Council Auditor Kyle Billy to discuss Report:

#752A: Mayor’s Travel Audit Follow-up Report 

Mr. Billy said that 16 issues were identified in the original audit, which covered a time period during the Mayor Alvin Brown administration. The follow-up was conducted on practices effective during the Mayor Lenny Curry administration. 13 of the 16 issues have been completed and the remaining 3 will be reviewed by the Accounting Division, which manages travel regulations, during 2018.

 

 

JEA Presentation on Backflow Program – Jordan Pope

Mr. Pope explained the need for backflow prevention devices on irrigation systems, which have been required by state regulation since the 1990s. JEA is required by a recent change in state regulations to report on compliance with the rule by its customers and is designing a program to meet that requirement. JEA has approximately 32,000 irrigation meter customers and plans to roll out the compliance program to customers over the course of the next 2 years. Customers may either have a JEA-contracted plumber perform the test and provide the certification or can hire their own contractor and submit the results to JEA. If the backflow test fails or if there is no backflow preventer installed, the customer will have at least 30 days to comply with the regulations. No enforcement action will be taken for at least 180 days after a violation is determined. Council members posed questions about the testing process, the cost of repairing existing or installing new backflow preventers and how the JEA intends to work with customers who have compliance issues. In response to a question, a JEA representative said that state regulations require that tests be performed by a certified backflow prevention tester, so a homeowner could potentially pull a plumbing permit and install or repair their own backflow preventer, but the subsequent test would still require a certified tester before the results could be accepted.

 

Council Member Becton suggested that above-ground backflow preventers pose more of a risk to the safety of the water supply than below-ground piping, adding a potential for liability, and that the state regulation is counter-productive to promoting safety. Council members asked the General Counsel’s Office to investigate the possibility of the City opting out of or refusing to comply with this DEP regulation. Mr. Pope explained the rationale for using an irrigation meter to avoid the sewer charge versus using water run through the household meter for irrigation. Council Member Schellenberg advocated for sending a message to the Florida Legislature to stop imposing unreasonable mandates on local governments and state residents.

 

Chairman Dennis noted that during the FY17-18 budget process the budget ordinance waived the requirement that the administration automatically adjust City fees at the start of the fiscal year as a result of an annual fee study and gave the administration until January 31, 2018 to complete the study and report the results. Ali Korman Shelton of the Mayor’s Office said that the study is nearly complete and should be finished in February.

 

NOTE:  The next regular meeting will be held Wednesday, February 21, 2018.

Council Member Boyer distributed a redline version of a proposed substitute for the ordinance and how it relates to the Sports Complex sign overlay zone in the Zoning Code with regard to on-site and off-site signs. Dave Herrell, Sports and Entertainment Officer, explained that the Jacksonville Jaguars have indicated that they are agreeable with amending Amendment 14 of the stadium lease to delete any reference to the team constructing up to 3 signs in the Sports Complex; there would only be 1 City-constructed and –operated sign. Council Member R. Brown requested Mr. Herrell to provide information on cost overruns in the $90 million stadium improvement project 2 years ago ($45 million City, $45 million Jaguars) that were borne by the Jaguars. He believes those excess costs may have contributed to the Jaguars not constructing the signage they had the right to construct. Assistant Council Auditor Kim Taylor said that the City owns the stadium improvements (Everbank Field, Daily’s Place amphitheater, Covered Flex Field) and should be able to easily access the book value of those assets to verify their construction costs. Council Auditor Kyle Billy agreed to provide research on the project cost and the City’s contribution. Council Member R. Brown suggested an amendment to permit advertising of City events not occurring within the Sports Complex overlay zone on the new sign. John Sawyer of the General Counsel’s Office explained the intricacies of the Sports Complex overlay and said that the pending ordinance cannot be used as a vehicle for allowing advertising of non-Sports Complex events. Ms. Boyer said that amending the Zoning Code for that purpose would entail a larger discussion with constitutional sign regulation ramifications.

 

Council Member Boyer offered a substitute that incorporates the Council Auditor’s marked amendment (correcting scrivener’s errors) and adding several clarifications about the location and permitted uses of the new sign.

 

-          Amendment 14 of the Jaguar Lease included the construction of up to three video board marquees.

-          The Event Company decided to reprioritize and not construct the marquees but will still have the option to build up to three marquees

-          The Event Company will have control of any marquees they construct

-          The City has decided to construct a video board sign separate from the three included in the Jaguar Lease

-          SMG will be managing the content of the sign

-          The estimated cost of the video board sign is $535,340, which will be funded by the Sports Complex Capital Maintenance Fund (2 Cent Convention Development Tax
