Presentation: UF Health CEO Leon Haley
Jr. MD, MHSA
Dr.
Haley made a presentation on UF Health’s Academic Health Sciences Center in
Jacksonville. He talked about federal, state and local impacts on UF Health’s
operations, including Medicare expansion, a reduction in federal funding for
prescriptions for low-income persons, a $35.4 million reduction in state
funding for indigent care, and the expansion of the number of trauma centers in
the region. He emphasized the medical center’s status as an extremely important
regional asset and its link to the University of Florida. Jacksonville hosts
divisions of the UF colleges of medicine, nursing and pharmacy and is the
city’s safety net indigent care hospital. He talked about possibilities in
community connections, downtown redevelopment, housing improvement,
entrepreneurship, etc. Dr. Haley stated that the medical center has substantial
infrastructure needs, including a number of old buildings that need renovation
and updating, and he would welcome a partnership with the City on improving the
medical center campus and developing improved connections to Springfield and
LaVilla.
In
response to a question from Council Member Schellenberg, Dr. Haley said that
more than 70% of the patients at the downtown campus are Medicare, Medicaid or
indigent care charity cases, and less than 20% is commercially insured
(full-pay). In response to a question from Council Member Gaffney, Dr. Haley
said that he is anxious to have a conversation with the City about its indigent
care contribution and other alternative means of financial support. He is also
having conversations with UF in Gainesville about how to bring more university
assets to Jacksonville. Regarding the City’s employee health care option to
utilize UF Health’s primary care network, employees and their dependents are
enrolling and they hope for an increase as the year progresses. Council Member
Boyer asked for more information on UF Jacksonville’s plans to address massive
transformations in the health care industry, which she sees as analogous to the
changes the City is facing in vehicle-for-hire regulation (Uber and Lyft),
retail brick-and-mortar stores (Amazon), self-driving vehicles, and the like.
Council Auditor Kyle Billy to discuss
Reports:
#808:
Communication Tower Audit
Mr. Billy reported that the audit
found that lease revenues are generally being properly collected and expended,
but several shortcomings were noted: co-location fees not collected in 2
instances; tower revenue not always recorded in the correct account; failure to
increase the staring minimum leasing fee for new tenants annually; the employee
in charge of depositing checks is also responsible for monthly cash reconciliations;
lack of a tracking process to detect unknown towers or subtenants on a tower;
and failure to keep a check receipt log. The Parks and Recreation Department
and Real Estate Division agreed with the findings and will be making the
recommended improvements. Council Member Boyer asked for a “white paper” on
whether new cell facilities on City property need to come to Council for
approval or not, and for more information on the Office of General Counsel
opinion on how “cell on wheels” mobile units are permitted.
#809: Hillwood Master Disposition &
Development Agreement Audit
Mr.
Billy reported that the Hillwood agreement revenues are being collected and
deposited in an accurate and timely manner and had a single recommendation
regarding an annual audit or detailed review of Hillwood’s records in
connection with additional consideration payments. In response to a question
from Council Member Becton, Mr. Billy reported that the revenues can only be
used for improvements, maintenance and repairs at the Cecil Commerce Center.
NOTE:
The next regular meeting will be held Tuesday, April 17th,

Summary TEU: Approve Council Member Schellenberg felt that
the public doesn’t have a full understanding of why the sale of JEA might be
a good or bad idea because all the issues haven’t been fully explored yet, so
a referendum would be premature at this time. Council Member Crescimbeni said
that this bill simply asks the voters if they want to have a referendum on
the sale of JEA if and when a sale is proposed. Council Member R. Brown asked
why the JEA Charter contains a threshold of 10% of assets for City Council to
have a voice in the decision. APPROVE

Summary Fact Sheet NCSPHS: Amend/Approve Council Member Boyer said that this
bill is intended to deal with a citywide problem with drainage plans that
were presumably properly designed and built, but don’t serve the function as
intended and create problems for neighboring properties. In response to a
question from Council Member Becton about who and how these problems will be
addressed, Mr. Goldsbury explained that there will be better plan review and
a new inspection requirement before projects are constructed. AMEND/APPROVE

Summary Fact Sheet NCSPHS: Amend/Approve Deputy General Counsel Peggy Sidman
explained an amendment requested by Council Member Boyer to provide for
self-appropriation of the grant after it is received via the MBRC process. Auditor’s Concern: The City has not
received the grant funds, and typically private grant funds are not
appropriated before receiving the funds. KHA is scheduled to receive $4,000
upon execution of agreement and $3,500 upon receipt of a final report and
statement of expenses. AMEND/APPROVE

