All right. Welcome, everyone, to the Monday, May 18th, 2 p.m. Rules Committee meeting. If we would start with introductions with Mr. Dennis, please. Garrett Dennis, administration. Colleen Hampsey, Council Research. Mary Stifopoulos, Office of General Counsel. Krista Carraher, Council Auditor's Office. Ken Amar, City Council, District 1. Randy White, District 12. Chris Miller, at-large, Group 5. Group 2, at-large. Mike Gay, District 2. Good afternoon, Michael. Boylan, District 6. All right. Thank you, everyone. Do we have any public comment cards? Thank you. We have three. Okay. In order, and you have three minutes, if we could start with Bobby O'Connor and then Latavia Harris and then Marshall Atkinson, please. My name is Bobby O'Connor. My address is on file. Well, some of you have already heard me, what I have to say, because I spoke this morning, but I wanted to add to it. I don't really understand how some of you good people could say that you understand what happened and is happening in redlining, and then you voted no for Jimmy Palouse, Council Member Palouse's resolution. That is not in alignment, in my view. If you truly understood what redlining did to this community and is still doing to this community, then you would have voted yes to that resolution. It's really a no-brainer. It costs no money, and I know you all want to be fiscally responsible. How could you not vote yes? You would be standing in solidarity with a large 20-plus percent of the population that you serve, the citizens that you serve. I do not understand, and I believe you don't really understand redlining and the scars that is left and that are still here today in our community in those areas which were redlined. And it is still happening, what was it, two years, maybe three, that Ameris Bank didn't acknowledge or account for that they'd done anything wrong, but they settled. Redlining is alive and well, you could have made what I would call an acupuncture treatment. You would have changed the energy field in our city if you could vote yes. And those of you who were not at the meeting this morning, please vote yes to Jimmy Palouse's resolution about not having a jail in a redlined community. Don't add to what is already done in the name of all that is good and holy. Do not add to that. Thank you. Thank you. Next is Latavia Harris, please. Good morning. My name is Latavia Harris. My address is on file. I have two things this morning. I'm here for the confirmation for Ms. Alice Nelson. When we talk about Eastside generation, Alice Nelson fits that marker to the T. Her home was one of the first homes that Reverend C.B. Daly built. Her mom left her that home. She'll probably leave that home to her son. And those are the generational legacies that we need when we're sitting on the Eastside board. Alice also is very active in the community. When it comes to an open door policy, she's the only one who has a door people in the community can knock on 11 o'clock at night. And she actually answers the door. And with that, I want to say thank you for allowing her to be on that board because she is what we're looking for when we say the voice of the community. Second of all, I want to say thank you for the resolution for Judge Henry Lee Adams. I know it's hard to believe that I could probably be in the same family as Judge Adams, but I am. And someone finally recognizing him for the things that he's done for the Eastside as well. For those who don't know, he was raised on Jacksonville's Eastside. Him, his brother Charlie, his sister, everyone was raised on the Eastside. And this is the importance we have when we come to speak about the community on the Eastside is there's so much legacy. And a lot of people don't know the legacy. I don't think Robin's up for today. But just when she is, I want to speak on her behalf as well. Robin was a person who left the community, but she left the community for reasons some of all of us have had. But she chose to come back to the community to show leadership, to show the equity that she has in the community. And she's taken a huge responsibility, even with the small things, training the community, trying to help us get to where we need to be. And again, those are the exemplary things that we look for with people when they're on the board. Last but not least, we wouldn't want to see a jail in these red line districts. You know, these districts already go through a lot of stuff as is. To put a jailhouse there would be catastrophic, especially we've had one downtown as an eyesore for, I don't know, since Jesus was a baby, I'm assuming. But I would like to say thank you. The Eastside loves Alice Nelson. Thank you for Judge Hillary Adams. We call him Archie. So y'all might call him Judge Adams. No red line. And when it's Robin's turn, that's my conversation for Robin. Thank you. Thank you. Next is Mr. Atkinson. Okay. Then the last person is, but does not wish to speak, is Robin Senizal. She supports Alice Nelson's appointment for the CBA Eastside Grants Committee, but again, does not wish to speak. Any others? Okay. All right. Given Council Member Amaro will have to be leaving us relatively soon, I thought we'd take his bill up before, his amendment, before we go into the appointment. So if you'll turn with me to page 25, item number 49, 2026-0403. Do I have a motion? We have a motion and a second on the bill. I believe we have an amendment. Is that right, Council Member Amaro? That's correct, Mr. Chair. I'd like to move an amendment to correct some Scribner's errors within this resolution honoring Mr. Todd Booth and the work that's being done at the Alhambra. Okay. We have a motion second on the amendment. Ms. Keher, is there any more to share on that amendment or anyone else? To the Chair, I don't have the details of those Scribners. Perhaps Council Member Amaro could voice them for the record. Through the Chair to Council Member Amaro, since we don't know the nature of the changes, they need to be put on the record so they can be properly voted on by the committee. Chair to Mr. Fopolis, we're striking, do you really want me to go through all this? Okay. Honoring Todd Booth, Executive Director, striking the word and, striking, Jesus, they're extraordinary, striking, some of the, the verbiage is repetitive. Um, line 19, striking bold, striking, uh, leadership efforts. Okay. So I think you're referring to a red line, um. Yeah. It's. From Council Member Johnson. Precisely. Okay. Um, I'll, I'll go through them. Thank you. Some of them did not make sense to me, to be honest, Council Member Amaro, so I'll let the committee kind of know where that might be the case, and then you all can address how you want to address those changes, if at all, in the amendment. So. Ms. Through the Chair to Mr. Popolis. I, I was out of courtesy doing this for Council Member Johnson. If you think it is too complex of an issue, I don't have a problem in, uh, pulling back. No, I, I'm happy if you want me to, Mr. Chair, to go through it. Most of it is wordsmithing, I would say, to the resolution. So, um, I can go through it and just kind of put on the record the, the substance of what he was looking for. Where I might have some confusion and he's not here to address it, then you may just determine not to include that as part of the amendment. Um, I'll let, you know, as the introducer of the amendment, maybe Council Member Amaro could address that as they might arise, if that's okay with you, Mr. Chair, for us to do it that way. Um, so the resolution on, on page one, um, it honors Todd Booth and Alhambra Theater. He wants to change it to say, honoring Todd Booth, the, comma, executive producer and director of the Alhambra Theater for, I believe it should say, his extraordinary effort instead of their, um, taking out the word Alhambra later on in that sentence. Um, and