[1:39] We'll have a good crew here.

[1:42] And I I just want to remind.

[1:44] MR. Oliver and anyone else who

[1:47] will be speaking today. Please

[1:47] stay on the bills that we're

[1:50] taking up today. If you can

[1:54] focus your comments on the

[1:55] bills that are up

[1:57] consideration today. That

[1:58] would be much appreciated.

[2:01] Otherwise all I'll remind you

[2:03] of that. So we have we have 2

[2:04] cards will start with MR. Kerr

[2:07] now Oliver. It's your time at

[2:18] the podium, Sir.

[2:18] >> Yes, my name is Khan over

[2:21] addresses on file. I want to

[2:22] get to more to the nuts and

[2:23] bolts of the city. And when I

[2:28] look at how funding effects

[2:31] community, especially American

[2:32] freemen communities. The to

[2:36] line item is too. It's our.

[2:42] >> 0, 5, 35, 5.

[2:45] >> 36 0, 3, 7, 7, It covers.

[2:47] Heritage communities. It

[2:53] covers. Voting rights. One of

[2:56] my things is that.

[2:57] >> And order make a movement

[3:00] where dollars respect key.

[3:03] It's just groups is that we

[3:05] have got to put policy in

[3:06] place. For example, district

[3:08] said. There's free 8, 7, It's

[3:14] one of the most

[3:15] Underappreciated districts

[3:15] because they had that this

[3:18] district has the largest to

[3:20] community-based a foundational

[3:23] black Americans. It's got

[3:26] underserved communities. And

[3:26] it has to well, a lot of

[3:29] communities. When it comes

[3:34] down to taxpayer resources.

[3:34] Income community, it's getting

[3:38] the both share. And it makes

[3:38] me question about maybe we

[3:39] need to split that district

[3:45] up. It's a 2 separate district

[3:46] and will place some

[3:47] significant got of a deep

[3:51] route. 5% representation

[3:53] throughout this city as a

[3:54] whole. So MISTER Sorry to

[3:55] interrupt you. But so we can

[3:57] stay focused, appear.

[3:58] >> Which Bill are you

[4:00] referring to now?

[4:02] >> The Bears down referred to.

[4:11] Is Bill. 0, 5, 3, 5, 0 5.36,

[4:17] 0, 3, 7, set. When I talk

[4:17] about investment, I'm talking

[4:21] about And when I look at the

[4:22] body of the representation of

[4:25] this community. We don't get

[4:27] no cleared. There's no on the

[4:31] stand. And I think that we

[4:35] need to have a compensation

[4:36] about breaking down these

[4:39] district seats and apply a

[4:40] compliance about 85%. It has a

[4:46] heart. How many people, a

[4:50] member to city Council can

[4:51] represent, MR. From where I

[4:54] was trying to give you a lot

[4:55] of a lot of to there. And you

[8:37] could. Thank you. Okay. I

[8:41] really like 0, 5, 3, 6, I

[8:42] think we should reward people

[8:45] that that sounds great. 5 to 6

[8:47] big. Yes, 5, 3, 7, begnaud.

[8:50] Why are we just paying them?

[8:51] Not complying and taking them

[8:55] off the noncompliance list if

[8:56] they didn't comply, we should

[8:56] treat them like everybody

[8:57] else. I don't care if the

[8:59] order the order of police.

[9:00] There are specific rules that

[9:01] are supposed to followed. If

[9:02] they break those rules, we

[9:04] should hold them to it right?

[9:04] That's what it's meant to be.

[9:05] That's what this is meant to

[9:08] be about. I also really

[9:12] enjoyed specifically. 0, 5, 4,

[9:14] 2, the expenditure to

[9:16] sulzbacher center. So senators

[9:18] really good work. I work in

[9:18] the area. I don't work for

[9:21] stalls Makar but so Walker

[9:21] does good work and the work

[9:23] that they've done. Very good.

[9:26] I think I should get that. I

[9:27] know that that's a little bit

[9:28] different because you guys

[9:29] usually do the competitive

[9:31] stuff. But I approve of. 5, 4,

[9:34] 2 very much approve of the

[9:37] other listed what 5, 3, 6, I'm

[9:41] very against 5, 3, 7, for the

[9:41] reasons listed. Also, this is

[9:42] a place where supposed to talk

[9:46] about stuff. There are so many

[9:46] people that are so worried

[9:47] about flock cameras. Please be

[9:48] worried about that more often.

[9:51] Thank you very much by.

[9:56] >> Thank you. We're going win

[10:07] Then after we've done that,

[10:08] then we'll go to the front of

[10:09] the agenda, move our way the

[10:12] whole way through.

[11:25] chair. Yet if Jayson kind of

[11:26] come up, just trying to find

[11:27] out where is the current

[11:28] substation ERs as a brand new

[11:32] one

[11:33] >> just because like a

[11:34] population expansion in the

[11:39] area, some along those Tyler,

[11:39] poor, the Jacksonville

[11:40] Sheriff's Office. I'm here

[11:42] with Commander Archibald over

[11:45] services. The current district

[11:47] 3 substation is located at 8,

[11:48] 8, 7, 5, Liberty Ridge Drive

[11:52] Suite. One 10. The has written

[11:54] the legislation will expiring

[11:56] NOVEMBER 7th. So we're looking

[11:57] to get into a new contract at

[12:00] a new location get that built

[12:02] out before the current lease

[12:03] expires. A new one will be at

[12:07] 83 or one Cypress Plaza Drive.

[12:10] Just What's the current right

[12:12] now is going to be somewhere

[12:13] start rent PRESIDENT. Much

[12:20] more of an increase.

[12:23] >> So right now at the current

[12:25] space, we're only paying for

[12:26] amenities. There currently is

[12:31] no rent at this time.

[12:34] >> What do do introduce

[12:34] yourself.

[12:35] >> So sorry, new Dr shuttle

[12:36] commander Jessell sheriff's

[12:42] office. Ok, thank you.

[12:42] >> Understood arts of this is

[12:43] so you've got a current free

[12:44] space. Is there any reason why

[12:45] can't remain there anymore?

[12:47] Just the landlords ready to

[12:48] move on?

