[11 North Third Street, Jacksonville Beach, Florida; case Resolution No. 2208-2026] The City Council is considering adopting Resolution No. 2208-2026, which amends fee schedules for the use of City parks and recreational facilities. Proposed adjustments include nominal increases for tennis, sports program fees (excluding deposits for softball and football, but adding a reimbursement fee for no-shows and a field usage rate for youth sports practice), and increased weekday/weekend/holiday rates for the Community Center & Exhibition Hall to offset security costs. Paws Park membership fees remain unchanged. The resolution also increases the minimum security hours for after-hours and weekend rentals and raises security deposits. The effective date for these changes is June 1, 2026. [case Resolution No. 2214-2026] The City Council is considering adopting Resolution No. 2214-2026, which amends the Memorial Tree and Bench Program. The primary change is an increase in the optional contribution for on-site bronze post-mounted plaque markers from $450 to $650 to cover increased costs of materials, fabrication, and installation. Administrative amendments include using the City of Jacksonville Tree Commission's Approved Planting List for acceptable trees, updating the list of approved City parks, and removing a previous attachment for bench standards. New trees will require a $750 contribution for maintenance, and adopted trees/benches will require a $100 contribution for maintenance. The City commits to replanting trees that fail within the first three years. The program is administered by the Parks and Recreation Department. [Central Business District; case Ordinance No. 2026-8234] The City Council is considering approving Ordinance No. 2026-8234 on its second reading, which establishes a food truck rally pilot program in the Central Business District. This ordinance amends Chapter 12 (Streets, Food and Food Products) by creating Section 12-34. The first reading occurred on April 6, 2026, and a second reading was scheduled for April 20, 2026. The document indicates a discussion ensued about the location, application process, communication with surrounding restaurants and businesses, and the possibility of deferring the item. A motion to defer the ordinance until the next City Council meeting passed unanimously.
