[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
[1:00:48] open about record your vote.

[1:02:50] met with the Salvation Army. A
[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
[1:03:37] auditors. Office of General

[1:04:09] with with the not-for-profits

[1:04:14] getting put under the line and

[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.
[1:12:34] >> Yes, sir. Thank you, MISTER
[1:12:35] Chair. I'd like to be added.
[1:12:36] It's a co-sponsor and and this
[1:12:40] is a complement to COUNCILMAN

[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
[1:12:52] dredge a Anything like that is
[1:12:57] hard, hard, hard. So but your
[1:12:58] your constituents should
[1:12:58] appreciate the heck out of
[1:12:59] you. Get thing done. Out of
[1:13:02] work. It takes and good luck

[1:13:11] Thank Seeing No was the cutest
[1:13:13] wondered, is there anyone here

[1:13:17] here it Now. I'm just I'm just
[1:13:17] kidding.
[1:13:23] >> I'm just kidding. No, I'm
[1:13:25] just saying we as I as I went
[1:13:26] through the history of this
[1:13:28] and I and I really mean, as
[1:13:29] you know, I joked I'm really
[1:13:30] mean this. I think there's
[1:13:34] some things. With the way you
[1:13:37] approach this and public works
[1:13:39] and everyone working together