[12:49] >> Yes, sir. So dream finders

[12:50] is currently the owner of the

[12:52] building. They actually

[12:53] applying for a permit to build

[12:54] a other apartments and condos

[12:57] in the area and they are not

[12:57] extending our lease at this

[13:00] time. Understood.

[13:04] >> All right. Thank you. When

[13:04] go to Councilmember Boylan,

[13:09] you're recognized. Thank you,

[13:13] MR. Is a commander Archibald,

[13:13] the new location is 3 miles

[13:15] north of the present location,

[13:16] approximately 3 miles. Yes,

[13:22] sir, I Challenged by one of my

[13:24] colleagues just about fighting

[13:25] for Mandarin, obviously

[13:26] mandate as part of district 3

[13:27] in your for moving this

[13:28] location. Further north away

[13:33] from the district. Could you

[13:34] with part to finding a more

[13:34] central location to the

[13:38] district for the zone?

[13:38] >> Yes, sir. So this process

[13:40] has been taking place for

[13:42] approximately 2 years to find

[13:43] a location for the substation

[13:46] that was reasonable and

[13:48] pricing as well as access for

[13:49] parking and other. And that's

[13:52] where the public as well. So

[13:53] this place that we currently

[13:56] located at 1 Cypress is very

[13:57] forward facing to the public

[14:00] right off of Philips Highway.

[14:01] And and there's plenty of

[14:05] parking ada, accommodations

[14:08] basically a better footprint

[14:09] for those that are coming into

[14:09] the district, 3 area to locate

[14:12] us and find us easily.

[14:13] >> Well, what do I tell my

[14:14] constituents to say that

[14:15] moving even further away than

[14:18] they were before?

[14:20] >> I appreciate your But the

[14:21] what you're paying rent here.

[14:22] Plus the with for the

[14:24] amenities sounds like a pretty

[14:25] competitive number that I

[14:27] would expect. You can find

[14:28] other locations in a more

[14:28] central to the district or the

[14:32] zone.

[14:33] >> Well, since we are

[14:35] approximately 3 miles from our

[14:36] current location, we wanted

[14:36] remain in that same footprint.

[14:40] I did look in personally when

[14:41] I took over the project to

[14:44] look in various areas

[14:45] >> but we wanted to make sure

[14:47] that we still had access to

[14:49] downtown as well as not being

[14:49] too far away from our current

[14:50] location where the public

[14:53] knows us to be a

[14:54] >> MR. Remiss if I didn't

[14:56] speak to the concerns my

[14:57] constituents that has seen

[14:58] substation moving further

[14:58] north. But thank you, MISTER

[15:03] Chair. Thank Next, go to Vice

[15:04] Chair Clark. You're

[15:07] recognized. Thank you. Chair.

[15:10] Good afternoon to the 2 of

[15:11] you.

[15:12] >> My question revolves around

[15:12] the rent. So the route that

[15:16] you going from paying nothing

[15:21] to paying 12,000 so dollars is

[15:23] that the average rent that jso

[15:25] pays in regards to distric

[15:27] sent to shore substations

[15:30] throughout the city. Each

[15:33] substation is this.

[15:36] >> To separate so depending on

[15:40] where where it is located,

[15:40] that is, you know, negotiated

[15:45] with the landlord.

[15:46] >> So based do to the chair.

[15:46] So based on what you're saying

[15:50] is that this is not

[15:51] necessarily higher than others

[15:53] are lower than others. It just

[15:54] depends upon the location and

[15:55] where you choose. Choose to

[15:56] place a substation.

[16:00] >> What is available for us

[16:00] which

[16:01] >> Okay. Thank you for that.

[16:06] Through the chair to the

[16:07] auditors. Do you have an

[16:09] average or do you know what

[16:10] the average cost is of the

[16:14] substations do so? With a

[16:18] lease Space Force Substation?

[16:19] >> through the chair of the

[16:20] council member Clerk Mary, I

[16:21] do not have that information.

[16:23] Is that it did the chair is

[16:24] that?

[16:25] >> is it available anywhere or

[16:27] is it possible for us to get

[16:28] that information through the

[16:30] chair to o'clock? My memory, I

[16:31] would ask the sheriff's office

[16:32] for that information.

[16:34] >> We can. We can get that to

[16:36] you. But please do because it

[16:38] just seems first of all, I

[16:41] like the idea that it was $0

[16:43] before and now we're going to

[16:47] $12,000 dollars. So.

[16:50] >> Once I do want to

[16:51] acknowledge the concerns that

[16:51] Councilmember Boylan has

[16:53] because that's part of his

[16:53] district as well. Thank you so

[16:54] much. We you a question. Thank

[16:57] you. Chair.

[16:58] >> We're next to pass

[16:58] PRESIDENT Salem. You're

[17:03] recognized. Thank you, chair

[17:03] through the chair either one

[17:08] of you. We have gotten

[17:09] completely away from the stop

[17:13] stations. That I think we're

[17:14] an initiative. I think Sheriff

[17:19] Glover. Store fronts just.

[17:21] That kind of thing. So we now

[17:25] have 6 of these several 1000

[17:26] square feet stations. Is that

[17:30] correct?

[17:32] >> Hello, sir. The stop

[17:32] stations are not intended for

[17:34] the public to. Visit because

[17:39] they're not and the stop

[17:40] stations are placed different

[17:41] areas of the city. There were

[17:43] officers can utilize those

[17:43] services and that's usually by

[17:46] the actual. Business that is

[17:48] providing those spaces that is

[17:52] not new cars to jso. Now a

[17:54] substation. Now that is our

[17:55] operations. That is where, you

[17:57] know, we have our commander.

[17:58] That's where the admin

[17:59] lieutenants are at. That's

[18:01] where we have our shares.

[18:02] Watch meetings. So it is a

[18:04] structure that we it is needed

[18:08] in each district in order to

[18:08] the operationally function

[18:10] within that area that it

[18:11] represents.

[18:13] >> No, I'm I'm not questioning

[18:14] you're substations to. I'm

[18:16] just trying to understand. Do

[18:17] we still have the stop

[18:21] stations you do?

[18:22] >> And they vary depending on

[18:24] the area of town. I'm

[18:25] assuming.