then on the second whereas clause, it would read, um, under the creative and visionary work of Todd Booth, Alhambra Theater stage productions have not merely sustained its, a legacy, but elevated its, like, artistic excellence with forward-thinking innovation, ensuring that this treasured institution continues to thrive in a modern and competitive cultural landscape. Um, on the next two whereas clauses down with the whereas clause starting on page one, line 30, whereas the Alhambra serves both proving ground and artistic and refined, comma, adding, with many moving to the highest level of stage and screen, and where established performers return to the immediacy and authenticity of live performance with artists such as former Miss America, Leonza Cornett, Leonza Cornett, Conrad DeAndrea Lewis, Daryl Rubin Hall, Dr. James Webb, Tara Connor-Jones, Paige O'Hara, Morgan Fairchild, and Dawn Wells shaping and being shaped by its stage, so it's adding that they would move to the highest level of stage and screen. Um, one of the, um, one of the items that I wasn't sure is there's a whereas clause that talks about the Alhambra's, uh, distinction extending beyond the stage and addresses its culinary, curated, curated culinary experience that occurs at the theater, um, talking about removing that, but then it was also part of, um, the article that kind of formed the basis of this resolution and the reason for the designation. So, uh, to the extent that he indicated maybe potentially removing it, I also think he made a notation to keep it, so I would recommend that the committee just keep that whereas clause because it is relevant to the designation, um, and he just wants to remove the word remain, um, and then I think he wants to combine it with the next whereas clause, um, and then, uh, starting with section one of the bill, the city council hereby honors Todd Booth and the Alhambra Theater and dining for an enduring commitment to artistic excellence, cultural preservation, culinary distinction, and economic impact within the city of Jacksonville, so just removing the word there and putting and to reference back to Mr. Booth in the Alhambra Theater and removing an additional and from that sentence, and I think that is basically what comprises the intention for the amendment. Any other items, Councilmember Romero? No, uh, Mr. Chair, and, and, uh, Mr. Popolis, thank you for your patience in enduring this, I, uh, that was not my intent to put you in that situation, and, uh, but nevertheless, those are the changes that are being, um, covered in this amendment to make this resolution move forward. Okay. And, Mr. Chair, if I could, it might be easier to move this as a substitute just because it would be cleaner for what I would have to draft and file, so if you don't mind, and there's no objection from the mover of the amendment to just move it as a substitute to the bill, if that, if the committee is amenable to that, it would be easier for our team to be able to file as a substitute. Yeah, that, that's fine, I'm sure. Thank you. We'll move it as a substitute. We have a motion and second, um, moving the substitute. Um, yeah, I'll, voice vote. All those in favor, please signify by saying yes. Yes. All those opposed, no. Um, we have a motion and second to move the bill as a substitute. But no one in the queue, please open the ballot and record your vote. Six yays, zero nays. By your action, you approve 2026-04-03 as substituted. Will, oh, yes, Council Member Amaro. Thank you, Mr. Chair, I just want to express my gratitude for you and your patience going through this. I, I, I don't like the half-step, but I feel I'm half-stepping here, and, uh, and I apologize for that. All, all good. Thank you very much, sir. So, next, I don't see Council Member Peluso here, uh, which is on your agenda, so we'll, we'll start with our reappointments and appointments. So, we'll go to page number 13, item number, uh, 17, 2026-0340. We have a motion and second on the bill. Um, is, is, um, Robin Lang here? Doesn't need to be, but I just want to check. No? Okay. Um, no one in the queue? Please open the ballot and record your vote. Six yays, zero nays. By your action, you've approved 2026-0340. We'll next go to item 18, 2026-0341. We have a motion and second on the bill. Um, is Mario Duconto here, please? And I apologize if I didn't pronounce your name correctly. Yes, sir. Thank you, Chair. Yeah, would you state your name and address for the record, please? Yes, sir. Mario Duconto, 103-51, Sylvan Lane West, Jacksonville, 32257. Great. If you would just give us a little bit about your background and why you believe you're a, you're a good fit, um, for the library board of trustees. Sure. Um, I'm a licensed mental health counselor, uh, by trade. Uh, I work with Fiscopal Children's Services, the Head Start program here in town. Um, and, uh, just growing up myself, I feel like I've always been very attached to the library. I feel very comfortable there, and I just, as a child, I spent a lot of time at the library because it was a safe place for me to be. Um, and I know that with the resources that we have in this city, I would like to, with my skills and my, my, uh, you know, interactions with other organizations in the city, would like to help support the growth of the library and the stability of the library. Very good. Seeing no one in the queue, please open the ballot and record your vote. Five yays, zero nays. Fire action, you've approved 2026-0341. And, uh, Mr. DiCunto and to anyone else being appointed, um, or reappointed, next Tuesday night, we will recognize everyone, um, relatively early in the meeting and ask you to stand up. All those being appointed or reappointed, not mandatory, but we certainly would welcome you to come so that the public may see and, uh, recognize you for your service. That's very kind. Thank you. Thank you, Chair. Now we'll go to the next page, item number 19, 2026-0342. We have a motion and second on the bill. Um, is Mr. Mote, is it Mote? Here, please. Yes, sir. Uh, through the chair, my name is Ivan Mote, 172 Barstow Place. And thank you. Um, would you also give us a little bit about your background and why you think the downtown development review board is a, is a good fit for you? Yes, sir. Um, again, I'm, I'm born and raised here in Jacksonville. I come from, uh, out east, uh, 21st and Phoenix, uh, 30th and Buckman is, is where I was raised, moved to Grand Park. So I, uh, uh, Jacksonville has been my home except for my time away in the military. I remember when this was May Coen's catching the bus to come down here to shop, uh, watch movies. Um, but I also served as a public servant for 27 years in Jacksonville. Um, uh, military as well, Surgeon Reserve, Navy, Army, and, and active duty Air Force. Uh, but Jacksonville, uh, brought me back home, my love for Jacksonville. And then when, when I moved downtown, I wanted a way to find a way to serve my community. Um, even coming here, I had a, uh, I'm so engraved in downtown. I haven't cranked my truck. So the battery died. I had to jump on the golf cart to run down here to this meeting. So, um, but I, I have a background in, in public service. Uh, I teach nursing right now. Uh, I worked in safety and I have an appreciation for the rebirth of downtown. I remember the history, but now we're going through a rebirth and we're making a new history right now. And I think my diverse background will, will help assist in, in, uh, building something that, that's, uh, you know, sustainable. Thank you very much. Anyone? Any questions? No? Um, well, I'll just say, Mr. Moat, thank you for stepping forward and, uh, thank you for your other service. Yes, sir. Um, you know, as an army guy, but I have to speak up for the Marines. Why not the Marines too? You hit three, you hit three of the four main ones. They wouldn't transfer me to the unit. So I went to the army that I tried to hit them also. Well, thank you for your service. Um, my pleasure. Please open the ballot and record your vote. Five yays, zero nays. By reaction, you've approved 2026-0342. We'll next go to... Thank you. Thank you. We'll next go to, uh, 2026. 