Report:
#822 – Quarterly Report for the Three
Month Ended December 31, 2018
Mr. Billy
reviewed a handout summarizing the quarterly report. The report projects a
favorable revenue variance of $5 million largely in three accounts – ad valorem
taxes, state shared revenues and other miscellaneous revenues (mostly
reimbursement from the School Board for use of JSO officers as school guardian
officers). A favorable expenditure variance of $3.3 is projected, almost
entirely attributable to approximately $3.1 million in the Sheriff’s Office
budget. Mr. Billy pointed out the additional unanticipated cost in this year’s
budget due to the Sheriff’s Office supplying officers to the School Board to
comply with the new state law requiring armed school guardians in all schools. He
noted that the JSO overtime budget projects to an unfavorable balance by
year-end of $7 million, in part due to the school guardian costs. Mr. Billy
noted that the JEA’s one-time contribution of $15 million in 2016 for septic
tank phase-out was deposited into the Stormwater Service Subfund 461 and the
interest earnings on that deposit contributed to the favorable variance in the
Stormwater Services budget. The Finance Department has agreed to allocate
future interest earnings from those JEA funds to Water/Wastewater Subfund 463,
but not to transfer any earlier interest earnings from Subfund 461 to Subfund
463.
Council Member
Boyer stated that the TDC’s bed tax revenues are coming in at about the same
level this year as last year, while the budget anticipated some growth based on
prior trends. She cautioned that if the trend continues, not only will the TDC
budget come up short, but the other 4 cents of bed tax collected for debt
service on public facilities will also be under budget. Council Member Love
said that passing an ordinance to apply the tourist development tax to Short
Term Rentals (i.e. Airbnb) would help to remedy this shortfall.
CAO Sam Mousa
explained that the state law regarding $12/hour funding for guardians equates
to a $7.15 hourly wage plus benefits, which does not generate a sufficient quantity
and quality of applicants for those positions. The City is billing the School
Board $17.15 per hour for Sheriff’s officers filling those positions in all
public and charter schools. The School
Board is reimbursing approximately 38% of the cost of JSO officers serving as
guardians, so the City is incurring a net cost of approximately $4.3 million
this year to ensure compliance with the state mandate. Bill Clement of the
Sheriff’s Office said that this expense was not budgeted in this year’s budget
because the law is so new. Mr. Mousa said that he and Mr. Clement are tracking
the progress of the expenses for this service and may recommend a budget
amendment later in the year as trends develop further.
Presentations:
PFPF Actuarial Report – Timothy Johnson,
PFPF Executive Director
Mr. Johnson
reported that the City’s contribution to the pension fund was $135 million in
December 2018 and will be $140 million in December 2019, mostly due to increases in normal
payroll costs for new employees and raises ($4 million of the $5 million
additional cost). The PFPF Board elected to apply an asset smoothing methodology
to calculate the City’s annual contribution which will smooth out large swings
in the amount from year to year. The funding ratio went from 47.2% to 48.5% las
year due to asset growth. The plan has $3.8
billion in liabilities and $1.8 billion in assets. The value of the sales
surtax collections for 2018 exceeded the original assumption, making the net
present value of the fund’s long term assets higher than the original
projection, thus improving the fund’s overall financial position. The net
present value of the liabilities is likewise reduced because of the increased
value of the future assets. In response to a question from Chairman Anderson
about the purpose of the upcoming risk assessment study, Mr. Johnson explained
that the current contribution rate is determined by a mandated formula; the
fund’s actuary has recommended commissioning a study of the assumptions
imbedded in the formula (mortality tables, future investment returns, etc.) to
test for their reasonableness. In response to a question from Council Member
Love, Mr. Johnson said that if the sales tax continues to produce at the
current level, projections show that the unfunded liability would be paid down
to the target level well earlier than the 2060 mandatory end of the sales tax.
Of course many, many factors will play into the future financial stream,
including the rate of employer and employee contributions and the return on
invested assets over the next 20-30 years, so caution in projecting future
values is urged.