[18:25] >> And so they're still

[18:28] utilize. Yes, sir, very much

[18:29] so, if the charity council say

[18:32] on, if any business want to

[18:33] offer up their space has

[18:34] stopped station, they can also

[18:35] still do that. We can consider

[18:36] putting one there as well.

[18:40] >> Okay. Thank you so much.

[18:41] Thank you. Go next to

[18:42] councilmember so you're

[18:46] recognized. Thank you, MR.

[18:47] PRESIDENT. I think some of the

[18:47] conservation might be

[18:48] hearings. Obviously we're

[18:49] going from free site to over

[18:52] $150,000 a year ten-year lease

[18:55] its 1.5 million dollars. I'd

[18:56] almost rather don't hold your

[18:59] own building, frankly. But

[19:00] beyond that, I mean, I know

[19:01] that I have a few stop

[19:04] stations in my district. All

[19:05] I've got I've got 3 districts

[19:06] within my city council

[19:06] district to do a great job

[19:09] going to them. But I mean that

[19:09] there's it definitely does

[19:12] seem like a lot. Obviously i

[19:16] think none of us want to. Not

[19:16] support, especially during a

[19:17] kick out of your current

[19:18] location by NOVEMBER. I think

[19:20] it says more long lines of

[19:20] talk to these council members

[19:24] early and often, many of us

[19:25] know our district quite well

[19:26] and know where there could be

[19:27] landlord or potential space

[19:28] that could be substantially

[19:30] cheaper if not free. I know in

[19:33] my district there's plenty of

[19:34] places where where, where we

[19:35] could probably make sure jso

[19:37] gets too. So just keep us more

[19:38] in the loop. Feel like we're a

[19:41] few months away and we're only

[19:42] just now kind of hearing about

[19:42] But I just kind of my

[19:47] thoughts. Thank you. And the

[19:48] last speakers past present

[19:51] Care Cove. You're recognized.

[19:52] Thank you, MR. Chair through

[19:53] that area under this bill

[19:53] doesn't ask for more money.

[19:58] Doesn't.

[19:58] >> Through the chair to

[19:59] Councilmember Carrico. No,

[20:01] we're not appropriating

[20:02] dollars.

[20:03] >> I think so. We're allowing

[20:03] them execute Alice. They've

[20:04] done their due diligence. I

[20:08] think they. They have the

[20:09] ability to do that. Go find

[20:10] what's best for them. That

[20:11] since then we don't need to be

[20:11] nitpicking. This summing up

[20:13] appreciative questions. But

[20:14] which is let them do their job

[20:19] move law. Thanks. Thank I

[20:24] think everyone's. As the

[20:24] questions are made. The point

[20:27] that I just add on to that I

[20:30] agree with but pass prison

[20:31] care goes just But I think

[20:31] there's always room for.

[20:36] >> Going forward. If if we

[20:37] Well together. And I I i

[20:39] believe you're you're doing

[20:42] that but you've heard here

[20:46] there. There's a desire to be

[20:46] a to have those conversations

[20:51] and see if we can help you.

[20:52] Get the right, get the right

[20:54] locations in the right mix to

[20:57] that, to work together to

[21:00] assess how do you all best

[21:05] serve the districts? By where

[21:07] you're located and and also

[21:08] possibly stretch the dollars

[21:11] for the taxpayers. So I think

[21:11] going forward, no, that's

[21:13] that's something we can we can

[21:18] take away. But I but I agree

[21:20] funding wise and they've done

[21:20] their due diligence. And so

[21:24] I'll be supporting this,

[21:25] seeing no speakers in the

[21:25] queue. Please open about

[21:30] record your

[21:33] >> 7 yeas, 0 nays.

[24:24] >> thank you, chair. This is

[24:27] the resort. Excuse me. Reach

[24:29] for sale. This has been done

[24:31] before is not done very often

[24:33] in this story on this one. It

[24:35] was $200,000 in Winter Storm

[24:38] coach 15,000 or so to do all

[24:39] that MR. Cable reasons if you

[24:44] have any questions, this pond

[24:45] usually used for a fallen

[24:45] firefighter of police officers

[24:47] were injured. And they have no

[24:53] employees. This don't happen

[24:54] very often. Remember several

[24:55] years ago when bill was in the

[24:59] millions of but Foundation. So

[24:59] the for speakers at the

[25:01] council meeting in the one

[25:02] today. I don't know if that so

[25:02] they don't have all the

[25:03] information they need or just

[25:05] simply. And the law

[25:09] enforcement. I'm not sure, but

[25:10] I would report would

[25:13] appreciate the support on this

[25:14] MR. Keogh, Greece, if you have

[25:14] any questions come up and tell

[25:15] you exactly what the

[25:19] foundation does. Okay. Thank

[25:20] next Good Vice Chair Clark

[25:24] Mary, you're recognized.

[25:25] >> Thank you. Chair must do

[25:27] I'm not mistaken to kill.

[25:27] Denise is.

[25:32] >> What said early. Okay.

[25:32] Thank you for coming forward

[25:33] is going give your name and

[25:37] information

[25:38] >> David Gill crease, I am the

[25:39] treasurer of the Jacksonville

[25:40] Fraternal Order of Police

[25:41] Foundation. All right. Thank

[25:43] you so much for that. So

[25:46] >> into the chair and leading

[25:47] the bill and those that there

[25:50] was audit that was submitted.

[25:51] But the audit was deficient.

[25:51] Can you tell us a little bit

[25:55] about the deficiencies? One

[25:56] yes, ma'am.

[25:59] >> Through the chair when

[25:59] first negotiate the contract

[26:04] were and are labor contract.

[26:06] $0.50 from each of the

[26:07] officers working off-duty,

[26:10] which we call 10, 60. Comes

[26:11] from the employer and goes

[26:13] into that account and that

[26:14] account can be reviewed by the

[26:16] council auditor or anyone any

[26:19] time. So what we did was we

[26:22] also have another way of

[26:23] trying to raise additional

[26:26] funds for the same things

[26:28] which part of that maybe

[26:29] you've heard of the guns and

[26:30] hoses event that we put on

[26:31] trying to raise money for

[26:36] charities and such so we

[26:37] created the 10, 60 account

[26:38] that was specifically for any

[26:41] money that came from that. So

[26:44] when we also we're fortunate

[26:47] enough to receive the grant

[26:48] that through the city given us

[26:51] more city funds. It made sense

[26:52] go through that. Put that in

[26:54] that same account and we did

[26:58] that audit of that account. It

[27:00] read exactly the way the

[27:01] statute required. I've even

[27:05] got the language. But when we

[27:06] turned it they told us they

[27:07] wanted to know about

[27:08] everything. And we had already

[27:10] spent $10,000. This was going

[27:13] to be another at least 15,000.