2026-0343. Do I have a motion? We have a motion and a second. On the bill is Mr. Drussell here, please. Did I get that right? Close. Oh, sorry. Rhymes with Crucial. Jeffrey Drussell. I live at 676 Reflection Cove Road East, Jacksonville, Florida, 3-2-2-1-8. Thank you. Would you also give us a little bit about, uh, yourself and your background and, uh, why you think this is a good fit? You're looking forward to the Cultural Service Grant Program Committee. I've spent a lot of my professional life as a musician, as an actor, uh, primarily touring around the country with, uh, touring Broadway shows. Um, spent a lot of time as a musician before that, doing the same type of thing with various types of acts. Um, was an educator. What brought me to Florida, getting a degree at the University of Florida, and anticipated settling into a nice, comfy, uh, teaching position somewhere. But that was before the COVID times, and I've moved on to other things. Jacksonville is now home to me, and I'm really excited to use the experience I brought from basically both coasts for 20 years and all around the country to bring some of that perspective here. I'd really be excited to help guide some of the organizations here. Very good. Thank you. Seeing no one in the queue, please open the ballot and record your vote. Six yays, zero nays. Fire action, you've approved 2026-0343. Thanks, Mr. Druchel. Appreciate it. We'll next go to 2026-0344. Do I have a motion? Do we have a motion and second on the bill? Is Catherine Moore here, please? Good afternoon. Good afternoon. Would you please state your name and address for the record, please? Certainly. My name is Catherine Moore. My address is 1602 Seminole Road, Jacksonville, Florida, 32205. Okay. And if you wouldn't mind telling us a little bit about yourself and, um, while you're looking forward to the Jacksonville Ethics Commission. Certainly. Mr. Chairman, council members, it is my honor to be here with you today and to be nominated for a seat on the City of Jacksonville Ethics Commission as a former and current government executive with ethics experience. I have spent the majority of my career overseeing compliance and ethics programs for institutions of higher education. The opportunity to sit on a public board is one I take very seriously, and I'm ready to serve the city that my family calls home. I want to thank State Attorney Melissa Nelson for placing her faith in me to serve in this capacity. I am extremely grateful to her for this nomination. In the profession, ethics is often described as a culmination of the small things that we do when we think no one is looking, which ultimately reveals our true character. I hope that you will afford me the opportunity to demonstrate the way that I carefully consider issues, both big and small. As a long-time State of Florida employee, I care deeply about the role of ethics programs and oversight within government. Most of all, I believe that my experiences with ethics, compliance, and transparency at the local and state levels will be beneficial in this role, and I very much look forward to contributing to the meaningful work of the Jacksonville Ethics Commission. Mr. Chair, that concludes my remarks. Thank you very much. We'll next go to Pastor President Salem. Thank you, Chair. I had an appointment with Ms. Moore, and then I read her resume and said, I'd be wasting my time questioning this lady about ethics. So she's eminently qualified, and I'm sure will be a great member to this commission. Thank you for giving yourself up for this. Absolutely. Thank you, sir. Thank you. Next, Council Member Amaro. You're recognized. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you, Ms. Moore, for putting yourself forward. Thank you for responding to my little questionnaire. And just like Mr. Salem, your response was on target, on spot, and I think you'll make a significant contribution. So I'm glad to be voting you forward. Thank you very much. Thank you. Anyone else? Okay. With that, please open the ballot and record your vote. Six yays, zero nays. By reaction, you've approved 2026-0344. Thank you, Ms. Moore. Thank you. Next, we'll go to 2026-0346. We have a motion second on the bill. Is Heather, is it Reber? How about that? Good afternoon. Heather Reber with the Council Auditor's Office. I should know that. I hope so. Heather Reber with the Council Auditor's Office, 117 West Duval Street. You know, I don't, I think we all know your background, so I'm not sure we need to go there, but is there anything you'd like to share? I'm just honored to have this opportunity that Philip, Mr. Peterson, chose me to be one of the Assistant Council Auditors, so I'm excited to start this role. Great. We'll next go to Council Member Gay. You're recognized. Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'd just like to be added as a co-sponsor. All righty. Next to past president, Salem. Thank you, Chair. We are so fortunate to have Ms. Reber and Mr. Parks, who will be next in these positions. The Council Auditor's Office is the, I think, the star of this government. It's been said by other people, and I'm excited for you and the whole team, so welcome. Thank you. Next is past president White. You recognize. Yes, sir. Please add me as a co-sponsor in the next one, too, and if they don't mind, back up to 342, I'll miss Mr. Moat's vote. Please add me on that one, too. Thank you, sir. All right. Council Member Boylan, you're recognized. Thank you. Yeah, we can do a council amendment in just a minute on both of these, I guess, but I just wanted to take a moment for the sake of those who may be watching or listening. I did spend some time with both Heather and Mr. Parks, so it wasn't automatic. Of course, I understood that, but we had a chance to talk about what they were bringing to the table in terms of a new perspective. So these are slam dunks in one respect, but at the same time, we do take our role responsibly in making certain that we do the due diligence necessary to make sure that we are affirming the right people on the bus. Thank you. And do add me if we, I guess I'll offer a council amendment. I gave that in committee. Never mind. Put me down as a co-sponsor. This one, Mr. Parks. I think we're almost there. Council Member Morrow, we recognize. Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'd like to be added as a sponsor on this 346 and 347. Had the opportunity to sit down with Heather and Brian, and I was so impressed with their commitment to public service as well as their conviction to what they do. And I think that these two working along, Phillip, moving forward, is going to make a significant contribution to the council auditor's office and will continue to keep us on track. So congratulations. Thank you. I certainly agree. No one else in the queue. And the reason I hesitated on pronouncing your last name, I thought, I looked over at Ken, and I said, you know, for years, people have mispronounced his last name, and he's been so nice just to let him, let them mispronounce his last name. I'm like, ugh. Yeah. It's okay. Instead of just going with Heather. Thank you very much. No one else in the queue, please open the bow and record your vote. Six yays, zero nays. By your action, you're approved 2026-0346. Thank you. Thank you very much. We'll next go to 2026-0347. Do I have a motion? Motion and second on the bill. Mr. Parks, please. Brian Parks, council auditor's office, 117 Westview Wall Street. Same kind of thing. Is there anything you'd like to share? Same as- We all know you. Whatever you'd like to share. No. Same as Heather. You know, honored that Philip, you know, selected me as one of two to be an assistant council auditor. We hope to continue to serve, you know, the office and you all going forward. Thank you. We'll next go to Council Member Gay. You recognize? Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'd like to be added as a co-sponsor. Okay. Thank you very much. Before I take a vote, I'll also add in there, we rely so heavily on the council auditors. And to my knowledge, at least in the short almost three years I've been here, never been misled or misrepresented by them with the information that they've provided. It's always been spot on, exactly what you need, exactly when you need it. And I'm sure you all will continue that. But it's so very important to help the full council be able to have the necessary facts to be able to help them make the decisions that we make on behalf of the city. So, thank you very much for all you have done and all you will continue to do. Please open the ballot and record your vote. Six yays, zero nays. By your action, you approve 2026-0347. We'll next go to 2026-0348. We have a motion and second on the bill. Is Kimberly Corbin here, please? Ms. Corbin? Let's see. Let me look at this one. Do you know, Mr. Dennis, if she plans on being here, I can leave it open? Through the chair, yes. So, she's code enforcement, so I will get the director. I don't know if she's in a meeting, but I'll take care of that. So, please leave it open. We'll leave this open, and I'll come back in case she comes. So, we'll move on to 2026-0351. We have a motion and second on the bill. Mr. Ernest Smith, please. Ernest Smith, 400 East Bay Street, Jacksonville, Florida, 32202. Thanks, Mr. Smith. Would you please tell us a little bit about yourself and why you think the Jacksonville Housing and Community Development Commission is a good fit for you? Yes. Thank you, Colonel, and thank you, Rules Committee, for allowing me to be here. I bring over 16 years of banking experience focused on FHA, mortgage fraud, compliance, and anti-money laundering, and also client relations along with the bank. My experience in real estate also helps, given I've been a realtor for over two years. However, my banking experience far exceeds that, given I've been in banking for over 16 years, since I was a sophomore in college. Growing up here in Jacksonville, being born and raised here, I see, unfortunately, the economic disparities, you know, all throughout the city when it comes to housing and affordable housing. I have an office on the north side. I have an office downtown. And I have an office on the south side near Grand Bay Parkway. And, you know, traversing the city, I understand the economic disparities that most people, some people, a lot of people have in this city. With that, I want to be able to help those people out, help them to be able to find a home. A lot of people in my generation, millennials and younger, they don't think they'll ever be able to afford a home. I think that's a total travesty. So with that, I want to bring my skills in banking, whether it be advocating for tiny homes, advocating for modular homes, advocating for, I don't know, container homes, whatever it may be, to help out the affordable housing crisis here in Jacksonville. Thank you very much. Appreciate all you shared. No one in the queue. Please open the ballot and record your votes. Five yays, zero nays. Fire action. You've approved 2026-0351. Thank you, Mr. Smith. We'll next move to 2026-0352. I have a motion. Do I have a second? I have a second. On the bill is Alice Nelson here, please. I think a couple people have already commented about you, Ms. Nelson. So if you'd please introduce yourself and give us your address and then tell us a little bit about yourself. Hi, I'm Alice Nelson. My address is 1138 Odessa Street. I am a tenured legacy resident of the OutEast community. I was raised OutEast, attended the local schools, and I am a proud graduate of Jacksonville University. I want to serve on this board because this community is deeply personal to me. I do not just observe the realities of OutEast. I live them alongside the residents every day. Because of that, I understand both the challenges and the strengths of this community firsthand. Professionally, I bring years of experience as a technology and data professional, where I work with information that organizations use to make critical business and strategic decisions. I believe that same balanced approach is important for this board, using both data and lived experience to make informed, fair, and impactful decisions regarding community investments and grant funding. What truly drives me, however, is service. Whether it is helping a resident navigate an eviction issue, assisting an elderly neighbor in need, or helping a fellow resident get gas to make it to work, I have always tried to be a bridge. That can do it for people who may not have anyone else to turn to. What makes my perspective unique is that my relationship with this community is not just academic or observational. It's boots on the ground. I live in the community. I serve the community. And I am trusted within the community. I understand the real-life impact board decisions can have because I see those impacts daily. I want to serve on this board because I care deeply about ensuring resources are distributed with transparency, fairness, and a genuine understanding of community needs. Community activism and advocacy are not obligations for me. They are who I am. I believe my combination of professional experience, lived experience, and commitment to people would allow me to serve this board and the out-east community effectively. Thank you. Thank you very much. Well said. Thank you. Seeing no one in the queue, please open the ballot and record your vote. Five yays, zero nays. By our action, you've approved 2026-0352. Thank you, Ms. Nelson. Absolutely. Thank you so much. We'll go next to 2026-0355. We have a motion and second on the bill. Is Ms. Scheel here, please? Yes, sir. Good afternoon. Good afternoon. Please state your name and address for the record. Yes, sir. My name is Jackie B. Scheel. My address is 8879 Denny Road, Jacksonville, Florida, 3222-C. Okay. And why would you like to be the JEA representative of the Civil Service Board? All right. I'll try not to get too passionate about public service. Public service is what's ingrained to me. It's what my family did. It's what I did growing up. 38 years of public service, a little bit more. I started out as the mayor's summer work program in between my 11th and 12th grade year in the mid-Aid. And went into the service, and then when I came out of the military, then I started working with the city of Jacksonville, and then the public utilities department transferred over to JEA back in 97. So just recently retired in March, and not through with public service and committing to the public. You know, I do believe that we serve. We do not sell. I do believe in providing that opportunity to the community, a community which I grew up in. So went in at entry level, worked my way up through the organization, and having that understanding across all levels, excuse me, excuse me, all levels between, you know, employees, leadership, management, and knowing what's doing it right, and understanding what's doing it right, and making sure those rules of the Civil Service Board, they're there for a reason. They're there to protect employees, the community, our ratepayers, our taxpayers, and the employee, most importantly. And making sure leadership and the employee both, you know, perform at the accountable level to uphold those rules. All right. Thank you. Go in the queue. Please open the ballot and record your vote. Five