Finance Committee - Budget Hearings · 2026-08-21 · agenda_item

The City of Jacksonville's Finance Committee is reviewing budgets related to transportation infrastructure, including the 5-Year Road Program, Local Option 1/2 Cent Transportation Tax, and Local Option Gas Tax. Specifically, the Local Option Gas Tax budget was approved with a recommendation to adjust funding between intersection improvements and ADA compliance for sidewalks and curb ramps. Discussions also touched on renegotiating project lists for the Local Option Gas Tax and prioritizing sections of the Emerald Trail. The Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA) budget is also under review, with recommendations for budget adjustments and schedule revisions to be discussed in September. This review includes discussions on JTA's financial health, reserve levels, and the future of various transportation programs. The scope of work could involve site preparation, grading, utility work, road and sidewalk construction, and potentially projects related to the Emerald Trail. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in construction, engineering, and transportation sectors are encouraged to engage early to understand potential project needs and timelines before final plans and permits are established.