[27:16] We make. We have no salaries.

[27:17] We get no compensation to any

[27:18] of our folks. And we're just

[27:18] trying to do the right thing.

[27:22] And this additional funding,

[27:23] you know, seeing a little bit

[27:25] excessive, especially since

[27:28] but we're in compliance.

[27:29] >> Okay. Thank you so much for

[27:31] that explanation. So what

[27:34] you're saying is that the

[27:36] audit that you submitted to

[27:39] the auditors it was did not

[27:40] cover everything. It is

[27:41] covered some things. So it was

[27:42] deficient in the in the in

[27:43] that particular area that it

[27:45] did not cover all of the as

[27:48] Beck's items that. The audit

[27:54] should have.

[27:56] >> To the chair, correct? It

[27:56] covered everything that we had

[27:58] received. City funds for just

[28:01] not anything that we did to

[28:03] raise money through our

[28:04] charity events. We wanted to

[28:05] keep it separate. So it was

[28:08] easy. So if the council

[28:09] auditors or anyone else from

[28:09] the council want to come in

[28:10] and take a look at the books,

[28:14] they wouldn't go where this

[28:15] money come from. Where did

[28:16] that money come from to pay

[28:17] for it? If it was all

[28:17] commingled, we want to do it

[28:20] where it was clean and where

[28:22] anyone can come and see it.

[28:23] And we did do the entire 10,

[28:27] 60. So it covered. Every bit

[28:27] of city money that come into

[28:29] the foundation.

[28:31] >> Thank you so much for that

[28:33] through the chair to MISS MISS

[28:38] River. Do you have any

[28:39] comments in regards to the

[28:39] audit that was submitted by

[28:45] fop?

[28:47] >> the chair Councilmember

[28:48] Clerk Mary, the audit that was

[28:50] provided to our office was a

[28:51] limited scope audit in just on

[28:54] the program, dollars that were

[28:56] allocated. It was what's

[28:57] required and temper when the

[28:58] teen is a financial statement.

[29:00] So because it wasn't what was

[29:01] required by the ordinance code

[29:02] there on the noncompliance

[29:06] list. Thank you so much for

[29:08] the okay at this time. Our

[29:09] link is the rest of my

[29:09] question to my time chair.

[29:10] Thank you. But I do want to

[29:10] combat.

[29:12] >> Thank you. Cayden. Well,

[29:15] the next 2 councilmen who so

[29:16] you're recognized. Thank you,

[29:17] chair there. It's always good

[29:19] to see you. Thank you. Thank

[29:20] you for bring this bill up to

[29:22] us and thank you for your work

[29:23] on the.

[29:24] >> On the jail, a subcommittee

[29:26] that we had many moons ago.

[29:26] You're incredibly helpful for

[29:27] that, especially. We talked

[29:28] about recidivism and different

[29:29] programs in that regard. I do

[29:33] have a question for Ms River

[29:36] as well. So have we how many

[29:37] other nonprofits have been

[29:38] taken off not compliance lows

[29:39] in the past couple years in

[29:40] recent memory. Remember the

[29:40] facility foundation with her a

[29:41] couple others. I feel like

[29:44] there were.

[29:48] >> The chair, the bus, Ali

[29:48] Foundation was in 15, 16

[29:57] fiscal year. 15, 16. But right

[29:59] now I know there's one

[30:00] previously a few legislative

[30:02] cycles ago. Then there's this

[30:03] one. And then there's one

[30:05] coming up for next cycle.

[30:07] >> What and what was that? So

[30:08] other than that, like I'm

[30:09] nation. What else have we done

[30:12] recently recent memory?

[30:13] >> Through the chair to

[30:14] councilmember So the Ellie

[30:15] Foundation received

[30:18] forgiveness and 2024, you also

[30:19] had that group forgiveness

[30:21] that was done for the safety

[30:22] and Crime Reduction

[30:22] Commission. Those mini grants

[30:23] that were issued. There were a

[30:26] number of number of those

[30:28] recipients that for various

[30:29] reasons ended up on the

[30:30] noncompliance list. So you

[30:31] gave you granted forgiveness

[30:32] to them because they were such

[30:36] small grants that they were

[30:37] receiving. Looking just to see

[30:39] kind of what else pops out and

[30:40] recent legislation. Those are

[30:41] the 2 primary was you have

[30:44] another one pending in

[30:45] committee that's providing

[30:46] forgiveness to made Away

[30:47] Foundation Inc. That will be

[30:52] coming forward shortly. And

[30:53] then there were also a group

[30:55] recipients that I think MAY

[30:55] have gotten the Rick

[30:59] forgiveness last year in 2025.

[31:00] For cultural service grants.

[31:01] So there was a tranche of

[31:02] cultural service, grant

[31:04] recipients that also ended up

[31:06] on the noncompliance list. And

[31:07] you also provided forgiveness

[31:10] to those agencies as well.

[31:11] >> Through Jedd that include

[31:12] the symphony and all that,

[31:12] right? Yes, Did include if a

[31:15] symphony and wjct was the

[31:16] other understood. Yeah,

[31:17] remember we've had a couple of

[31:19] these. So so this very recent

[31:20] memory. I do appreciate that.

[31:22] The crime reduction staff.

[31:23] >> That was a nerd council

[31:24] council then council PRESIDENT

[31:28] Sam Newby. He's many grants

[31:30] right there. Yes, there was a

[31:31] group that went through under

[31:34] him. But I think there was

[31:35] subsequent group that also

[31:36] received many grants through

[31:38] safety crime reduction just

[31:40] prior to when that commission

[31:40] sunset.

[31:46] >> So and to the chair river.

[31:46] With what they provided in

[31:48] their audit, the slower scope

[31:48] audit that still has an

[31:49] accounting for all the dollars

[31:50] that were received public

[31:53] money, correct?