yays, zero nays. By your action, you've approved 20-26-0355. Thank you very much, Ms. Shield. Yes, sir. Thank you. We'll go next to 20-26-035. Let me see. I need to make sure I go to the right one here. I think I'm going to 359. Yeah, it's actually a couple pages on, so it's 20-26-0359. We have motion, second on the bill. Is Raj Gupta here, please? Good afternoon. Raj Gupta, 12-7-2-2, cost us away. Okay. Would you please share a little bit about yourself, reference becoming a member of the Jacksonville Health Facilities Authority? Outstanding, yes. I've been 13 years in marketing and sales, as well as tech space right now. I currently own a business here locally in the tech and AI industry right now, currently. Father of six, my wife is active duty Navy here in Jacksonville, and I want to be able to help Jacksonville move forward, and I want to serve in any way that I possibly can. Okay. Thank you very much. No one in the queue. Please open the ballot and record your vote. Five yays, zero nays. By reaction, you approve 20-26-0359. Thanks, Mr. Gupta. I appreciate it. And last but not least, 20-26-036-0. We have a motion and second on the bill. Mr. French, I see him standing in the back. Please come forward. Introduce yourself. Jason French, the address is 13080 Silver Oak Drive, 32223. Thank you. And also, a recommended appointment to the Jacksonville Health Facilities Authority. What are your thoughts on being a member of that authority? My profession as an investment manager, that allows me to see how folks, as they age, a significant portion of their wealth is directed towards their health care in the latter years of life. The luckiest people out there are the ones who live healthy and die quickly. Unfortunately, there are some people who spend the twilight years in a health facility. The United States is the greatest country on earth, Florida is the greatest state in the Union, and Jacksonville is the greatest state in Florida, and I think our health facilities should reflect that, and I'll do my best to make sure that we're meeting those goals and objectives. All right. Thank you. We have Council Member Boylan. You're recognized. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Chair. As a man who is in his twilight years in a health facility, City Council. Jason's a great guy. I've gotten to know him well. We've interacted regularly. His passion for this city and for good government is high on my list, so I do appreciate the opportunity to support his nomination. I certainly agree with that, and yeah, I've already been added as a co-sponsor, so I don't need to say that. All right. No one else in the queue? Please open the ballot and record your vote. Five yays, zero nays. By your actions, you approve 2026-03-60. Okay. Oh, good. Okay. Thank you. I believe it's Ms. Corbin here, Kimberly Corbin. If you would, please come forward. Yeah, we have one more. If we'll go to page 15, and it's item number 24-2026-0348. We have a motion and second on the bill. Thank you, Ms. Corbin. Would you please state your name and address for the record, and tell us a little bit about yourself? My name is Susan Kimberly Corbin, and the reason I name all three is because I'm a mental name person, so you've probably seen a bunch of different names thinking I've got all these aliases out there. My address, my home address. Or you can say it's on file if it is. Well, it's protected under the code. Okay. That's fine. That's fine. How about a little bit about yourself regarding joining this position as Chief of Municipal Code Compliance Division? I'm sorry. I missed the beginning part of the question. Well, I just wanted you, if you want to, share a little bit about yourself as you've been appointed as Chief of Municipal Code Compliance Division. I am a 25-year experience with management, but also in code compliance. I have over 13 years. I worked for the City of Savannah and Citrus County, and I have all four levels of face, the Florida Association of Code Enforcement, levels 1, 2, 3, and 4 in my CEP, which is the Code Enforcement Professional. I have a master's degree in criminal justice administration. I feel my experience makes me a perfect fit for Jacksonville. I love Jacksonville. Came to Jacksonville from Savannah frequently, and so I feel like I'm perfectly qualified for the position. Okay. Thank you. We have Council Member Boylan. You're recognized. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Through the chair, Ms. Corbin, I didn't have a chance to have a conversation. What is your experience? Are you new to the city in this role? I am. I moved here March 24th, and I started March 30th. So you have a pretty good handle as to the scope and the depth of the work of that department? Oh, absolutely. And certainly the challenges thereof. I have to warn you, we were pretty spoiled by Thomas in that capacity. I sent you an email the other day. I'm still waiting on a response on the Hillwood property that I sent you an email last Tuesday. I'm just hopeful that we have the same kind of rapid response when we reach out to your office for some concerns. I will look for that email. Thank you. If not, let me know. I will forward it to you again. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. No one else in the queue. Please open the ballot and record your vote. Five yays, zero nays. By reaction, you've approved 2026-0348. Thank you. Thank you, Ms. Corbin. So we'll now go to the beginning of our regular agenda and work our way through. Item number one, 2024-0627 is deferred at the request of Council Member Diamond. Item number two, 2024-0966 is deferred at the request of Council President Carrico. Item number three, 2025-0775 is deferred at the request of Council Member Carlucci. Item four, 2026-0192 is deferred, and it was my continued deferral as well as number five, 2026-0203 is deferred. And then item six, 2026-0227 is deferred at the request of Council Member Diamond. And item number seven, 2026-0317, we have a motion, and do I have a second on the amendment? I have a second on the amendment. Ms. Carrier, would you please explain the amendment? Through the chair to the committee, the amendment will remove the code waiver that requires the honoree be deceased for at least five years, since the honoree does indeed beat that requirement. We'll place revised notice documents on file to include the second notices that were issued to the affected property owners. We'll correct the designated roadway description to reflect only the portion of roadway that fronts the church parcel. And lastly, we'll correct some scrivener's errors within the bill. Okay, thank you. All in favor of the amendment, please signify by saying yes. All those opposed, no. The amendment passes. We have a motion, second on the bill as amended. No in the queue, please open the ballot and record your vote. Five yays, zero nays. By your action, you've approved 20-26-0317 as amended. Item number 8, 20-26-0318 is deferred. Item number 9, 20-26-0319 is also deferred due to a June 1st, 26th neighborhood's public hearing. Item 10, 20-26-0320 is deferred at the request of Council Member White. Item number 11, 20-26-0327. Okay, we have a motion, second on the substitute. I do have one question before we vote for Public Works, if someone is here from Public Works, to be able to address a question on this. Good afternoon. Nina Sickler, Public Works. Hi, Ms. Sickler. Yeah, I just had a question because I wanted to make sure we understood the scope of the number and types of property. And if you don't have it now, I'd just like to know at some point after this meeting, I wanted to see, I believe we had somewhere around 16 of the properties that had been identified. And I was just trying to get a feel for how big of an issue this is going to be, you know, are these partial easement-type