Summary Fact
Sheet NCSPHS:
Substitute/Approve Joe Peppers, CEO of the Kids Hope Alliance, explained the
mini grants program for crime and violence prevention and said that 32 new
recipient agencies (of 37 total agencies) are participating in City funding
for the first time. The new programs were launched in January and February
after being approved in the new budget in October. In response to a question
from Council Member Gulliford, Mr. Peppers said that the vast majority of the
funding has gone to programmatic expenses, not to capital expenditures. Mr.
Gulliford questioned what will happen to these programs when the 1-year grant
runs out. How will they be sustained in the future, particularly if they are
successful? He believes the payment of the grants as reimbursements will be
problematic for organizations that don’t have the resources to front the
costs of the program and wait for reimbursement. Several council members
pledged to try to get more funding for this grant program in next year’s
budget. Mr. Peppers introduced several grant recipients to tell their
stories. Andrew George, Difference Makers, described his program
for young fathers. Julia Henry Wilson, Jacksonville Urban League, described
her program for workforce skills and personal development. Allyson Galloway Gonzalez, Cathedral Arts Project,
described CAPs program for teaching visual arts to young men awaiting trial
in the Pre-Trial Detention Center. Betty Burney, I’m A Star Foundation, described her
cooperative program with Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority to address the needs of
young women who are overage for their school grade with regard to confidence
and positive personal development. Ken Pinnix, 100 Black Men of Jacksonville, described his
programs to take young men on college tours and teach leadership skills. Assistant Council Auditor Kim Taylor described the
provisions of the substitute bill listed on the marked committee agenda
(including a revised Exhibit 2 attached). She noted that the KHA board will
hold a special meeting tomorrow to approve the recommendations for direct
contracting with several organizations. Peggy Sidman clarified that the
agenda is marked for the committee to approve the NCSPHS substitute, and that
Council Member Newby has two additional changes to recommend for a Finance
substitute. Mr. Peppers explained Mr. Newby’s additional changes to do RFPs
rather than direct contracting for two listed programs. The Finance
substitute was approved. SUBSTITUTE/APPROVE

Summary Fact

2 new civilian employees over 3 years and various types of victim services.
The grant does not require that these employees be continued after the end of
the grant period. Council Member Boyer said that the Task Force on Safety and
Crime Prevention is trying to compile a complete inventory of all
crime-related programs and funds and asked Mr. Clement to provide the task
force with whatever information the JSO can provide about its programs and
funds for crime prevention and victim services. Council Member Gaffney said
that the JSO has a program that is successful but receives little attention
that attempts to intervene in gangs and defuse criminal behavior. Council
Member Gulliford asked if the JSO has comparisons of Jacksonville’s ratio of
offices per square mile to other combined cities and counties in Florida. Mr.
Clement will forward that request to JSO’s crime data section for a response. APPROVE 5-0 |

Summary TEU: Amend/Approve Assistant General Counsel Paige Johnston reviewed the 9
amendments approved by the TEU committee, several of which are scrivener’s
errors and several of which are substantive. Council Member Gulliford
proposed an amendment to amendment #7 to require the original review after
the first year and subsequent reviews every two years thereafter. Eric Fuller
of the Solid Waste Division had no objection to an initial review after year
1 with subsequent reviews every two years. The Gulliford motion was approved. Mr. Fuller explained the
purpose of the bill to capture revenue lost from C&D debris generated in
the city but disposed of outside the city. He explained the methodology for
calculating the building permit surcharge to generate $2.8 million in new
revenue to replace the landfill host fee being repealed with the
implementation of the new building permit fee. Council Members Gaffney and
Newby asked to be added as co-sponsors of the bill. Council Member Gulliford
thanked the Public Works Department representatives (John Pappas, Will
Williams, Eric Fuller) and CAO Sam Mousa who worked so long on this project. AMEND/APPROVE