[31:54] >> Through the chair to

[31:55] councilmember police. So yes,

[31:58] it accounted for the funds

[31:59] that they received out of the

[31:59] 200,000 they received. They

[32:00] received that 185. Allocated

[32:05] to them.

[32:06] >> chair must go. Chris, do

[32:07] you know if puppies and

[32:09] tending the apply for more

[32:10] grants in the future from the

[32:10] city or is this just kind of

[32:11] And we want to make clean in

[32:15] the event of future.

[32:18] >> I'm sorry. Not sure

[32:18] PRESIDENT Reeves was going to

[32:19] try to make it. He might

[32:22] unknown, but I'm 100% sure.

[32:23] >> Now knowing that that we've

[32:24] seen a number of these come

[32:25] by, especially like I know, I

[32:26] voted on a few of them saw. So

[32:27] I understand I'm probably

[32:28] satisfy this moment. Thank

[32:31] you.

[32:32] >> Thank next to past

[32:33] Presidents, Salem, you're

[32:38] recognized. Thank you, chair

[32:39] the chair. David, I'm going to

[32:41] support this, but I do want to

[32:42] clarify for myself. Some of

[32:43] the things I've heard.

[32:48] >> Youve got this fund. You

[32:50] keep the city contribution

[32:51] separate from the boxing and

[32:52] all those things. So you've,

[32:53] you know, 2 different ledgers

[32:57] for a lack of a better term.

[32:57] And you submitted the expenses

[33:00] on the 200. To the auditors.

[33:03] Is that correct?

[33:04] >> To the chair? Yes, as well

[33:06] as the money from the

[33:07] contracts that was shot. I

[33:11] believe it covered both.

[33:12] Covered the boxing is no, no,

[33:13] no, I'm sorry. I was no. I was

[33:16] thinking of the money from the

[33:16] overtime that the officers

[33:19] pay. But we did not include

[33:20] that.

[33:20] >> So you submitted the

[33:23] expenses on the 200 to the

[33:24] auditors? I heard something

[33:27] about 185 versus 200. Can

[33:31] someone clarify that for me?

[33:32] This rebirth?

[33:33] >> Yes. The the chair to

[33:34] customers, Salem out of the

[33:34] 200,000 that was budgeted to

[33:38] go to fop. They only received

[33:41] 185,000.

[33:45] >> That's all we I know I was

[33:47] I think finance CHAIRMAN With

[33:48] that occurred under PRESIDENT.

[33:50] Why I think we compromised and

[33:53] took a percentage off each

[33:54] contribution. So so they

[33:56] submitted $185,000 in and

[33:57] expenses to use that correct?

[34:02] That is correct. Okay. What is

[34:03] the difference? I used to a

[34:06] technical term a few minutes

[34:09] ago. You are looking for a

[34:10] financial audit or something

[34:11] versus what they submitted.

[34:11] Can you outline for made the

[34:13] difference?

[34:17] >> And through the chair to

[34:18] customers, Salem, financial

[34:19] audit would follow accounting

[34:21] principles and would be an

[34:21] audit of their organization as

[34:25] a whole. Where this was just a

[34:26] limited scope on the actual

[34:30] expenditures of the program.

[34:30] >> The financial audit that

[34:32] you're describing would

[34:33] include the 200 as well as all

[34:34] the money from the boxing and

[34:36] everything else. Correct?

[34:39] Okay. Is that really

[34:41] necessary? Thinking they were

[34:42] only sending the we only gave

[34:44] him one. 85. It just seems

[34:48] intrusive to MAY for them.

[34:50] This have to comply with an

[34:52] audit of I mean, I with if I

[34:56] had a company and they wanted

[34:57] something that was not related

[34:57] to my company. I I take

[35:01] offense to that.

[35:02] >> To chair. We're just

[35:03] following what's required in

[35:04] the Code of Chapter one. 18.

[35:09] Since they budgeted to receive

[35:11] $200,000 and because it's over

[35:14] that $100,000 threshold that's

[35:15] required. So what does the

[35:16] coach say specifically? You

[35:17] have submit financial audit on

[35:19] the.

[35:23] >> Cole?

[35:25] >> Into t. So if the recipient

[35:28] is to receive an amount from

[35:29] 100,000 to lessen the single

[35:31] audit threshold, which is a

[35:32] million. So between $100,000

[35:35] and a million, they would

[35:36] submit an audit report in

[35:36] accordance with generally

[35:41] accepted auditing standards.

[35:43] >> So generally accepted

[35:46] operating standards, auditing

[35:47] standards means.

[35:49] >> as a as a as a cpa means,

[35:50] the whole organization.

[35:54] >> That is correct. I I just I

[35:57] think we need to change that.

[35:57] That's my feeling. I think

[36:00] this is offensive. It's more

[36:01] than what we should be doing.

[36:05] I'm going to vote for. And if

[36:06] anyone's interested in working

[36:06] with me, we need to change

[36:10] that.

[36:13] >> Thank you do next, too.

[36:15] Vice Chair Clark Murray,

[36:16] you're recognized.

[36:17] >> Thank you. Chair. Chair to

[36:17] the committee into Mystic

[36:20] agrees.

[36:22] >> First of all, I appreciate

[36:23] the fact pope he actually

[36:26] submitted an audit.

[36:28] >> Several of the nonprofits

[36:30] and other organizations that

[36:30] have been in the same position

[36:31] with the same type of bill

[36:32] wanting forgiveness have

[36:34] submitted nothing. So with

[36:35] that being said, I am going to

[36:38] be in support. I do agree with

[36:39] Councilmember Salem. That MAY

[36:44] be. The audit. Ordinance needs

[36:46] to be changed so that they So

[36:47] you have to look at

[36:49] everything. But just those

[36:50] aspects of the dot, how they

[36:51] spit the dollars that were

[36:52] submitted to them to the city

[36:56] or do that. That city. Thank

[36:56] you, Thank you. Will go next

[36:57] to Councilmember Boylan.

[37:01] You're recognized.