issues, or do we have any of these that are actually big, a big move, a big lift, like total property or majority of the property. I wanted to get a feel for the magnitude of these challenges in reaching these agreements, or if agreement can't be reached, going forward from there. So if someone could speak to that, I'd appreciate it. Or if not, get back with me later. That'd be great. Sure. I'll start with some general comments, and then if Renee has any more detail, I can pass it over to Chief Hunter. There are 16 properties that we are looking at. They are, none of them are residential. They're all commercial. They are mostly vacant. My understanding is that there are two of them that may have some parking operations on them, but they aren't, the ones that we are interested in for this segment are, don't have any active businesses on them. From there. Through the chair to the chair, Renee Hunter, Public Works Real Estate. I don't really have a whole lot more additional to say other than that. There should be an exhibit list attached to the bill that lists all the parcels, and I believe it's 17 total. You'll see that there's a range of less than a tenth of an acre, up to 7.42 acres total. They are all business owned. I do have a staff of people looking into whether or not they're commercial or whether or not they're active businesses or not. They are mostly vacant, as Director Sickler explained, but we're double-checking some things. Also providing, based on the last committee meeting, I don't know if you saw this morning, but they're all zoned commercial, except one is zoned CRO, so commercial residential office. But everything else is commercial or light industrial, and when it comes to the, we have not yet started negotiations. This legislation allows us to proceed with that, and if we cannot reach a negotiation with these owners, then it allows us to proceed through the Office of General Counsel to an eminent domain process. Okay, the ones I'm concerned with, if there are any, are the ones that have a major impact on a commercial property or company, and I was there this morning, and I brought up, there was an independent organization that went through this process with a local company, and it impacted them way beyond what they were ever compensated for. They had to move their headquarters to a new location, open up a new office, new operations, and I'm a little sensitive to that after watching that happen after the fact. And so I just want to make sure, if there are any major impacts on our companies, given these are all commercial, I'd like to know that as soon as possible, and just be aware as we go through the process. So that's where that's coming from. All right, thank you very much. If I could add one thing. Most of these are within the 100-year floodplain as well, so just keeping in mind that because of this project being connected with the Hogan's Creek Restoration, so these trail properties are within the 100-year floodplain typically, and so they're not as fully usable as one that would not be in that floodplain area. Okay, thank you. No one in the queue, please open the ballot and record your vote. Oh, excuse me? Mr. Chair, you have a motion. Proper posture. Yeah, you have a motion for the substitute on the floor, which you need to vote on verbally, and then you would take a motion on the bill as substituted. Got it. Thank you. All those in favor of the substitute, please signify by saying yes. All those opposed, no. The substitute passes. We have a motion and second on the bill as substituted. No one in the queue, please open the ballot and record your vote. Five yays, zero nays. By your action, you approve 2026-0327 as substituted. Go on to item number 12, 2026-0335. I'm going to defer this as well as what neighborhoods did so that it stays on the same track with neighborhoods. Item number 13, 2026-0336. We have a motion on the neighborhoods amendment. We have a motion and a second on the neighborhoods amendment. No one in the queue, all those, well, is there any discussion on that, the neighborhoods amendment? We had quite a bit of discussion this morning. Okay, all those in favor of the neighborhoods amendment, please signify by saying yes. All those opposed, no. The amendment passes. We have a motion and second on the bill as amended. We have Ms. Stavopoulos, you recognize? Thank you, Mr. Chair. A couple of things. So I do note that there is still an auditor-recommended amendment noted on your agenda to the extent you would want to discuss or take that up. It was an item that was part of the auditor's recommended amendments this morning, and so it's the one item they've noted to carry over to today, this afternoon. I also have some additional, what I would call legal cleanup that I received from Mr. Sawyer this morning on a couple of the provisions in the use agreement, and I can walk the committee through those. To the extent the committee would agree, they would be moved as an additional amendment, and then we could roll them into the neighborhoods amendment to create a rules amendment. And, Mr. Chair, I did take the opportunity this afternoon to also share these changes with Mr. Gabriel so he could talk them through with his client. So as I explain them, if, you know, to the extent you want to. So the first would be a change to the assignment provision that would provide that. In the event EWU wanted to transfer, finance, mortgage, or encumber the track improvements as part of their operations or financing, that they would be able to do so, so long as it doesn't materially impair the limited and programmatic reporting obligations that are set forth in the agreement. And to ensure that the added language be, or that the city and the general public's access rights and the track improvements would also be reflected there as part of that consideration. And then also, the last sentence would remain the same, that the city may not assign the agreement without EWU's prior written consent. The second change would be to the right to terminate provision. Currently, there's a sentence in the right to terminate provision that says, either party can terminate the agreement for a material breach up to 60 days, after 60 days written notice to the other party of the breach. It provides that if the default, whatever the breach is, cannot be reasonably cured within that 60-day notice period after the receipt of the notice, no event of default shall be deemed to occur so long as the defaulting party has commenced to cure the issue within that 60 days and thereafter pursues that cure to completion. So it just means at the end of the 60 days, it's not an automatic termination for default. It gives an opportunity, should the need to cure expand beyond the 60-day period of the notice, that they would be given a reasonable opportunity to do that without a termination occurring. And then the last is just to Section 19 of the agreement with respect to execution of the document and counterparts. This counterpart execution is something that's contemplated in most of our agreements so that we don't have to circulate one single copy of an agreement for everybody to sign. The city can sign a copy, the other party can sign a copy, and they together constitute one full document. And so it's just bringing that language in alignment with the city's standard language with respect to counterpart execution. So I would call that legal cleanup at the end of the day. And those are the three primary changes, and I don't know that if Mr. Gabriel has any additional input you would want to consider, Mr. Chair. Yes, definitely want to ask Mr. Gabriel. Sure, to the Chair, those legal amendments are perfectly fine. We're good with those. And we're certainly good with what went into the Neighborhoods Amendment from earlier, so we're good with that, too. We're