kyle Billy distributed and discussed the office’s tri-annual peer review by the Association of Local Government Auditors. The report found that the Auditor’s Office’s internal quality control system is suitably designed and operating effectively to provide reasonable assurance of compliance with Government Auditing Standards, the highest ranking available.

Alison Hewett of the Duval County Health Department provided demographic and economic information on Census tracts for areas on the Northside that have grocery stores versus areas that do not have grocery stores (or where stores are going to be closing shortly) pursuant to a request at the last committee meeting. She reported that data on Electronic Benefit Transfer card (“food stamp”) transactions for those areas has been requested but not yet received.

Joanne Kazmierski with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Northeast Florida described the club’s Ready 4 Veggies “farm to community” bus, which will provide fresh fruits and vegetables to children and families in low-income areas struggling with fresh food access. Boys and Girls Club teens will be trained to help operate the mobile fruit and vegetable stand as a form of entrepreneurship education. The bus will circulate among 5 Boys and Girls Club sites on weekday afternoons from 3 to 6 p.m. Recipe cards and cooking instruction classes are being contemplated to teach proper food preparation and nutrition. Council Member Becton suggested that a large part of the food desert problem is lack of transportation on the part of citizens, whether there are grocery stores available in a general area or not. Council Member Schellenberg suggested a door-to-door food delivery route rather than a single retail sales outlet.

NOTE: The next regular meeting will be held Tuesday, May 15^th, 2018.

Bill Summary NCSPHS: Amend/Approve

- The appraised value of the property is $743,000

- The buyers will pay $600,000 in cash and the buyers will execute a Note and Mortgage in the amount of $143,000

- The Note and Mortgage will be satisfied/forgiven by the buyer’s performance of obtaining approval of the Final Site Development within one year from the date of the Note and obtaining all certificates of occupancy on or before the Maturity Date (one year after City’s approval of Final Site Development)

Council Member Boyer said that the current land use and zoning on the property will not allow the vehicle service operation that the prospective purchaser proposes and she is uncomfortable with the City being in the position of having control over the timing of if/when the project gets its permitting approvals, which impacts on whether the $143,000 mortgage gets forgiven or not. She is concerned about potential liability on the City’s part if the project fails to meet the timeline for the mortgage forgiveness. CAO Sam Mousa explained the background of the applicant’s interest in acquiring the property and his involvement in bringing the project to the point of legislation. Council Member Becton suggested the insertion of a “failsafe” mechanism to cancel the transaction if the appropriate land use, zoning and building permissions aren’t granted in a timely manner and a requirement that applications be submitted in a timely manner.

Bill Summary NCSPHS: Defer

· Abyssinia Missionary Baptist Church applied for and was awarded a Public Service Grant (PSG) totaling $58,724 in the FY 2006/07 with Apel Health Services Center, Inc. listed as the program name.

· The PSG agreement was executed between the City and “Apel Health Services Center, Inc.” and payments were made to Apel totaling $58,724.

· A second contract was executed between the City and Apel Health Services Center, Inc. for a faith-based grant in the amount of $10,000.

· No audit was received from either Abyssinia Missionary Baptist Church or Apel Health Ministries for the two grants mentioned above.

· Abyssinia Missionary Baptist Church was placed on the non-compliance list because that was the organization listed as the PSG recipient in the Budget Ordinance.

· Federal 990 Forms for Apel Health Services Center, Inc. show no revenue being received from the City of Jacksonville or any other sources for years 2006 and 2007.

Deputy General Counsel Lawsikia Hodges explained the background of the non-compliance issue with the church and Apel Health Services Center, which resulted from the City contracting with an entity different from the entity that applied for the public service grant in 2006. This bill would remove the church from the non-compliance list and substitute the actual grant recipient, then would forgive the actual recipient for its non-compliance. Council Member K. Brown said that the City no longer has original receipts submitted by the agency more than 10 years ago that would verify their financial history. Council Member Boyer said that her research shows that Abyssinia Missionary Baptist Church and Apel Health Services Center had the same address and corporate officers in 2006 and 2007 and she is troubled by the fact that Apel’s tax return does not show that it received City grant funds in 2006-07.

Ken Stokes, Executive Director of Apel Health Services, explained that Apel used to be a ministry of Abyssinia Missionary Baptist Church at the time of the 2006 grant and later became an independent agency. He said that the agency received its grant funding on a reimbursement basis so the documentation was approved by the City at the time, and could not account for the failure of the City to have a record of the audit. Council Member Schellenberg asked the Council Auditor to research record destruction policies and what documentation might still exist. Council Member R. Brown said that he would hold a noticed meeting to explore the creation of a formal process to deal with agencies on the Auditor’s grant non-compliance list. Council Member Gaffney asked to be added to the bill as a co-sponsor.

Chairman Dennis supported the project but not the funding source, believing that the Council has been excessively using fund balance in recent years; he recommended that the administration find another funding source for this project in the FY18-19 budget process.

Council Member Boyer said that she will be holding a noticed meeting on potential uses of the $500,000 PAL contingency fund.

The total project cost will be $1.2 million, with $700,000 appropriated through this legislation for the purchase of two 20,000 gallon above ground tanks, relocation of existing 10,000 gallon tank, and repair/resurface of a section of asphalt and $500,000 over the next two years for repair/resurfacing of the Fleet Management facility.

Council Member Gulliford said that he would be introducing legislation to create a fund to accept donations to support this program and invited co-sponsors. Dr. Raymond Pomme updated the committee on the statistics from the pilot project that began in November 2017 and is due to expire at the end of May 2018. The program was offered to 77 overdose victims - 5 died before they could be enrolled; 13 refused to participate; 46 are actively engaged; 13 no longer engaged. There have been no deaths among participants, and only 2 repeat overdoses. Problems; 1) fentanyl-laced cocaine, 2) less potent fentanyl reduces deaths, but keeps users addicted. JFRD Chief David Castleman said that he has been providing data to the NCSPHS Committee and will be happy to provide it to all council members. In response to a question from Chairman Dennis, Dr. Pomme explained his methodology for projecting that African-American deaths may increase because of the increase in fentanyl-laced cocaine which has recently appeared in urine test results and seems to be growing. Council Member R. Brown advocated for developing programs to identify issues and focus on prevention rather than dealing with crises on the back end.