[37:04] >> Thank MARCH, I concur with

[37:04] the comments both

[37:07] Councilmember Clark, Mary with

[37:10] respect to the necessity of

[37:10] doing an overall on it than

[37:17] organization in this process

[37:17] approving ordinance that

[37:22] certainly. And I know you

[37:23] could mention, David, about

[37:25] whether or not there's an

[37:27] interest on the part of a pea

[37:27] to disperse to another grand

[37:28] in this process. I suspect

[37:29] this MAY have to. Alter that

[37:32] in that process, but I don't

[37:33] think it's unreasonable for us

[37:37] to support this forgiveness,

[37:38] recognizing decide to come

[37:38] back for additional funding

[37:42] will be brought up. Many clear

[37:44] what is going required in

[37:45] terms of an audit going

[37:45] forward. I think it would make

[37:48] sense for us to do that. And I

[37:49] like the idea of saying, hey,

[37:50] look for grant even of this

[37:52] size, show us how you spent

[37:53] the money here in simple. And

[37:56] that's really what you did.

[37:57] And I think and I do

[37:58] appreciate the ordinances in

[37:59] place. We MAY need to impact

[38:03] change ordinance to reflect. I

[38:04] acknowledge during that

[38:08] organization like yours like a

[38:08] you know, just shows how you

[38:09] spend the dollars. I think

[38:12] will be Thank you. Thank you.

[38:12] >> Thank you. MISS Develop a

[38:17] list you're recognized.

[38:18] >> Thank you. Threw the chair

[38:20] to go back to the question

[38:21] that councilmember pollution

[38:22] had asked earlier on. I just

[38:23] want to clarify something for

[38:24] the record. This figure had

[38:27] confirmed for me that the

[38:28] Troche and Michael Grants that

[38:29] was that had a number that

[38:32] receiving forgiveness wasn't

[38:33] safety, crime reduction. It

[38:34] was actually the psg Micro

[38:36] Grant category where they had

[38:39] a number small entities that

[38:39] ended up on the noncompliance

[38:40] list. And that is the group

[38:45] that was forgiven and 2025.

[38:46] >> Thank you for the

[38:48] clarification and will go back

[38:51] to Vice Chair Clark You're

[38:52] recognized.

[38:54] >> Thank you. Through the

[38:54] chair to mystified plus a

[38:56] mullet to the entire

[38:58] committee. One of the reasons

[38:59] why I voted for that

[39:01] particular bill was the fact

[39:03] that many of those nonprofits

[39:04] do not have the dollars that

[39:07] necessary to conduct audits.

[39:09] And a portion of the money

[39:11] that they received from the

[39:13] city can't be used for the

[39:14] audit. So maybe that's

[39:16] something that we can also

[39:16] looking at the different

[39:20] charges of moneys. Thank you,

[39:20] chair through the chair. That

[39:23] is somewhat already addressed

[39:24] in the code vice-chair car

[39:25] parade. So if they receive a

[39:26] very small amount of money,

[39:27] they're not required to pursue

[39:29] a full audit like the ones

[39:30] that received hundreds of

[39:32] thousands of dollars in our

[39:33] audit limits.

[39:34] >> And what type of reporting

[39:36] is tied back to the code of

[39:36] federal regulations for

[39:38] different levels of funding.

[39:41] So we do have that tiered

[39:42] structure in place in the

[39:43] covid. Happy to talk to more

[39:44] about it. If you want to talk

[39:48] more.

[39:49] >> Seeing no one else nicu.

[39:50] I'm satisfied with what I've

[39:52] heard. Both now and I think

[39:56] the need to take a look at it.

[39:57] The road forward. So thank you

[42:52] recognized.

[42:54] >> Thank you, chair. And just

[42:56] for knowledge, this is from

[42:58] the ajc. So as we've noticed

[42:59] in the past, it's taking a

[43:00] while to finally get these

[43:01] dollars out because of the

[43:03] process. This is how the

[43:04] process has been laid out. So

[43:06] this is before us from your

[43:06] choice. I'm very grateful that

[43:08] we're looking at this. I will

[43:09] also say, please and myself as

[43:13] a co-sponsor. Thank you. Thank

[43:14] u next. Go do past present

[43:18] Salem. You're recognized.

[43:19] Thank you, chair I I said this

[43:23] in rules this morning. Having

[43:24] been involved in this endeavor

[43:28] for the last Cincy Council

[43:28] been council, PRESIDENT White

[43:31] gotten engaged in this?

[43:32] Probably the biggest need we

[43:32] have in this community right

[43:35] now are female.

[43:37] >> Homeless pets. And what

[43:38] this does is correct. That

[43:40] gives us 32 beds at Seoul's

[43:43] bacher. If you've spoken to

[43:45] Captain Paramour who heads up

[43:45] the path team, she'll tell you

[43:47] this is the most critical need

[43:50] we have out there. She had has

[43:53] nowhere to place. Females.

[43:54] Quite often. And hopefully

[43:55] this will go a long way to

[44:02] correct that. Thank you. Well,

[44:02] next to Vice Chair Clerk Mary,

[44:04] you're recognized.

[44:05] >> Thank you, chair. I also

[44:07] want to be added as a

[44:09] co-sponsor and I just concur

[44:12] and want reemphasize some of

[44:13] the things that Councilmember

[44:15] Salem said in regards to the

[44:16] fact that this these dollars

[44:17] are specifically targeting bit

[44:20] more beds for females. And

[44:21] once again, the goal is to get

[44:23] them off the street. But

[44:24] >> anyone here from the

[44:31] sulzbacher to Ok? So at one

[44:32] question I did have is about

[44:36] how they go about determining

[44:37] if the males who meet this

[44:39] particular requirement. But

[44:40] once again, I'm fully

[44:41] supportive of the fact that

[44:42] they're trying to get more

[44:45] people off the street. Thank

[44:46] >> Thank u next. Go to past.

