July 13, 2026, City Council Briefing agenda packet
The City Council will receive a briefing on the Urban Trails project, which aims to improve pedestrian connectivity throughout the Fletcher School corridor. Conceptual designs are being developed for three specific corridors: Seagate Avenue (Third Street to Penman Road), 10th Street North (Seagate Avenue to 15th Avenue North), and 18th Avenue North (10th Street North to Third Street North). A public outreach meeting was held on May 28, 2026, and feedback has been incorporated into the conceptual alternatives. The Council will be asked if they wish to proceed with these concept designs. The City is considering the creation of a SPARK (Citizen Information Academy Alumni) program to keep graduates engaged and involved in community outreach. A survey of 91 graduates showed strong enthusiasm, with 85% interested in joining and 81% in volunteering. The program aims to share accurate city information, participate in events, and connect neighbors with local government. The Council will be asked to support the program's creation, vision, goals, and budget of $1,605 for startup costs and $750 annually. [North side of the basin at Beach Marine] Dockside Seafood, the current tenant at the City's property north of the basin at Beach Marine, has added cooler space and seating, now totaling 120 seats and a 2,000 sq ft structure. This meets requirements for a 4COP SRX license for full liquor service, but the current lease agreement limits them to a 2COP (beer and wine only) license. The tenant requests an amendment to the lease to allow for a 4COP SRX license. The City Council will discuss if they wish to consider bringing a lease amendment forward. [Jacksonville Beach proper] The City Council will discuss a proposed stand-alone policy for summer camps and tournaments on the beach, which would replace a revision to Section 6-5(a) of the City Code. The policy aims to define 'fitness-related' and 'camp', create a fee schedule, remove the local business tax receipt requirement, and remove the requirement for a place of business west of the bulkhead line. A draft policy is provided, mirroring the Special Event policy, requiring an approved Camp/Tournament Permit with a $200 non-refundable application fee. The Council will be asked if there is consensus to refine the policy and create a fee schedule for formal action.

May 11, 2026, Council Briefing agenda packet
[11 North Third Street] City Council Briefing on May 11, 2026, at 11 North Third Street, Jacksonville Beach, FL, will cover various city matters. Key topics include an update on City Signage and Brand Standards, discussion on E-bikes, a Solar Program discussion, FY2027 Budget Assumptions and Calendar, Committee Assignment Report, and Miscellaneous City Manager's Items. No public comments are taken at this briefing. [11 North Third Street] City Council Briefing on May 11, 2026, will discuss proposed revisions to e-bike regulations. The discussion will consider state legislation impacts, including requirements for yielding to pedestrians, speed limits on sidewalks, and penalties. A draft ordinance is presented, with a specific subsection (31-6(d)) that could prohibit e-bikes on the beach, which can be removed if Council does not wish to implement this restriction. The previous discussion in April 2025 was split on prohibiting e-bikes on the beach. The state has adopted CS for SB 382, awaiting Governor's action, which sets rules for shared pathways, sidewalks, and creates a Micromobility Device Safety Task Force. The city's current ordinance does not prohibit e-bikes on sidewalks, but the proposed changes may address this. Enforcement will be through civil citations with fines up to $50. [11 North Third Street] City Council Briefing on May 11, 2026, will review the Net Metering Policy for solar panels. The current program has reached its participation cap of 2.5% of peak load. Council will consider increasing the cap (e.g., to 5%) and whether to continue compensating exported solar energy at the full retail rate or revise it to the utility's avoided cost. This discussion involves trade-offs between customer access, equity, utility finances, and energy strategy. [11 North Third Street] City Council Briefing on May 11, 2026, will discuss FY2027 Budget Assumptions and Calendar. Key financial assumptions include realistic revenue and expenditure estimates, contingency planning, use of one-time revenues for capital projects, and maintaining fund balance reserves. The city is debt-free and uses a pay-as-you-go approach for capital projects. Proposed legislation impacts are not addressed until signed by the Governor. Revenue assumptions include an unchanged millage rate of 3.9947, continued 50% return of Southend TIF funds, projected state shared revenues, assumed increases in electric and stormwater rates, unchanged natural gas rates with a higher pass-through cost, and utility rates adjusting with CPI. Expense assumptions cover personnel costs (payroll, benefits, merit increases, pay grade adjustments) and operating costs (moderate increases in energy and natural gas). The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) will include projects costing $25,000 or more. The budget workshop schedule and tentative adoption dates (September 8 and 14, 2026) are also presented.

Amended Briefing Packet
[11 North Third Street] City Council Briefing on April 13, 2026, at 5:30 PM in the City Hall 1st Floor Conference Room. Topics include the JBOR/VLSC Annual Report, Summer Camps on the Beach Ordinance, Land Development Code First Annual Report and Operational Impacts, Financial Dialogue regarding Public Works and City budgets, Committee Assignment Report, Miscellaneous City Manager's Items, and Future Briefing Topics. No public comments are taken at this briefing. The City of Jacksonville Beach is located at 11 North Third Street, Jacksonville Beach, FL 32250. [case 2026-xxxx] Ordinance No. 2026-xxxx proposes to amend Chapter 6, Article I, Section 6-5 of the City of Jacksonville Beach Code of Ordinances regarding special permits to operate businesses on beaches. The ordinance aims to codify existing practices for surf and volleyball camps, which were approved in 2003 but never formally codified. It outlines conditions for obtaining permits, including local business tax receipts, a place of business west of the bulkhead line, $1,000,000 in liability insurance, hold-harmless agreements, and restrictions on equipment storage and types of rentals (no motorized boats, kite surfing, or parasailing). The ordinance also clarifies that only specific equipment like chairs, umbrellas, body boards, surfboards, kayaks, bikes, and certain games can be rented. Permits must be renewed annually and can be revoked. The ordinance was presented for briefing on April 13, 2026. The City of Jacksonville Beach is reviewing its Land Development Code (LDC) for its first annual report and operational impacts, to be briefed on April 13, 2026. The review identified areas needing clarification, missing definitions, internal inconsistencies, and scriveners errors. Proposed changes include additions to definitions (e.g., restaurant types, convenience stores, smoke shops), clarifications on board tie votes, historic home renovation standards, parking standards for restaurants, storage of boats and vehicles, notification for short-term vacation rental (STVR) applicants, tree species, and message sign durations. Scriveners errors to be corrected include the definition of 'shopping center' (from 'four or more' to 'three or more' uses) and pervious calculations for wood decks. The goal is to make the LDC more useful and understandable.