the only one, for the reasons we've already discussed, we're not good with the recordation one, but we're good with everything else. Thank you. Okay, thank you. Appreciate that. Yeah, we do have others in the queue. We'll go to the committee members first. Go to Council Member Boylan. You recognize. Mr. Chair, do you want to get a motion on the floor with respect to these changes before discussion? Oh, yes, that would make sense, because otherwise, why are we discussing before it's moved? You could just move the amendment as explained by myself, and then if we roll it into the other changes from Neighborhoods, we'd call it the rules amendment at that point. We have a motion second on the legal amendments by Ms. Stapholopoulos. We'll go to anyone else on that besides? Well, I wanted to, Mr. Chair, if I might, through you, Mr. Stapholopoulos, you mentioned before there was one item in the auditor's amendment, which we did not address. Is that item E, because we did address item E? Through the chair to Council Member Boylan. That is the one carryover that is still noted as an auditor-recommended amendment for this committee's potential consideration. Understood. So, even though we decided to vote it down in neighborhoods, we'll vote it up if we need to. Correct. Okay, Pastor President Salem. I hear what you're saying, but in neighborhoods, we voted down that amendment. I think that should be reflected, even though rules still has the opportunity to address it. Correct. That is not listed as part of the neighborhoods amendment as noted on your agenda. I was just noting it on here that it was still carrying forward as an auditor-recommended amendment on your agenda, but with respect to the description of the neighborhoods amendment on the rules agenda, that item 2E is not on there, because it was not part of the neighborhoods amendment. Okay, maybe we're missing here. In neighborhoods, we voted down that last auditor's amendment. Council Member Boylan made the motion, and it was second, and we voted on it. But to the extent the rules committee is comprised of different membership, the auditors have marked it on here for this committee, whether you want to consider it or not is up to this committee. I understand. The point I was making was I think it's appropriate to reflect that the neighborhood committee did vote down that amendment. Surely rules can do whatever they want, but neighborhoods did vote it down. Correct. Okay. I just want to put that on the record. Thank you. Council Member Gay, you're recognized. Okay. Okay, Council Member Boylan. So if we are voting on the neighborhood amendment, it doesn't make sense to me that— You have approved the neighborhood's amendment, which did not require recording of the agreement with the clerk of court. It pulled E out. So if we pass the bill as amended by neighborhoods, then it's still out, correct? Correct. All right, that's all I need to know. Thank you. Thank you. So on the floor currently are these legal cleanup items. That is the amendment on the floor. Is it on the amendment? I don't need to speak on the amendment. I had a few other questions, but if you want to finish this up. Okay, we do. The one that those two agreed to. So whatever we're going to call this amendment by Ms. Stapopoulos and agreed to by Mr. Gabriel and Edward Waters University, all those in favor, please signify by saying yes. All those opposed, no. The amendment passes. May we roll those up? Yes, please. Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm looking for a motion and second as amended. We have a motion and second on the bill as amended. We'll go to visiting Councilmember Peluso. Thank you, Chair. And I'm sorry I had to run out on neighborhoods when a lot of the diving into this happened. Just a quick question. I know it was already just voted on, but it does say under 5, Part D, provide designated hours for general public use. Do we kind of know what those hours look like, and is that just the four times a year thing, or is it throughout the rest of the week you kind of get opportunities to use the truck? Yeah, and Ms. Stapopoulos can answer this too, but through the Chair, one of the amendments we did at neighborhoods at the end was to incorporate an actual revised revision of the agreement, and in that agreement there was a whole provision on community access windows. I mean, I won't read the whole thing, but it basically says that EWU shall provide community access to the track improvements during the following standard periods. It's Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 9 a.m., and then 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., and Sundays 12 p.m. to 6 p.m., and it goes on with some other verbiage there. And then there's also a programming provision in there too. Understood. Very pleased to hear that then. And then the other thing that I want to at least make sure my colleagues knew as well, and I don't know if anyone else is here from EWU that can kind of speak to this, but we are also waiting on the administration to sign their agreement with Shell Suite to make sure that there's a, I think it's a 20-year term that we're working on with Shell Suite with the city of Jacksonville. I'm seeing head shaking. Mr. Newby? Nothing to speak to on that. Thank you. So to the body, I just want to make sure that it's noted that we do have an agreement that we're trying to work on with EWU outside of this one to ensure that we have a long-term agreement for the Shell Suite Center to remain open. It's a city facility. However, the building, the city built the building, but EWU manages it. And we have a clinic in there, and we also have a senior center. We just want to make sure that both of those are able to continue to operate. It's very well needed in the community. If that clinic were to shut down, it would go back to having no medical services. So we're still waiting on the administration, the EWU administration, to sign that agreement. We have sent it over through the Neighborhoods Department under Travis Jeffrey. We've also added more money per year that the city would put in to keeping the facility in line. Just want to make sure that's noted because it is something that, you know, as we talk about our relationship with EWU, we've done a lot of work with them. We continue to do a lot of work with them. I want to make sure that we continue to pursue good things that benefit both the community and the university at large. I am in support of this bill. I'm very grateful to hear about the track. I just want to make sure folks know that Shell Suite should remain open. It's also an early voting site. Thank you. Thank you. The only thing before we go to a vote, I just wanted to, because we talked about it and the difference between committees here and it still was the auditor's amendment recommendation that was voted down in neighborhoods, that item that was pulled out, there were a number of people that spoke about what if they transfer responsibility either internally or externally, they transfer that field, then the terms that have been agreed upon would no longer be in place, no longer be enforced. And so I know we're all the same members, but I'm just saying it because it's a new committee. That could be a possibility, even though Edward Waters University has said they would not do that. I believe that's correct, Mr. Gabriel. Is that correct? They have no intentions of transferring to someone else to avoid the terms of this agreement that have already been agreed upon and that we voted on in neighborhoods and now getting ready to vote in rules. Yeah, to the chair and to the committee, that's correct. They have no intention. They've been there for over 100 years, I believe, actually 1866. They're not going anywhere. I do want to say the recordation, I know I said this