[44:47] Present Carlucci, you're

[44:48] recognized. Yes, I just like

[44:54] is co-sponsor. No one else in

[44:57] the for we. Ticket, though I

[45:00] did a couple questions. But

[45:01] given no one's here South Park

[45:04] are high. I'm not sure someone

[45:05] would be an answer this. I've

[45:05] had some exchanges with the

[45:06] otters. One. This is was

[45:09] originally introduced. It

[45:11] talked about creating those

[45:14] additional 32 beds. But as I

[45:16] saw the breakdown of costs,

[45:18] only about $3,000 was actually

[45:24] listed expanding facility

[45:25] capacity for those beds. So

[45:32] that that. Cause me some pause

[45:32] and wanted to try to get the

[45:37] answer to that. However. I

[45:40] don't want to hold up

[45:40] progress. These 32 beds are

[45:44] very much needed to have been

[45:45] paying close attention to

[45:46] everything since we had a says

[45:47] she stood up and we do need

[45:50] these beds for I for jfrd to

[45:55] be able to take women too. In

[45:58] an environment that's that's

[45:59] appropriate in this helps to

[46:06] that. So. Yeah, I I let this

[46:08] go because this this goes

[46:09] online. The numbers line up

[46:12] with rate prove beds for the

[46:14] other facilities. I just want

[46:19] to make sure that everybody is

[46:21] is getting the attention and

[46:23] the money they need to expand

[46:25] the capacities where and when

[46:26] they're able to provide that.

[46:30] And I think this is this is a

[46:31] good step forward. So with

[46:31] that is open about Nicole, you

[46:36] about

[46:40] >> 7 yeas, 0 nays.

[53:46] Carol, do you have? In this

[53:47] process protecting the city in

[53:51] this endeavor. But they share

[53:52] the COUNCILMAN Salem. So thank

[53:53] for the lady beside us,

[53:56] smiling, some gusting up with

[53:56] something.

[53:57] >> thank thank you for that.

[54:00] Through the chair, the council

[54:01] Salem. So we've we've actually

[54:03] come a long way with this. As

[54:05] you remember. That was 2.6

[54:05] million dollars that was

[54:08] provided to Jerry part of this

[54:12] project as a whole and the

[54:14] budget. So initially that

[54:14] thought process and concept

[54:16] was Jerry was going to take

[54:17] over everything. So we've

[54:20] scaled that back to a point

[54:21] that the city is going to

[54:23] maintain the maintenance of

[54:24] these facilities. Jr is going

[54:26] to focus in on the programming

[54:28] and fundraising at this point

[54:31] and then we'll work together,

[54:32] took to provide more capacity

[54:33] to the organization. I will

[54:36] have a seat on their board,

[54:38] which I feel really confident

[54:40] too. The in the loop as of

[54:42] continue to be throughout this

[54:43] process. So, yes, I will be

[54:45] involved in will stay

[54:46] involved.

[54:48] >> Sounds like we've hit a

[54:49] good balance. And in that

[54:51] respect not to prohibit them

[54:52] from doing what they need to

[54:56] do that I feel personally, you

[54:57] being involved in the

[55:00] maintenance of the park says

[55:01] probably you you're your

[55:03] strength in that respect. And

[55:04] probably will benefit the

[55:08] whole organization. Thank you.

[55:09] >> your buck in this piggyback

[55:10] on that 1, 1, thing I will say

[55:12] that we've learned Friendship

[55:15] just as an example. We're

[55:16] close to a million people per

[55:19] year visiting that site. So

[55:20] again, we only get one time to

[55:23] get this right. Also working

[55:24] with Jerry to really enhance

[55:27] the programming peas. I think

[55:28] it's going to be a true jewel

[55:28] for what we actually have on

[55:35] our riverfront.

[55:37] >> my pauses before we go

[55:39] further, we did not vote on

[55:40] the amendment. So if we can do

[55:45] that first and and then. Okay,

[55:47] it's strictly on the amendment

[55:48] and then we'll come back for

[55:48] the general questions and

[55:52] comments. Please go ahead.

[55:52] >> Thank you, chair. As I'm

[55:54] looking at the parks, this

[55:57] question is to MISS Is there

[55:58] no way that we can add Unity

[56:02] Plaza to this?

[56:04] >> Lindsay, I Jacksonville

[56:04] Riverfront Alliance addressed

[56:06] to be on file. Thank you

[56:09] council incluso for that

[56:11] question. The organization as

[56:14] it was designed, we've spent

[56:17] over a year researching this

[56:18] model that the organization as

[56:19] it is designed is very

[56:19] specifically for the

[56:21] riverfront public spaces. And

[56:24] unfortunately, Unity Plaza is

[56:26] just about a block block and a

[56:28] half later, one-tenth of a

[56:29] mile away. It's right there.

[56:30] Just got to add it.

[56:31] >> All right. I'm good with

[56:34] that. Thank you. Chair.

[56:35] >> Okay. All those in favor of

[56:36] amendment. Please signify by

[56:39] saying yes. I was opposed. No.

[56:45] The amendment passes. I think

[56:45] I'll take that as a motion and

[56:49] second on the bill as amended,

[56:50] we'll go next to Councilmember

[56:53] Berlin. You're recognized.

[56:55] >> Thank you, MISTER Chair. I

[56:57] just wanted to a test when

[56:58] council PRESIDENT White assign

[57:01] me to work with this group. I

[57:02] came to appreciate the

[57:05] diligence and the good work

[57:07] and the challenge they had and

[57:07] navigating with administration

[57:08] with MR. Justice on. I think

[57:11] we're in a very good place. I

[57:12] think it's really important

[57:13] that we look vocus on

[57:15] programming making sure that

[57:15] we actually utilize these

[57:19] parks. And I know one of the

[57:19] goals and Atlanta and others

[57:20] have worked on is to making

[57:23] sure that we have world-class

[57:25] parks and well-used pork last

[57:27] parks. I want to make the

[57:29] point, as we get into the

[57:31] budget process, that this is a

[57:31] course service to our

[57:32] community and in city for us

[57:33] to move forward. Thank you,

[57:35] MR. Chair.

[57:38] >> Thank you. Back to council

[57:41] member who said you're

[57:42] recognized. Thank you, chair.

[57:43] Now this. So grateful for this

[57:44] piece legislation, the work

[57:46] you guys have done.

[57:47] >> To the we only get one

[57:48] chance to do this, I think are

[57:50] incredibly right. I think as

[57:51] we see more of your teen

[57:52] takeovers and more stuff like

[57:54] that, we got to make sure that

[57:55] these parts are properly

[57:56] maintained that we're prepared

[57:56] for those kinds of things

[57:58] because of a bad reputation

[58:00] begins. We get to about spot.