Summary Fact Sheet Budget Officer Angela Moyer explained
the annual estimation of insurance premiums, which have increased somewhat
over the past 2 years. Risk Manager Twane Duckworth said that the property
insurance increases were due to the effects of the hurricanes the last 2
years; the workers’ compensation increase was not hurricane-related, but costs
were higher than originally projected. The City is self-insured for most
forms of liability, with commercial insurance purchased as a supplement to
deal with large losses. APPROVE

Summary Fact Sheet NCSPHS: Substitute/approve Chairman Dennis said that the Kids
Hope Alliance will choose its first CEO at a meeting this Thursday. Diane
Moser, Director of Employee Services, reported that 4 candidates are under
consideration for the appointment. She explained the process by which the
advertisement for the position was developed jointly by Employee Services and
the KHA board. Mr. Dennis questioned the qualifications of Joe Peppers
pursuant to the application requirements. Ms. Moser explained the review
process and the difference between desired and mandatory qualifications.
Council Member Schellenberg questioned the relevance of the Chair’s questions
about the CEO hiring process to the appropriation under consideration. In
response to a question from the Chair, CFO Mike Weinstein described the KHA
board’s discussions of candidates during the hiring process. He said that the
KHA board was appointed to manage the CEO selection process and is doing that
according to its standards. The board did not give the Employee Services
Department instructions on how to vet the candidate pool, apart from the
development of the original position advertisement. Chairman Dennis
questioned Mr. Peppers’ qualifications and urged him to withdraw his name
from the selection process. In response to a question from Council Member K.
Brown, Mr. Weinstein said he was unaware of any names under consideration for
appointment to the KHA board to replace Mr. Peppers, who recently resigned
from the board. Council Member K. Brown asked for clarification of the
application screening process and minimum versus desired qualifications. SUBSTITUTE/APPROVE

Kirk Wendland Bill
Summary Fact Sheet Economic Development Officer Kirk
Wendland gave a brief overview of the project and requested incentives.
Council Member K. Brown said that she has asked the OED to develop a list of
all the businesses eligible to participate in the $200,000 façade grant program
and asked Mr. Wendland to distribute that list to all council members
representing the eligible areas. She also asked the OED to develop and mail a
flyer to all of the eligible businesses to inform them of the availability for
the program. She also noted that census tract boundaries will be adjusted as
of June 1st and some businesses currently eligible for the program
may not be eligible depending on how the census boundaries fall. Mr. Wendland
said that the private match requirement seems to be problematic. Council
Member K. Brown asked OED to consider other match possibilities – the 50%
cash match was unpopular and very few are willing to participate in a “sweat
equity” match. Council Member R. Brown invited Mr. Wendland to attend a future
meeting of the Special Committee on Safe and Healthy Neighborhoods to discuss
the program. AMEND/APPROVE

Summary Fact Sheet NCSPHS:
Emergency/Amend/Approve/fails 3-1 -
The
City will be direct contracting with Christie’s to auction the artwork in May
2018. -
The
proceeds will be used in the following way: o 50% of the proceeds will be
appropriated through separate legislation and given to MOCAJax as a one-time
gift for the establishment of an endowment fund to be deposited into the UNF
Foundation for MOCAJax to acquire, manage and maintain MOCAJax’s art
collection o 50% of the proceeds will be
deposited into a separate activity under the Art in Public Places Trust Fund,
of which only the annual interest earnings shall be used to maintain City’s
public art -
This
bill establishes a “reserve price”, which is the lowest price acceptable by
the City for the artwork at auction. The reserve price in this bill is set at
10% below $3,000,000. If any price offered at auction is below the reserve
price it will then require Council approval. Council
Member Crescimbeni explained that he had met twice with CAO Sam Mousa
yesterday after the NCSPHS Committee meeting and had all of his questions
answered and hoped that the committee would move the bill. He said he might
have a floor amendment next week to add a provision about what fund the sale
proceeds should be deposited into to maximize the revenue it generates for
public art maintenance. Ali Korman-Shelton explained the use of the sale
proceeds (50% to City, 50% to MOCA Jacksonville for art maintenance and
purchases). Mr. Mousa said that the Christie’s auction will be May 17-18 in
New York and will attract a very good audience for the sale of this EMERGENCYAMEND/APPROVE 7-0 1. Remove “upon introduction” from