before, it provides no further protection to the city. But on the other hand, it would be an encumbrance on title for EWU. So it means a lot to EWU. I would submit that the city still has all the protections that it has under the city contract. And one of those, by the way, is a successor and assigns provision that's in your contract as we speak. And in there, we can't assign this anyway without the city permitting it. So you're protected under the agreement. I appreciate that. And I'm going to just let our general counsel reps say one more thing about that. And then we will go to the vote, I promise, because we've been through this a lot. But I just wanted to highlight why you carried this forward and what your concern, your possible concern could be if this is not recorded. To the chair and through the chair to the committee. So the reason that the recommendation was made to record the use agreement with the clerk of court is that it would run with the title to the land. So to the extent that they transfer, donate, sell, or otherwise dispose of the land and the track improvements, it would require the new owner to honor the use agreement. So worst case scenario, you have a use agreement in place that's for a 10-year term with one-year automatic renewals unless terminated by the city with the council's approval. They could sign the agreement. We could get seven days in, and then they could transfer the property, and then without it being recorded, the new owner would not be obligated to honor that use agreement. I think there was some cleanup that was included in the assignment provision that Mr. Sawyer recommended that you have approved through your amendment, but it doesn't get us fully there with respect to ensuring that the city and the public use access receives the benefit of the full term, ensuring contractually and by a covenant and restriction on title that the receipt of that access and the benefit of that access is granted for the full duration of the term of the use agreement. And a lot of that goes back to how to further support and bolster the city's position with respect to the public purpose behind the expenditure of providing the funds to Edward Waters University. Okay. Thank you for that. Seeing no one in the queue, please open the ballot and record your vote. Five yays, zero nays. By your actions, you've approved 2026-0336 as amended. Item number 14, 2026-0337. We have an amendment. We have a motion second on the amendment. Ms. Cahar, would you please explain the amendment? Through the chair to the committee, the amendment will clarify within the reverter section of the bill that the restricted use period is the greater of five years or the time during which the vehicle retains any JSO insignia. So we're just mirroring language from the agreement, adding that to the bill. We're changing the oversight of the vehicle monitoring from the fleet management division to JSO. And lastly, attaching a revised exhibit three, which is the vehicle donation agreement, to clarify that the sheriff can approve an assignment of the agreement and correct some scrivener's errors. Okay. Thank you very much. All those in favor of the amendment, please signify by saying yes. All those opposed, no. The amendment passes. We have a motion and we have a second on the bill as amended. No in the queue, please open the ballot and record your vote. Five yays, zero nays. By your action, you've approved 2026-0337 as amended. Item number 15, 2026-0338 is withdrawn. Well, the recommendation is withdraw at a request of appointee. We need to take a ballot vote on that, correct? Do we have a motion and second on the withdrawal? We have a motion and second on the withdrawal. No in the queue, please open the ballot and record your vote. Five yays, zero nays. By your action, you've approved the withdrawal of 2026-0338. Item 16, 2026-0339. We have a motion and we have a second on the withdrawal. We have a motion and second on the withdrawal. No one in the queue, please open the ballot and record your vote. Five yays, zero nays. By your actions, you've withdrawn 2026-0339. We've taken up 18, 19, 21, 22, 23, 24. In item 25, 2026-0335-0, we have a withdrawal request on the part of the administration. We have a motion and a second on withdrawal. No one in the queue, please open the ballot and record your vote. Five yays, zero nays. By your action, you've withdrawn 2026-0350. We've already taken up 26, 27, 28, and now we get to 2026-0356. Motion and second on the bill. First go to visiting council member Peluso, please. Thank you, Chair. And I know, I think every one of you voted on this earlier today. And I hope by now you have changed your minds. I mean, in all sincerity, to the point that was made earlier today and what I know you heard from members of the public today, this is still a very sensitive issue. And we voted on this redlining bill at the beginning of our first year in this term. This is just an extension of that. This does not in any way hinder the work that Council Member Landon is doing or the administration or the Sheriff's Office. This is just making sure that we make it known early and often that no piece of this jail should be built in these redlined neighborhoods. It's something that we've been fighting. We've been trying to fight for the past several years to make sure these neighborhoods do not get bulldozed and destroyed, as we've seen during urban renewal and everything else. We saw the stadium take up some of these communities. And so the concern, of course, is going to be until we specifically say out loud, and through a resolution such as this, that we are not going to build in these redlined areas, the concern will remain out there in the public. And this is just a way for us as a body to say, hey, we do not think that any part of the jail should be built in these communities and neighborhoods. And so, you know, I know we had this conversation earlier today, and I don't want to belabor the point too much, but this means a lot, I think, to a lot of people, and I don't want that to be kind of ignored by this body. And I'm not saying that it is, because I know a lot of folks have opinions about, hey, the amount of acreage that we'll need just to build this jail is far beyond what we have in the urban core, understood. However, it's still a matter of, let's make sure we're in front of this. Let's make sure we're telling the public these communities are off limits. And that's the bill, and I hope that you have thought about it a lot today. Thank you. Given the extensive discussion we had this morning, I don't see anyone in the queue. I will say the liaison for this process, Council Member Landon, he spoke this morning, and he wanted it to be restated that he is not in favor of the bill. He would like the process to work, and then we make that call. Some others have made that comment. So I just wanted to convey what he would have said if he were able to be here. With that said, please open the ballot and record your vote. Zero yeas, five nays. By your actions, you have disapproved 2026-0356. Item 30, 2026-0357. We have a motion and a second on the bill. Seeing no one in the queue, please open the ballot and record your vote. Five yays, zero nays. By your action, you approve 2026-0357. 2026-0358 is going to be deferred, also to coincide with the deferral in neighborhoods to keep them on the same track. There is some additional information we'll be getting at the next committee meeting to be able to move forward. So item 32 we've already taken up, item 33 we've already taken up, and I believe we had enough discussion on 34 this morning in action. Council Member Freeman was not able to be here, but I felt it was fine, given what we experienced this morning, to go forward with this. So 2026-0362. We have a motion and second on the bill.