[58:01] So I think I think Jerry is

[58:03] going to help the like a major

[58:05] part of the effort that they

[58:05] make sure that these parks are

[58:06] in pristine condition and that

[58:08] we you know, not being a and a

[58:09] place for some of these other

[58:10] cities are. So I'm very

[58:11] grateful to this. I would like

[58:15] to be a co-sponsor. Thank you.

[58:16] Thank you. We're going next to

[58:17] pass. PRESIDENT Carlucci

[58:18] recognized. Thank chair

[58:30] co-sponsor place. Ok? It looks

[58:32] it looks like we're all there.

[58:34] Looks like we're all there

[58:34] without committee amendment.

[58:38] But can't do that. But

[58:40] >> yes, please. But I do want

[58:41] to make some comments before

[58:47] we take the vote I think as I

[58:49] a group of the leadership who

[58:51] came and and walked me through

[58:53] all this and I apologize that

[58:54] the meeting went so long

[58:55] because I did get into the

[58:58] details. My concern is not

[58:59] only for these 15 parks that

[59:00] have been recognized for

[59:06] downtown. But going forward

[59:07] whose responsibility is for

[59:08] the over 400 parks that I

[59:09] think are in your portfolio

[59:12] that you manage MR. Joseph,

[59:13] for the maintenance know you

[59:17] you specified here that your

[59:18] going to be responsible for

[59:19] the maintenance for all these

[59:23] 15 there were a couple

[59:24] questions about that and whose

[59:28] responsibilities where, what

[59:29] and where the lines were

[59:31] drawn. That's that's been

[59:32] articulated Programming and

[59:34] funding versus maintenance.

[59:37] I'm comfortable with that. And

[59:38] this is starter money. I think

[59:40] some of this money was below

[59:42] the line before. So it's being

[59:43] moved up and I'm perfectly

[59:45] fine with that to get the

[59:48] start that they need my

[59:50] concern and just caution going

[59:50] forward. We talked a lot about

[59:55] the need for public-private

[59:57] partnerships. This is a

[59:58] perfect example for the way

[1:00:00] forward to bring in all those

[1:00:01] companies, all those

[1:00:03] philanthropist who would love

[1:00:07] to play a part in making, as

[1:00:10] was stated, those parks,

[1:00:11] world-class parks. They

[1:00:12] utilized by all our citizens

[1:00:14] as well as the visitors and

[1:00:19] that they stay at that level.

[1:00:22] You we have some concerns

[1:00:23] coming forward physically with

[1:00:26] our challenges with revenue.

[1:00:28] So my my charge to you, all of

[1:00:31] you would accept it is. Let's

[1:00:34] all look for ways to form

[1:00:34] those public private

[1:00:36] partnerships for future

[1:00:37] funding for these efforts to

[1:00:38] augment the funds are already

[1:00:41] being applied. So thank you

[1:00:42] very much with that. Please

[1:02:51] good number of times,

[1:02:54] including with this carpenter.

[1:02:57] He's been one of the biggest

[1:02:58] supporters for many, many

[1:03:03] years. I had at first blush

[1:03:06] thought maybe we could and to

[1:03:07] add some dollars to this. For

[1:03:10] that would put too many

[1:03:11] gymnastics for the bill. And I

[1:03:14] don't want to do that. But I

[1:03:15] just wanted to use this

[1:03:16] opportunity say that I'm going

[1:03:21] to. I try to have some

[1:03:22] sunshine meetings because I

[1:03:26] think I have identified some

[1:03:27] funding sources or I'd like to

[1:03:28] introduce a bill on my own to

[1:03:31] add some dollars to this. And

[1:03:34] and once I have met with the

[1:03:35] Salvation Army, the council

[1:10:31] community meeting. I'd like to

[1:10:32] be listed as a co-sponsor,

[1:10:40] very supportive. Thank you.

[1:10:41] Will will go next to the bill

[1:10:42] introduced or councilmember

[1:10:44] boiling. You're recognized.

[1:10:45] >> Thank you, MR. Appreciate

[1:10:46] the kind words my colleagues

[1:10:49] in support of this. There is a

[1:10:49] hand out in front of you that

[1:10:53] speaks to this. As you can

[1:10:53] see, I've been involved in

[1:10:54] this particular project, the

[1:10:57] efforts of this going back to

[1:11:00] 2020, Parks pre see that in

[1:11:02] terms the community made a

[1:11:06] very come out a compelling

[1:11:07] history documented history as

[1:11:07] to why we got to where we are

[1:11:09] in this process. Quite

[1:11:14] frankly, I. And the reason and

[1:11:14] we are trying to sort of

[1:11:17] public works to manage and the

[1:11:20] challenge party has been

[1:11:21] getting dp and others to sign

[1:11:23] off on the approval of the

[1:11:25] dredging. Think we're at a

[1:11:25] point in time to do that. And

[1:11:26] I don't want to put this off

[1:11:30] any longer than we have. I

[1:11:30] think it you know that well

[1:11:31] documented history should help

[1:11:32] you an understanding the need

[1:11:35] for this. And the only

[1:11:36] question that I think I've

[1:11:39] heard in the past in terms of,

[1:11:41] you know, the overall public.

[1:11:43] Good that's coming out of

[1:11:45] this. But if you take a look

[1:11:45] at the timeline, there was an

[1:11:48] awful lot of public good that

[1:11:49] led to the buildup at the base

[1:11:54] of the the basin there. I

[1:11:56] should note that in 2022 as

[1:11:58] part of this process believe

[1:11:58] that there are not a special

[1:12:03] taxing district was created.

[1:12:05] Whereby the neighbors Jason to

[1:12:06] the basin would be response

[1:12:07] for maintaining it after the

[1:12:10] dredging is done. So this is

[1:12:10] they're not getting off

[1:12:13] scot-free in terms of

[1:12:14] maintaining the basin after it

[1:12:17] is stretched. And I appreciate

[1:12:21] public works. Harder to step

[1:12:23] forward and willingness

[1:12:24] oversee the development of

[1:12:25] this dredging project. So

[1:12:26] creatures and appreciate your

[1:12:29] support. Thank you very much.

[1:12:33] To Next past present Carlucci,

[1:12:33] you're recognized.

[1:12:42] hard to get something like

[1:12:46] this permitted. And I just got

[1:12:50] to tell you any time you want

[1:13:17] here it Now. I'm just I'm just

[1:13:17] kidding.
